Honeywell thermostat install
As part of the Honeywell thermostat installation, we first had to perform the Honeywell smart thermostat removal of the older unit that had a cracked display from falling off the wall. The Honeywell thermostat wiring was pretty simple since you just label the wires you remove off the older Honeywell thermostat, and wire them in the same spot when you install the new Honeywell thermostat
Honeywell wifi thermostat no c wire for rth9585wf
The Honeywell wifi setup is simple, but if your AC system is a 4-wire instead of a 5-wire have no C wire, then you're in trouble and have to do some wiring tricks because you need that 24 VAC on the C wire from the air conditioner to power your new Honeywell smart thermostat rth9585wf. Remember this Honeywell smart color thermostat is not battery-powered, it requires power directly from the air conditioner unit.
The menus on this are self-explanatory and easy to follow and navigate. Consider this thermostat installation video to also be your Honeywell WiFi thermostat instructions, in particular, the wiring instructions for this smart wifi thermostat. Hopefully, this how-to installation video makes your Honeywell thermostat wifi installation go smoothly.

What to do if you get a Honeywell wifi thermostat without c wire
With any smart thermostat with no C Wire, you still have to give it 24 V to power the smart thermostat. In my Honeywell rth9585 installation, I stole the green "G" wire from the G terminal and used it as the C wire on the C terminal to power this smart thermostat with 24 VAC. This means however that I can't have the function where I just run the blower by itself with no AC or Heat, like the vent function in your car. No big deal, we only use our central air conditioning unit in AC mode or in Heat mode. So the blower comes on automatically when your Honeywell Smart Thermostat tells the AC or heat to turn on.

Okay I thinking on getting it, It got confusing on link to Amazon for thermostat, on description it said it uses AA batteries If you don't have C wire? I have a regular gas furnace ( no AC/ cooling system) nothing fancy So I can't use that thermostat that is required C wire hook up even on Amazon it takes AA battery? I want to get one that is password protected that nobody can turn on furnace and jack up the temp and I can shut off and turn on furnace while I'm at work or out of town.
If my red wire has continuous 27 volts would I put that in the " c " slot? Thanks
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the informative video, it was very helpful. I have a 4 zone system - three that can operate on their own, and the 4th is the main panel that controls the 4th zone but can also control the other three. Will this Honeywell system work in that set up? I do have the 5 wires required and had the Honeywell in another home and liked it. The plan is to replace the existing Honeywell's that are about 15 years old.
Thanks!
Jeff
Any updates on this?
We recently had our HVAC replaced with what I Believe is Heat pump after years of a dead unit and I'm looking into a more advanced controller. What I'd Like to have is one where I can have AC from say 8a-8p and then have it switch to heat from 8p-8a during the warmer months, but during the colder months, have it be just on heat. I was also considering finding one that can adjust based on the exterior temperature, but I'm still pondering how important that would be.
AWESOME... I'm 67 years old and a woman - and I DID IT! Too easy! Thank you for the walk thru!
You are so welcome!
And a woman? đ
AND a woman............ đ€Šââïž
Great job!!!
After reading the confusing instructions to use a "C" wire, I ran a new 5 wire cable. Your explanation gave me the understanding and confidence to do this. Thank You Jeff for your down to earth explanations. It works like charm.
Awesome glad it worked
Thank you for posting this video! I was dreading changing my heating and cooling thermostat, but I didnât want to spend over $400.00 to get someone to install it for me. I followed your video methodically and was able to complete this task by myself. Thank you for sharing your expertise with me and the uTube world!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
52 seconds into your intro, I knew this was the best instruction about installing this unit. Cons were up front & this was invaluable & greatly appreciated!
Thank you for biting the bullet, & troubleshooting it all, for the rest of us.
thanks glad to help!
If you dont have a C wire you can always purchase a Plug in Transformer that will provide 24v, super easy.
@@willytech97 how much was that??
@@kellydunn9275 the plug in transformers run around $20
@@willytech97 thank you so much, I ended up having all the wires I needed which I was so thankful for!! The were stuck in the wall cavity
Just purchased this exact thermostat and this video made installation seamless.
You never cease to amaze me Jeff, installing one of these today, and bam Jeff got a video on itđđ ïžđđ ïžđ
You know it bro!
I'm really glad he took the time to make this video. But the first eight minutes could have been covered in 45 seconds. The second eight minutes was very useful
After doing some research on my wiring, this showing me the green wire (which I have on my system for power for "C" wire which I have) is the one to use for it, not only was I happy to learn that and I will check with meter to verify that my green wire has power on mine for certain, it also sold me on buying this exact unit. I appreciate all the helpful info and phone app workability which was also extremely helpful! THANKS MAN!
