Just got the Honeyweel 8000 Pro installed. We have Central A/C and
Furnace. 2 quick questions.

1. I should go into the installer mode and set Changeover to Auto
instead of Manual correct?

2. Why is it that when you go program your schedules, there is a Heat
and Cool temperature setting? I would think that you would want to set
1 temperature and the thermostat would try and keep your home at that
point. Need some guidance here.

Thanks in advanace!

Hi,
1. If your system does heat and/or cool.
I installed two of those. Think it this way. Cool down to, heat upto.
I guess if it was on heat or cool mode only then you know what I mean.
Good luck,

Most people will set the temp cooler in the winter (heating) and
warmer in the summer (cooling). For example, I have my normal temp
set at 68 in the winter and 76 in the summer.

Sure it would be more comfortable to set it at, say, 72 year round,
but it would be *way* more expensive.

HTH,

Paul

If I understand exactly what you are asking, here is my $.02-- Whether
you want auto changeover or not is up to you. Some people want it and
others do not. That is why there is the option to have it or not. It is
mainly for Fall and Spring where it may be 50 deg in the morning, and 85
in the afternoon. Personally, in those conditions, I usually leave it
OFF, or only heat a minimum amount in the morning, so that by afternoon
the house is still cool enough to not have to use a/c That fairly slight
loss of comfort can amount to substantial savings. As far as a serparate
setting in the program for jeat and cool, most people want the heat
setting considerably lower than the a/c setting. Obviously this is most
economical, but most of the people I know are more comfortable at those
settings as well. Bottom line-- it is your thermostat-- set it wherever
you like..

According to your manual:

"Auto Changeover is a feature used in climates where both air conditioning
and heating are used on the same day. When the system is set to Auto, the
thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor
temperature. Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees apart."

You will normally use the manual setting in order to retain optimum control
over your systems.
