Advantages of the Honeywell TH9320WF5003 Wi-Fi thermostat:
- It comes with a coloured touchscreen and allows you to choose from 12 different colour themes.

- This model can keep a check on the local weather and adjust the temperature accordingly.
- Easy override function and comes with push-fit cable connectors for ease of installation.
- Has a five-year limited warranty.
There are some disadvantages as well to the Honeywell TH9320WF5003 Wi-Fi thermostat. They are:
- ‘C’ wire is mandatory for installation.
- In case the area has micro-climates, the weather service and monitoring becomes undependable.
Even though there are these cons, the advantages of the model concerned far outnumber its drawbacks.
Ease of use and Installation
As mentioned earlier, the Honeywell TH9320WF5003 Wi-Fi thermostat is quite easy to set up. Once installation and setup is complete, there is not much programming required to be done by the user. Being a smart thermostat, it can adjust itself according to the current requirements. You may only be required to program it in case of any change in your daily routine.
The thermostat also sends the user an email alert if there is an event that takes place beyond the parameters set by the user. Being mainly a replacement thermostat, this model requires a ‘C’ wire to function like most of the other Wi-Fi thermostats. Hence, if you do not already have a ‘C’ wire, you need to install one or add a power extender kit.
Programming:
The Honeywell TH9320WF5003 Wi-Fi thermostat is quite easy to program. One can also program it without referring to an instruction manual. If there are any changes that need to be made after initial programming, it can be done with the touchscreen, a smartphone, tablet, or a computer.
Energy-saving:
Much like most of its counterparts, the energy-saving of the Honeywell TH9320WF5003 Wi-Fi thermostat depends primarily on how accurately the system has been setup. If the thermostat concerned is an approved one, you might also get a discount or rebate from the energy company. The energy-saving also depends a little bit on the place of installation.
Thus, even though it has a conventional design, it can provide quite a competition to its likes when it comes to functioning and technology. Once the initial setup is over, you can depend upon the thermostat to adjust itself accordingly.
This model is highly efficient and hence, it comes with a 5-year-long warranty. If you are looking for a more modern design then this might not be the best choice for you but if you care more about the functions then the Honeywell TH9320WF5003 is really a good option.
