If you are talking about the difference between heating mode and cooling mode and the room setpoint, you can not change it. It comes from the factory with a 3 degree difference. In other words if you raise the heat setpoint until it is within 3 degrees of the cooling setpoint, for every degree you raise the heat setpoint the cooling will raise a degree.
About all you can do is increase the distance between the heat and cooling setpoint. To do this either lower the cooling setpoint to 3 degrees higher than the heat setpoint you want and then increase the cooling setpoint the desired setting. For example heat and cool setpoints are 67 and 70 respectively, and you want 65 and 73. Lower the cooling setpoint to 68 and then raise the cooling setpoint to 73. Now your heating will come on 3 degress lower than 68, the 65 you wanted and cooling will come on at 73. Remember, the thermostat new setpoints will turn on the cooling at 75 and turn back off at 73 and heat will turn on at 63 and turn off at 65.
You can perform the same using the heating setpoint, just have to look at it backwards. If you need to lower the difference I recommend a 8000 series thermostat. They are the most functional thermostat that Honeywell makes, be in mind they are about 3 times more expensive and many of the setting require a well trained tech to interpret and set properly.
Hope this helps.

Try adjusting the heat range up. Set it a 77 then try the cool.
I believe the Honeywells have a max range between cool and heat.
also sometimes there is a lock out code on them you'll need the book.
Good luck

SOURCE: I bought a Honeywell RTH8500 thermostat and I can't get the temperature to go down past 75 degrees

You will need the installation book that came with the thermostat. There is a way to enter into the programming of the thermostat from the home screen. From there, you will need to find what code is the temperature settings in the manual, they are usually all 3 digit numbers. Once you find the code for the setting your looking for which is the lowest temp for the thermostat, it will have a 75 to the right of it which you can set a lower number. Sorry I do not have the manual right now to just tell you exactly how, but hope this still helps!

How do I replace an old White Rodgers thermostat with new honeywell TH5220

The Orange wire for the reversing valve and used with a Heat Pump
If you have a heat pump, then yes. If you have a gas furnace then no. If you have a HP and the reversing valve is not connected, then you might just be using the emergency electric heat strips. :-o

FocusPro TH5000 will not cool

Make sure the thermostat is set to "cool" mode. Make sure the thermostat is wired correctly and has fresh batteries in it. Check both the thermostat end and the air handler end of the wires. If All this checks out, the problem is most likely in the air conditioner, not the thermostat.

My round non-programmable digital thermostat doesn't seem to be communicating with the heater very well. I set it to 70 degrees and it clicks off before reaching that temperature. Any ideas?

It sounds like you may have a round Honeywell thermostat. It could be that the temperature pointer you see on the face of the thermostat just needs to be adjusted. The next time your furnace or AC finishes running, remove the face off the thermostat and use a small screwdriver to set the dial so the pointer temp matches the other temperature indicator.

Temperature fluctuates

Actually that thermostat is adjustable for only +/- 1 degree. I would make sure it is located close to a radiator/register, whichever you have, to help close that 8 degree variance. The thing about hot water heat is that even when the boiler shuts down those radiators are still putting off heat, so the temp can still shoot up a few more degrees after the stat has been satisfied. Is the boiler shutting down when the stat hits 71* ? If not then the stat may be bad. Honeywell carries a 5 year replacement warranty on that stat. I use the Honeywell Focus stats in almost all my installations. They are a very dependable thermostat. Feel free to ask anything else that will help solve your problem...Rob

Does the T8602C1095 have an anticipator that may need adjustment when the temperature set is exceeded, eg we set at 70 and it goes to 71-72 and then need to manually shut down system.

that is how they work. ther is a 1 to 3 degree variance up or down.it probaly does not kick back until 67 or68 degrees. a two stage furnace will keep a more steady temp.

Honeywell thermostat for (heat/AC pump) #T874G1246 Temperature levers for heat and cool are only adjustable in tandem, ie: can not adjust them independently.

your heat pump can only do one thing at a time. its either cooling, heating or off. you have no need to adjust set points individually.
