Do you have to set the heat anticipator indicator like on the old round style thermostats?

There is no anticipator adjustment. There are some setting options that can be changed for more unusual systems of gas, oil, electric or steam heat, but other than that, it is a simple plug and play thermostat. For example, if you have a gas furnace of less than 90% efficiency, and no air con-you can change a setting to customize the thermostat to this type of system-presumably this may change when the fan may start and stop relative to the system you have.

There was no heat anticipator. Just hook up the wires according to the directions. There are several different ways for the wiring depending on the type of heating system you have. Easy-peasy

The two buttons to the right of the display that says 72, lets you set the temp you would like in the room. The buttons are up and down arrows, up = raise temp and down = lower temp. You will notice two numbers in the digital display. The larger number to the left is the actual temp in the room, it shows 72 in the display. To the right of that number is what the temp you would like to be in the room. Yes, it's like the old round style thermostat. This one is easier to read and use. I installed it in my elderly parents house. They love it.

Yes. You might find the thermostat mounts with a tab through one of the holes instead of a screw, but that it a minor change.

No, but this does look improved. Mine is Model 32702, heat controlled by human useing inserted thermometer and dial thermostat. Works fine for me, but this one obviously more fine-tuned for temperature control.

I would assume you would be left with a "dumb" thermostat with no programming ability. Just Auto-Heat-Cool, and the temperature setting.

No. Sounds like the timer switch. More expensive. The 2 thermostats control the heat and extreme temps. The timer on an older dryer is the main knob that you turn to select what type of load you have and how much time.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

It does . But as the directions state ... there will be about a 3-4 degree difference . This is because it doesn't have a heating anticipator , as your home thermostat does . But If you set it at say , 67*F , it usually stays between 67*F - 70*F . Which isn't a huge difference anyway . But I've tried pretty much all heaters like this style , and this one is by far the best I've owned , especially for the price .

Yes you will need a thermostat. I used the one that was on the old unit and its working just fine.

Yes, it does. You can set it on different cycles--I use the energy efficient cycle. You set the thermostat at whatever degree you want. Hope this helps you.

NO - it only alarms in the direction of heating (approach from below temp), unfortunately. It is, however, the best of its kind I've managed to find, having tried several brands/styles. Best feature: you can set the alarm point directly (some thermometers have fixed points only) and it beeps gently when it gets close then vigorously when you're at the set point.

Yes, you can. There are 4 tabs along the top of the screen. Under the System tab, your options are: Heat; Cool; Off. Unfortunately, the auto changeover capability is not controlled here. Rather, you have to go to the Menu tab and drill way down, as follows: Menu/Preferences/Advanced Preferences/Heating and Cooling System Changeover. When you get to this screen, your options are: Manual; Automatic. This is where you control the auto changeover between heat and cool. My guess is that Honeywell has buried this capability so deep that many owners have not found it. My recommendation to Honeywell would be to put a checkbox right in the System tab to allow auto changeover or not, at the owner's discretion.

Both! You can set it to change automatically between heat and cool, or you can force it to change to whichever one you want. I've always done it manually, because such a changeover often occurs when the temperatures outside/inside don't require EITHER heat or cool, so I just wait until I feel the need for heating or cooling. Hope this helps.

No, not a problem at all. The thermostat has inputs (places for wires) for heat, fan, AC, heat pumps and sensors. See the install manual here: http://www.venstar.com/Support/Manuals/T5800ManualRev5b.pdf

No, you need to buy the matching thermostat which fastens on the end of the heater.

I got this heater today, didn't use it yet. But just so you know, the red numbers you see in the front is not the digital display or current temp of the water, it shows at what setting you kept your thermostat. I don't know how accurate that thermostat works.

Yes. The heater has a built-in thermostat which controls the temperature that you set by adjusting the dial located on top of the unit. You'll need a thermometer to see the results. Tweak your heater by turning the dial clockwise/or counterclockwise as much as necessary to get your desired temperature. There is a small penlight indicator located on the top-front of the heater that tells you what's going on. Red light means that the heater is on. Green light means that the heater is off but on stand-by.

no. there is a key pad on the front of the unit so you can select the temperature that you would like. Its worked great for us so far. Good luck
