Comments about 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 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...
