- : My query is directed to those who have purchased it.
- :
- : a) What's the correct name?
-
- Chronotherm III is the correct name, referring to a family of 'stats with
- Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (AIR). There are three models and many
- variations within each model. These stats are also referred to as the
- "8600" family, because the model numbers are 8600, 8602, and 8621.
-
- : b) What did you pay for it, and where?
-
- They are available only through authorized Heating/AC contractors, hence the
- "Trade Line" designation. For single stage equipment, expect to pay
- (over-the-counter) around $150 for the 8600 or as high as $200 for an 8621.
- Some contractors prefer to do installation themselves, since that was the
- intent of the product line, and some models may require re-wiring or the
- addition of an isolation relay. However, you should be able to find one
- willingto sell the stat to you over-the-counter (no installation).
-
- : c) How long a warranty did it come with?
-
- In the last conversation I had with Honeywell Customer Service, (800-468-1502)
- they stated that this family was offered with a 5 year unconditional warranty.
