Get a Honeywell VisionPro 8000 series and be done with it.
Even the Honeywell "Vision" (a stripped VisionPro) sold at Lowes is a better stat than a Hunter any day.

Every household should have a hunter thermostat. I recomend them. Its good job security.

Still no answer as to why they are junk.
Been using one for 7 years now. With no problems.
What can one expect to go wrong with one?
Professional Member
my experience with them is that if there is a heat problem and the stat is a hunter, that is the problem. power stealing properties possibly? never had a problem in a/c though
as to going wrong, the intermittantly call for heat

I find that they use cheaper electronics and therefor do not last as long. Plus they suck.Originally posted by rich l

Not every single one is doomed for failure but in the big picture seem to be problematic as far as stats go.Originally posted by rich l

I am never one to brand bash, so let me first say that Hunter makes a great ceiling fan
As for their t-stats; not very reliable. Most I have had issues with just would not maintain temperature. Very erratic behaviour on any type of system.

To think, I were in the place of replacing my Honeywell 3650 with one of the hunter stats.

Yeah, I'd install 'em. If I wanted callbacks.

And if you go to wally-world shopping for another thermostat,stay away from LUX too;Even worse!

Other than the power stealing models, I have had good luck with Lux thermostats.

one step better than a lux or a hunter is a wire nut.
