Hi;
I suspect you saved some good money having a friend help with the wiring. I 
had a furnace company do it primarily because it wasn't doing me much good 
in the box.  It cost a few dollars but works fine.
I have heard periodic message such as "time to change filter" or "time to 
change bulb" but they only seem to play once and after that you are on your 
own.

I think that's probably where most of us got ours.  The guy who runs that is
really great.  The only problem I had is that I couldn't install the thing
without eyes around because the wiring info wasn't accessible to mine.  I 
could
see the wire colors with the gadget I've got but didn't have the info for
hooking them up to the thermostat.  Also didn't have the jumper info I 
needed.
Got a friend over to help with it rather than a heating person so saved 
myself
that batch of money <g>.  I think mine is the 1000.  Got it a couple months 
ago.