Glad to help Roy!
This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank goodness for all of the teachers at CZcams University. đ€Ł thanks so much for posting!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Jeff. I enjoyed your video because it was to the point. You wasted no time showing us useless stuff; I appreciated that. I have this (same) thermostat but today, it powered off at 02:30. When I awoke, I noticed it and haven't been able to reset it. I removed it, checked the breakers and replaced the faceplate, but it still didn't reconnect.
Hi Mr. Jeff, I just purchased the same Honeywell Wifi Thermostat here in Central FL.. and I'll install it tomorrow.. Our old HoneyWell is still trying to Connect for 3 days..6 yrs of great service.. but it was time for an Upgrade..! Thanks for the great helpful video.. Stay Safe .!
Glad to help Alberto!
Thank you for this excellent video. I was afraid to do this by myself, but your instructions were perfect and saved me having to pay someone to do it for me. THANK YOU!!
OMG! That is an awesome thermostat. We recently got a quote for an updated central system and, the Thermostat EXACTLY like this one was $1500.00 added on the $10,000.00 price JUST for the Air cond., without the furnace, since ours was recently replaced with an Energy star 95 percent efficient 100,000 BTU Propane furnace.
Hey, great video. School of YOU TUBE came thru again. It made the change super simple and it made me very confident in the hands on work.
from beginning to end and from device to App instructions, awesome that's what i needed.
Thanks Jonathan, glad to help out!
Nice video just pick this up and going to install in on Saturday after replacing my central ac unit. I pick this up for $54.02 out the door I think that's a good price.
Awesome advice and crystal clear instructions. Thank you so much for sharing!
Every night at 2am, the screen will be 100% bright for about one hour. That is normal and I don't think it's mentioned in the owner's manual. Thought mine was bad but I found the answer online.
Ha I just bought one of these yesterday and made this same mistake.lol Tried it without the C wire and the screen blinks on for 1 second and off for 2 seconds and repeats. Tried different configurations with the same results. The system just wonât stay on. Took it off and found an unused C wire but the display doesnât come on at all now but we did feel the air coming through the vents even though we canât control anything. Gonna give it another go today. Thanks for this video.
Dang I hope you did not get a bum unit, maybe the display part is bad. If you can measure the C wire voltage, see if it is 24v
jeffostroff tried again this morning and just put the old unit back on. Iâm gonna call Best Buy and let them handle this one. The air did cut on this morning but no display. Thanks for the reply.
Great video, but wonder why you didnât mention to turn off power to the AC AND HEATING in the electrical panel before starting. You showed it, but didnât mention to turn off the power.đ€đđœ
Excellent Video! Although I am not a Handy person I would love to watch the DYI videos!
Thanks for coming back to another of our videos Leah
Great job! Just bought this thermostat. Thanks for the great, easy to understand video!
Glad it helped!
Very Helpful video. Didn't have read the instructions at all setting mine up.
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for the video. The best instructor every.
You're very welcome!
Great video! Led me right through my installation. Thank you!
Glad it helped
I installed one several years ago, and I had to fish an additional wire for the C wire. Living in Minnesota, mine controls my furnace, and the furnace controls the AC.
Very illustrative video. Thanks for that!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for the c- wire information
Glad to help Daniel!
Great video. Very informative. Thank you. I wish you could showed the whole menu on the settings, even if it was brief. But great job on the video. Just purchased one. Thanks.
Sorry about that video was getting too long already.
Yeah I definitely don't want to get stoinked
Thanks for the wisdom
Any time!
Thanks for your video. I have only one question remaining after watching it... My unit is ClimateMaster and has a Dehumidifier - with a black wire marked as Dehumidifier. Do you know if this thermostat handles dehumidification? Thanks!
This is awesome. I just bought one of these at HD for $99 (on sale from $179). The thermostat in the house that I just bought was acting weird and this is an older house (built in '99) so I decided to just change it out. Come to find out, it was a battery-operated one. I suspect that the weirdness was because the batteries were low but not so low that it stopped working altogether.
I pulled the old module off the wall (but not the backplate) and only saw 4 wires. Well, damn. Then I went to the furnace and saw that there was a 5th wire wrapped around the sheathing, not being used. BINGO! So I went back to the wall and could see that they took that blue wire and fed it back into the hole in the wall. I pulled it out, hooked it up to the C connection on the furnace and, as if by magic, the thermostat powered right up!
And it was a sinch to connect to my wifi and my phone, so now I can adjust the schedule without standing in the hallway bending over. So much better for my back. And the old thermostat was only backlit when you did something to it. It's nice to have power going to it all the time so I never have to worry about batteries and I can read the thing without changing something.
