The Benefits of the Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat

Official figures from the US Department of Energy show that the average household in the USA spends $2,200 annually on heating and cooling costs. Although electricity costs vary from area to area it is also estimated that huge savings can be made by installing a good Energy Star rated programmable thermostat. The cheap Honeywell RTH7500D fits the bill perfectly.

The Honeywell RTH7500D Programmable thermostat can save an average household up to 33% on its annual heating and cooling costs. That amounts to over $700 a year. And when you consider the Honeywell RTH7500D costs only $60 it means the thermostat pays for itself in a month.

Installation is easy for the Honeywell RTH7500D programmable thermostat. It can be made to regulate both single and multi stage systems. It can control separate heating and cooling systems, air conditioner units, gas pumps and even electric fireplaces. The thermostat itself runs on either batteries or off the mains supply.

Once installed the Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat is very easy to use. It has smart response technology and an easy-to-understand menu driven interface which uses only 3 buttons. The display screen is big and backlit so it is also suitable for those with poor eyesight.

The thermostat allows you to program in your heating and cooling requirements for each day of the week. And within each day you can program in 4 different periods. This allows you to exactly plan your energy use and save money and reduce your carbon expenditure. Thus you can have the heating on low during the night, have it come on just before you get up, then have it turn off while you are at work and then have it come on again just before you return from your job. This makes your house more comfortable and saves you using your cooling and heating systems wastefully.

The Honeywell RTH7500D thermostat is accurate to within one degrees Fahrenheit and automatically switches between heating and cooling systems as required to make sure the temperature in your house is just as you want it.

Honeywell is a trusted brand. They have been making control technology, automotive parts and products for the aerospace industry for over 120 years. And to further reassure you, every Honeywell RTH7500D Programmable Thermostat comes with a one-year warranty.

This is an excellent example of an Energy Star product that saves you money through energy efficiency and helps the environment. In 2008 government figures show that Energy Star products reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 43 million metric tons.  Buying an Energy Star rated Honeywell RTH7500D is a great first step to being more energy efficient and being more environmentally friendly.
