Installing a Honeywell Pro TH4000 programmable thermostat can help you achieve savings in your home cooling costs. The Pro TH4000 allows you to store up to seven days of programming. It also features a backup battery to ensure your thermostat will not get unprogrammed in the event of a power outage. The wiring of a TH4000 will vary depending on your heating and cooling system, but the most common setup is a one-heating-and-one-cooling system.
