Why is it important to have accuracy within 1�?
Most people sense a temperature change around 1.8�. Honeywell thermostats are more accurate than some electronic thermostats which can vary up to 9�. Most thermostat manufacturers use some of our thermostat technology - none are as accurate as Honeywell.
 
 
Please Note:  The temperatures stated above are in degrees Fahrenheit.
 
I am assuming their information cam from research and the research discovered that people are sensitive to temperature changes of 1�C, to which Honeywell converted that to F units.
 
If you need further info, I suggest you write to Honeywell and ask them where they got the figures they come up with.

I'd be interested to know about that research, Chimpsarecute. Do you
have any references to such research that I could use to look it up?