So far, I love it! Thanks so much for the video to give me enough knowledge to get this replaced without having to call an HVAC guy, although the furnace hasn't been serviced since 2001, so I'm going to have someone come out and do a good cleaning on it just to make sure everything is in good working order.
Awesome, glad to hear you found that 5th wire, this is a great thermostat and you got that great black friday sales price too
I got the same 99.00 deal!!
@@j.rcoker9051 SWEET!
Thanks so very much about the C; you're right about it being in very small letters! I have a 5-wire (or common) so I was able to get this connected; but would not have if I had not watched your video first.
Way to go Eddie
Note to all: the C wire is usually blue. My 20 year old home fortunately has the blue wire currently not connected to my old thermostat, but that will change tomorrow when I install this beauty.
I have a boiler and this exact thermostat and it works fine with a 24v adapter. So it will work without a common wire
Yes I had mine working without a common. I did not have the adapter like you did but I just robbed another part of the circuit in the air conditioner in order to make it work.
How do you set up the auto change?
I keep getting mixed info on using a wired outside temp sensor. They say it can be done, but no-one has told me which terminals to use for this thermostat. Either it cannot be done, or can someone tell me where to connect? There is no s1/s2, responders say "get an electritian or hvac guy" but I've wired home entertainment systems that are more complicated, taught CCNA (cisco certification part where you had to make and run your own Cat5 wires to routers and switches), so I am not sure how wiring this is too complicated for me. Is there a terminal for external outside sensors or not? If so which? Thank for your response and sorry for being too wordy. Great video.
I never used sensors, so try the page on Honeywell's web site for this thermostat and then contact their customer care who can answer that, they don't show anything in the manual
Did you know that the Ecobee smart thermostats come with a pek module or a power extender kit module that you wire in at your furnace that converts your 4 wire interface to supply power at the thermostat? You don't give up your G wire. You can still independently control you fan without heat or cool being on. That is why I went with an Ecobee. Plus you get added voice control through Alexa or google home.
that is handy
Great instructional video on this thermostat install and set up. Loved it!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
@@jeffostroff I have been wanting to go Smart Thermostat for 16 years but was afraid to try it because I never changed one before. Thanks for helping make that come true!
Thank ou for making this video. I just bought mine and my ac heat guys will be installing this with my new system
Glad I could help, you'll love this thermostat!
So I noticed in the setup screen you have to indicate whether you have Gas or Electric service. It appears to be a binary choice. What if you have a package unit with electric AC and Gas Heat? Would you select electric?
question, the thermostat i currently have you never have to change the batteries does that possibly mean it already has that c wire tht would be needed for this thermostat
Excellent job on this video. Thank you.
Jeff, very helpful. My TRANE XL850 died and I should be able to replace with a like version of the Honeywell (both 24v) the Trane is connected by 3 wires.
Only 3 wires? That might be a challenge. Soon I want to upgrade my AC to the Dave Lennox Series, their top of the line model, then convert to 5 wire.
Thank you for the video! Question, recently my thermostat (slightly older model) starts turning the air on sooner than the scheduled time. And I know the weather outside is not hot enough to start the program. Example: I have it set to lower the air from 74 to 70 at 8pm. This is starting to lower the air at 6pm. (before it would start around 7:45pm). So I decided to do a factory restart, and still same results. Now another issue. It is registering 75 when I know for a fact that the room is 70 degrees because I have 2 portable thermometers that I am using to make sure this is right and they both say 70. I tried to reach out to Honeywell support, but no response yet, been 3 days. Any advice? The unit is only 5 years old.
Maybe your time zone is off on the thermostat? Check the setup menu, find out what city is the time zone that it thinks it is set to
What do you do with the S1 and S2 wires on the older Honeywell thermostat?
Just a quick question. How do i change the look of the thermostat? Not the color but the theme itself?
Hi Jeff,
I try to install this one same as yours RTH9585Wi-Fi. I have only four wires White, Blue, Red and Green but the green wire you are connecting is C WIRE? It's supposed to go with G below Y?
They told me to buy C adaptor to install. Please let me ASAP so that I don't need to buy Adapter. Thanks
I had to steal a wire from inside my air conditioning air handler unit to pretend to be the see water because I too had a four wire system not a five wire system. So I looked on the schematic for my air handler and found a spot where I could grab the 24 Volt AC C wire but by doing that I had to disconnect one of the four wires going to the thermostat which controls just running the fan only mode on the air handler. So I lose the ability to ever just turn on the fan only which I don't mind because I only use my system in AC mode or in heating mode and I never need just the fan only mode so it was a loss of functionality that I am able to live with.
is this a learning thermostat like the nest?
like it learns your heating and cooling schedule so you dont ever have to touch it the nest does that which i like
Thank you for this. It made my install so easy.
