Honeywell TH8110R1008 Vision Pro 8000 Touch Screen Single Stage Thermostat with Red Link Technology

This is the best thermostat that Honeywell has come up with. I have installed dozens of these thermostats and have not had one failure. It appears that several (many) people on this page have had issues with the thermostat which are relate to improper set up or programming. This product as well as most items related to an HVAC system are not DIY items. Reading over the issues that others have had only proves that to be true. This product is not like screwing in a light bulb. In order to maximize efficiency of your HVAC system, you need to hire a professional who know what he/she is doing to set it up correctly for your type of system. Not doing so will cost you more in inefficiency and possible damage to your HVAC system. So please do yourself a favor and get it done right the first time and avoid the frustration. The money you think you are saving will cost you more in the long run.

I am a 39 veteran of the HVAC industry. I can tell you from extensive experience that the Honeywell line of thermostats are the best on the market. I have tried other brands and most of them are junk. Some are so over engineered that the customer can't use them or program them properly. Even worse, they are overpriced on top of that. I have had 2 of these VisionPro 8000 thermostats on the wall in my home since they were introduced to the market in 2004. Do the math, that's a long time. I find that the biggest problem with a lot of ( smart ) or programmable thermostat is user or installation error. Not product error. I recommend to customers it is better to stay basic and do the homework. I.e. read the owners manual. Honeywell has been making thermostats since 1906. They have it figured out.
