    There are so many ways to cut energy costs with the expense of energy seemingly rising all the time. A new programmable thermostat is a very effective way to do just that. The best part is you don't have to be a HVAC expert to learn how to install a thermostat.
    I give a quick overview in this video by taking my existing thermostat of the wall and re installing it. I had no idea how to do this years back but I had the opportunity learn how to install a thermostat from a friends father because he was in the heating and cooling business.
    Hiring a professional will probably cost more than you paid for the thermostat itself. By following the steps in this video you can learn how to install a thermostat as well. Not only can you save money on the install but with a new programmable thermostat you can start saving immediately on your how heating and cooling bills.

    Had 4 wire feed to the thermostat. Connected the blue wire to the "'b" terminal. Made sense to me. Air conditioner fan ran all the time, whether thermostat fan switch was auto or on. Wasn't until I connected blue wire to the "y" terminal, thermostat functioned properly. Counter-intuitive.

    Thank you so much. I looked through a few videos and you said things to the point that I could understand it. I changed my 1st thermostat and saved money in doing so.....

    I have a baseboard oil heat system. The old thermostat had only two wires hooked up. A red wire going to “R” and another wire going to “W”. The Honeywell thermostat has two options for “W”, one is “W” without Aux and “W2” aux. any idea which one to use?

    Thank you for your video. I have the same model.
    Question #1: Do I have to do basic "Setup function?"
    Question #2: When the room temperature is matched the setting temperature, the system should stop for a while, right?
    Question #3: If you turned off the system, it should stop after few minus, right?

    My backplate looks completely different that my other one. It does not have the W line to hook up. Labels are
    E, AUX, Y, G, O, L, R, B, C (optional with batteries) & my old non programmable Honeywell thermostat only uses Y G O W R (with jumper connected R to Rc) any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • @sallyoconnor-dl6wp

    i NEED HELP. I replaced the thermostat with Honeywell RTH6580. There were 6 wires (Y, G C, O/B, Rc, and Y2) in the old thermostat and I placed the connections to the same letters in the new one. I programmed and then also connected to the Internet. When I turned it COOL, the hot air came on, instead of A/C. The wires were matched perfectly - should I be doing something else?

    How did you get the red wire in there? I have been fighting it for a solid hour. The R & RC screws are in so tight I can't unscrew them enough to fit the red wire in. All the other screws work just fine

    • @HsingSun
      @HsingSun 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the R/Rc jumper, you should unscrew until the Red wire go in.

    So I have a Honeywell without a C wire connector. But when I removed the Nest it had a C wire. The other wires are connected properly and the instructions said to tape the C wire. It has batteries also. But it won't come on. What the hellogod did I do wrong? It seems so simple.

    My A/C unit is running & cooling home fine.
    But the AC system will not 'automatically' turn on or off by itself. i Put in new thermostat and it still will not 'automatically' turn on or off.
    I have to manually push down arrow on thermostat 3-times to get A/C running.
    Then it will run forever until I manually push up arrow on thermostat.
    Put in new relay switch & new thermometer. Help. Why wont AC automatically turn on (or off) at desired temp. It's a Comfortmaker, put in 10yrs ago. Can't afford new one.
    p.s. The 'furnace heat' side thermostat works perfectly.

      It means you have a 4 wire system. Most likely not hooked up on the other end either. So no dice for you.

  • @michiganmagneto
    @michiganmagneto ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 4-wire coming out of the wall. Red white blue green. No yellow. The back of my Honeywell rth111b non programmable thermostat does not have a spot listed as C for common. I have central air and a gas furnace. No heat pump no boilers nothing like that. I have red white and green hooked up to their proper locations. Initially my AC was working a few days ago but then it got cold so I went to turn the furnace on and nothing would happen I can't even get the fan to turn on. So I thought I would try changing thermostat from the round Mercury analog to this thermostat now. Not sure where those blue wires supposed to hook up nothing was labeled

      Na those wires only have a very small amount voltage running through them so it will not shock you unless your transformer is bad.

      Rosa Juarez if your thermostat doesn't have a w terminal, which is for your heat, then you have and a/c only thermostat. If you don't use heat them the thermostat is fine, or change it out to one that does

    • @sinjon
      @sinjon ปีที่แล้ว

      Mine were tight also. I believe it’s to hold the jumper wire between R and Rc in place. It will come loose, just needs some coaxing. The wire is tough to fit with the jumper but that will fit also. Just need to push it hard into the hole. Maybe take the jumper out and use pliers to flatten it out a little to make room for the red wire
      If you don’t have cooling, you don’t need the jumper anyway
