Comments about Honeywell Honeywell VisionPro 8000 Programmable MultiStage Thermostat:
4 years ago I created a dual fuel system at my home in New England a 15SEER heat pump to compliment my oil furnace. However, there were no controls to run them. I needed a system that at a certain temperature cut the compressor out and kicked in the oil furnace - and locked out the oil furnace above the set temp. Nothing under a $10k computer driven system existed to do that - until now. Where I used to operate the system manually, using the emergency heat hooked into the oil, and the heat pump on the 'On' side, now its all automatic. The heat pump is much less costly to operate than oil at $4 / gallon when all you need to do is remove the chill from the air on a cold fall or spring morning. Plus, on those Nov and Dec afternoons when temps are in the 40's and 50's the heat pump will come on, and at night with temps in the 20's we'll burn the more expensive and higher BTU #2 heating oil. That was the design back in 2003 and its finally how it works.
Prompt shipping. Initial unit was defect. Honeywell was WORTHLESS in their service, claiming this is a contractor only unit and they refused to provide any information until I claimed to be a contractor. They then said it was defective and to return it. This company took my call and shipped a replacement unit within a day.

Had a little trouble with the installation doing it ourselves but once we figured it out it works great. We are still trying to figure out the best programming for us but so far so good.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell VisionPro 8000 Programmable MultiStage Thermostat:
My previous thermostat was a Carrier Debonair 220 Commercial unit that worked very well but didn't allow me to choose anything other than using Auto Change Over mode. I wanted greater personal control than it allowed me. The new Honeywell unit controlled all of the same things as the Carrier unit but also allowed me to choose Heat, Cool, Off in addition to Auto Change Over.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell VisionPro 8000 Programmable MultiStage Thermostat:
Great control for use with multiple backup heat systems (h/pump emergency and oil furnace, say); the use of the outdoor sensor allows for a cross-over temperature to be set so you can program the control when, what temperature, to switch between the backup heating sources, efectively eliminating the need for two controllers - it also enables the display of the outside temperature. It's a shame the relays in the control are so loud; the relays can be heard in an adjacent room! Click, click, click...

Control of Heat Pump. The outdoor thermostat is essential to the correct control of the Heat Pump.
