Ok, I have given this thing a chance. We are not living in the house yet so it has been hard to monitor constantly but every time I am at the house it is unbarabley warm. It seems to be anywhere between 23 - 25 degrees.

I finally took the time to read the manual the other night and try to program it for the week and weekends with the "wake up" "leave" "come home" and "bed time" temperatures. SInce it is degrees Celsius, I was not positive of the temperatures I was programming but I did not go over 20.5 degrees. I was there today and it was 25 degrees in the house!! I bet Milton Hydro is going to love me!

Has anyone had a problem this way with the Thermostat. I don't think I'm an idiot, it doesn't seem like rocket science but....

We had the opposite problem. We replaced our non-programmable thermostat with a programmable honeywell 5-2 day one (our first DIY job in the house). Although it states that you should set the temperature and time exactly and it automatically warms the house up to meet that time (i.e. if you set 7am and 70 degrees, it should warm the house up to be 70 degrees at 7am), we found this didn't work. At 7am the house was 60 degrees. It took some fiddling with the settings and I also balanced the furnace and closed the vents in the rooms we don't use often.

There should be setting to change the temperature between F and C to whatever you're comfortable with...that's pretty standard and can be changed in the settings menu which should be in your instruction book. Personally I still think in F, even though every country I've ever lived in primarily used C
