A good simple thermostat
My wife and I are both retired so every day is a ‘weekend day’. Most thermostats require multiple settings for different kinds of days. Good idea if you’re a worker but bad idea if you’re me since going on vacation etc requires MULTIPLE thermostat adjustments. Also, why pay extra for annoying unused features. This thermostat is simple, easy to install and has typical Honeywell accuracy and reliability. For me it’s ideal.

Best money I’ve spent in a long time
I bought this thermostat this fall from a big box home improvement store and it’s paid for itself several times over in a few short months (and I paid more than the listing price on Amazon).
I had never installed a thermostat before, but it was a breeze to install. I turned off the breakers to my living room, carefully removed the old thermostat, attached two wires, installed a couple of screws (I think that I ended up drilling one new hole), and turned the power back on. Less than 15 minutes from start to finish, and I’m not the handiest gal you’ll ever meet. It worked. I set it to turn down at night while we’re sleeping and during the day when we’re gone. I also put the plastic on the windows, but other than the new thermostat I did nothing different this year than last.
February 2008- the portion of our utility bill for natural gas was $188.03. February 2009, with the average temperature just 4 degrees warmer, our natural gas bill was $88.08. We have saved at least $40 every month since I installed it. It’s paid for itself several times over. It’s probably the best thing I’ve purchased in a very long time.

Works well
Basic programmable t-stat. Works well, easy to install Honeywell is a good brand. ** But in the image on the screen on amazon it looks bright again, but it is not illuminated.
