Aesthetically enticing, but lousy instructions November 17, 2008

We replaced our Totaline P474-0100 (non-programable) with this Hunter model tonight that we had purchased from Lowe's. Initally we chose this model because it was aestetically pleasing, but as I can attetst from the last two hours of trial-and-error (and a lot of googeling on my wive's part), the instructions leave much to be desired. br / br /The old Totaline had the following: br /R=Red br /G=Green br /Y1=Yellow br /W1=Orange br /C=Blue br / br /In order to make BOTH the A/C and Heat work on the heatpump I had to do the following: br /RC/R=Red br /C=Blue br /Y1=Yellow br /O=Orange br /G=Green br /Jumper RC/R to RH br / br /The jumper is shown in the HVAC diagram, not the heat pump diagram of the manual. I also did not use the "Optional Jumper" of E to W2. As of right now we have both Heat and A/C. I am new to the whole Heat pump thing, and am not real sure about the emergency heat, since my old thermostat did not have a connection for E-heat, although it had a program for it. br /I came up with the wiring connections through a couple different reviews and wished they had posted thier final wiring, so I hope this helps someone out a little. br /
Great unit but not for the technically challenged November 1, 2008
J. Thomas (Plano, TX)
I was very hesitant in purchasing this unit because of the conflicting reviews here. I decided to finally go with this to try it out and return it within my 30 day return period at Lowes if it didn't work out. I've had it for over a week now and I would say I like the unit. I think my wife is getting tired of me telling her about the new cool feature that I found out about the unit. If you are someone who wants a simple unit, this is not it but I like a little challenge so I took this on. so far I like the unit and still learning new things. I gave it a 4 star because I think they could have made it a little bit more user friendly. Overall I recommend this unit. br / br /Few questions I have that someone might be able to answer: br /Is there a way to have the fan recirculating bring in warm air? It's cold here but not cold enough for my heater to come on so everytime the fan comes on it's bringing in cool not cold air. Maybe I should just turn the recirculation off during the winter season? I also haven't figured out how to program in the fan recirculation time. br /Also for the auto switchover, I have to program in the heat and cold separately?
Good features but watch out for manual error October 23, 2008

I bought this thermostat at Menards. It was not too hard replacing the old thermostat following the manual. It has a lot of nice features. Installed it a month ago. Everything worked great until the cold weather started this week. It does not start the heater. The screen shows heater running but actually not. Removed the unit and double checked the wiring but still without any clue. Finally talked to the tech support after 20 minutes waiting on the phone. The technician asked a few questions and then told me that the jumper should be connected between RC and RH, not as specified in the user manual to connect between W2 and E for a heat pump system. It is a mis-print. Fixed the wiring and it's working fine again. Really like its features so I still give it a four-star rating.

We have 2 conventional AC units in our house (one for upstairs and one for downstairs) and both had the old mercury thermostats. Initially, I bought the Hunter unit because of all the features it had at a great price. The auto-switch from heat to cold with corresponding amber and blue backlit displays was a fancy touch. The energy-star 4-program/day chart helped to understand what temperature ranges would be maintained and at what times of the day. The touchscreen is always a convienent feature and the 30-second display screen lock is great for when you need to clean the display screen. The unit icons and text displays tell you exacty what the unit is doing at the current moment. There is a learning curve with operating the unit, but it only takes a little bit of practice before you become proficient. The hold features are excellent. It's great that you can set how many minutes you want the "temporary" hold feature to last - it returns to normal programming after the minutes you set expire (ex. you want heat for 12 or 15 minutes only). There's also a "Vacation" hold feature. br / br /For the 2nd AC unit I tried buying a Honeywell RTH7400 from Home Depot because I was given a $50 Home Depot gift card. Unfortunately, they did not sell the Hunter unit at Home Depot. It cost just as much as the Hunter unit (sold at Lowes), but had less features. I knew that it was not touchscreen. It did not have the auto switch from heat to cool feature. It did not have the configurable "Temporary" or "Vacation" hold feature. There was no Energy-star chart to show the 4 programs/day settings. br / br /As a result I'm going to return the Honeywell unit and get a second Hunter digital thermostat.
Great Touch Screen Thermostat September 16, 2008
Bob (Florida)
Installed for a heat pump system, O/B wire from White-Rogers digital thermostat went to O as another reviewer indicated (Thanks). Install was easy, setting up the program was only tricky at first because I did not read the Directions that appear at the top of the touch screen at each new screen! When I read and followed them the programming was straight forward. Well thought out, and the back lit touch screen is really nice.
