This video has almost half a million views. Nobody would look this up for fun which means you’ve helped 500,000 people replace their batteries. Me included. Thanks!
Bless you for posting this. My husband normally does all of the repair work around the house. But two months ago he had a stroke and is still in a recovery center. The battery light was flashing on my Luxpro thermostat, and had been for weeks before I thought to check on TH-cam for a how-to video. Thanks to your advice, it took me all of 1 or 2 minutes to take the cover off and replace the two AA batteries. And that included the time walking to and from the kitchen to access batteries!
You my friend are a superhero. Ridiculous that I’ve been relying on a space heater. Started to get inkling some thermostats took batteries but couldn’t get face plate off old Honeywell in rental unit (& don’t feel great about repair people I don’t know in my space when I’m not there). Got it off (bottom screw), ran for AAA batts, all done, cranking up the heat and embraced the old wall heater. Heat = good. Thanks!!
Thank you! So simple of a fix. I was checking out videos on how to replace a thermostat and saw some have batteries. Then found your video next. Very helpful! The house is cooling now. Whoop!
Thank you so very much. As another lady said below, my husband used to do this and I never knew how. Now that he's gone it's all up to me. After you did the one I have I went in the hall and went to work! :) It worked just as you directed and I now have new batteries and the heat is on. Bless you. :) Merry Christmas too. :)
My Honeywell looks like yours, but doesn't have the slide-out battery compartment in the top-right corner. The entire thermostat unit pulls directly off a base that's attached to the wall, similar to some other models you showed. The problem is that the first time you do it, it's hard to know how to hold it, how hard to pull it, and which direction to pull it. Once you pull the unit off the base, you'll see the batteries running end-to-end along the top of the unit inside. Thanks for the overview of models you have there. Battery change was successful. - Bill
Thanks, this is extrememly helpful. Saved me a lot of fumbling and potential damage. People like you are 1000 times more valuable to society than celebrities or politicians. :D
I've got a Trane XT300 thermostat. (Its old...no manuals online.) The REPL BATT indicator has come on. It contains 3 AAA batteries. I replaced them with new but the REPL BATT indicator remains on. The batteries I removed also test fine (1.58V each), the same as brand new AAA batteries. Is there a coin cell battery on the circuit board and if so, how do I get the back panel off the thermostat to access the circuit board and possible coin cell battery? Or perhaps a "non replaceable" rechargable battery? I see one screw holding the back on, then 3 screws used to adjust various functions, but I don't really want to remove those as I don't understand how they are set and don't want to screw up the functionality of the thermostat.
Glad to have found this video on battery replacement for these units that I'm sure some of us (Chicago Controls units) would like to throw out the window. Thank you for the demo though, it is appreciated.
Carrier thermostat went crazy, AC completely stopped working in 90 degree FL... Thanks for posting this video - it was a dead battery and now up and running in minutes!
What about Holywell control box which are for Rayburn Old one , cooker and heating water. Do you know we’re we could get one it’s 27 years old , Rayburn, is they say they don’t make them any more, please help ,thank you ,
I'm with heykaykay_hd! My thermostat was the Honeywell. Every video I watched didn't show .mine, but you did a great job with various models. Thank you!
there are no end of videos about how to replace batteries but none about how to clean corrosion when a battery has leaked. I can't see the corrosion but i've been told that's why I can't program anymore.
My boiler is acting up and I think it’s the thermostat. I changed the batteries and now the display says ”battery” which according to the manual means the thermostat is running on battery power only but I’m getting voltage at the wires. It never said low battery. But I figured I’d just replace the batteries. 🤔
hey I got a comfort master thermostat and it needs 3 double AA alkaline battery and I put the battery in thier but their is a text that says battery and I put new battery's in thier how do I fix it if you need to know how it looks it looks like it have a rectangular shape window and it have two more rectangular shape buttons with blu and red on the other one how I fix it dose it need a percific battery I don't know plz help in hot
Thank you, but I’m still afraid I might break mine, I’m in an apartment and I was trying to avoid going to the office! 🥴 Anyhow, when you mentioned the Mercury, I chuckled a little… When I was 12 y/o, our thermometer broke and I was playing with the Mercury. My Mother came in yelling at me and explained why!!! 😬😬😬
God bless TH-cam! I am single & didn't know how to remove the thermostat cover. I feel like I should know this but I don't lol I was able to change the batteries & replace the cover. I'm proud of myself & didn't have to ask a male friend for help😂
Thank you so very much for this video. I've never had to change the battery in our TRANE digital unit. So glad to see your video. If not I would have broken ours for sure because I was not doing it right when I was trying to get it off or open (referring to the face plate.

Thanks so much. You taught me how to take the front off of my thermostat. I was able to replace the batteries 😃👍🏽✌️❤️
I’m frustrated bc my thermostat won’t come off with any of these techniques, but you have a very wholesome and calm voice.
I needed that, thanks ❤️

The instruction was golden, & the accent is awesome. Made the video much less monotonous.
Thank you. I wish you were around our neighbourhood! So clear and concise!
Thank you! So well done and easy to understand.

Mine's closest to top middle and my next question is how on earth do I get these things out of there without skinning my thumb? They are so stubborn!
Thank you very much, sir! Very helpful! 👍🏻
Thank you. It worked! If it weren't for your instruction here, I probably would've snapped the face piece off and broke it.
Thanks for the vid. It helped!
You are the real MVP. Thanks for posting this.
what are Peeyins?

Replacing batteries on my American Standard thermostat
My boiler is acting up and I think it’s the thermostat. I changed the batteries and now the display says ”battery” which according to the manual means the thermostat is running on battery power only but I’m getting voltage at the wires. It never said low battery. But I figured I’d just replace the batteries. 🤔
could I replace my old batteries with Zinc batteries instead of Alkaline?
I have a Venstar T1800? I have to restart this thermostat, how?
This was a really well done video. 5 stars.
So if they don't have a battery, then what do you do?
Thank you for posting this.
Well I changed the batteries and it still doesn't come on. What else causes this?

My Mother came in yelling at me and explained why!!! 😬😬😬

Thanks ,
Leave out the fun music
Thank you again...because I keep forgetting :)
There is no need to have batteries in your thermostat, just hard wire it,and you never need batteries.
👍👍
Why There Is Loud Background Music Playing While The Demo Is Going On ?
If You Really Want People To Listen To Your Instructions, Please Do Not Play The Music While You Are Talking…
Very good explanation on different styles of thermostats...but the music is absolutely hideous, awful, awful. awful!
Thank you!
Thank you!