Glad it helped Ryan
Great Tutorial and Video! Thank you for such a informative walk Thur. đ
My old thermostat wiring has G wire⊠I inserted into G slot on the Honeywell but it didnât work. The thermostat didnât start up after I finished installation
The g wire provides power to the blower, not the thermostat. You need the "C" wire for that: www.ifixit.com/News/30317/what-all-those-letters-mean-on-your-thermostats-wiring#:~:text=G%3A%20This%20wire%20controls%20the,the%20vents%20in%20your%20house.
Does this thermostat have an audible "clicking" sound when it turns on? Also, can the screen be completely turned off?
Is there a way to slow down the fan speed when the air conditioning is working?
Excellent presentation and easy to follow. Good job Jeff thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it Bill!
I wish it would have showed for the 2 stage wire connect cause that is what I need.
They have instructions on their website for all wiring scenarios
so far I have watched 3 and none of them were for the 2 stage but I will keep looking. Thank you.@@jeffostroff
@@lorishehow7281 Contact them directly and ask them because I thought I remembered seeing a p d f file somewhere that had a whole bunch of different scenarios in it
Finally got mine installed; a couple of quick notes worth mentioning while I'm here. First, this thing is flimsy as heck. I broke not one but TWO of the plastic terminal housing just pushing the wires in, incredible. I was half tempted to simply send it back right then and there, but figured I'd push ahead and see if I could get it powered up and working despite not having confidence that the wires were securely snug but it appears to be up and working thus far. Second, it seems you MUST set the schedule and edit the schedule via the touch panel on the front of the device - I see no way to edit or change the schedule once you've logged in to your account on the web through that interface.
*Edit - I had previously said you were required to toggle the device from heat to AC manually, but this is not true; you can set it to go between both as needed automatically, which is nice. For the price, as long as you can keep from breaking the terminal housing with the wires, it's actually a nice little thermostat.
Good info be sure to use the app on your phone or iPad to control all settings
So you're telling me if I buy this expensive thermostat I still have to go to it and manually switch it during winter and summer months?
@@justc215 Nope, sorry for the bad info! It does indeed have the ability to go between heat and air without you having to intervene. That was my mistake, it just wasn't clear to me at the time.
@@Sudz28 Scotty! C'mon man lol
@@justc215 I know! I suck! Sorry about the fake news.
OMG! Get to it! Too looooong!
There's a lot to cover here on this, and we still get questions
Great Vid! I've been looking at all kinds of thermostats and vid installs. Been looking for the next thermostat, this might just be it.
Glad you liked it! thanks for watching Eddie
Great video Jeff. Now I know how to set it up when I put mine in this week.. thanks....
Awesome, glad to help Bill
Pretty good video, but only showed a 4 wire system, which did not help me, and did not like interrupting the video for commercials.
Great video with very important information. I wish you'd went through some of the features of the thermostat either in this video or in another video. Otherwise, great job!
I did go through many of the features near the end, but also have to keep it short.
I like this model but I noticed my old thermostat (an old Honeywell as well) is missing that C wire and I was disappointed because it's going to be a hassle on the installation.
You said it had no batteries, but description says it has two batteries (for backup when power fails to C-wire transformer). Can you clarify?
Can you create the schedule in the app on the iPad or phone?
I'm changing from a 2-year old Honeywell, so I'm lucky enough to already have five wires for an easy switchover...IF my blasted electrician had labelled my panel so that I could know if I've shut the power off to the unit. Because mine is on battery, I can't tell if I've turned the right switch off or not? Thanks for the helpful video once I get that part figured out. :)
Glad to help!
@@jeffostroff Hilariously (and perhaps dangerously?), I thought I'd turned the right fuse off. To test, I dropped the temp on the thermostat to see if the air would come on...it didn't, so I went ahead and installed the new one. As soon as I popped the thermostat on, though, it powered up. I thought it wouldn't power on until I went back to the panel to turn it back on? I know it's got the C-wire for power, but wouldn't that have been off? Or am I just lucky that I didn't shock myself? :)
Installed successfully, thanks for the video!
Great to hear!
what happens if you have a blue common wire but itâs not connected at the air-conditioning unit? it comes out the other end loose and coiled around another wire.
Very good. I will go ahead and buy the same one today.
Great video and crystal clear but I'm still having problems. Had basic honeywell thermostat before and switching to this one. I have a 5 wire system white/ w green/g yellow/y my blue was going to Rc and red to Rh on old unit. New one is not powering on. Would the blue go to the c (common?)connection instead of rc? I would greatly appreciate some help it's getting cold in here and I'm in Michigan! Lolđ„¶
Usually the blue liner goes to C but you can't always guarantee that so you really need to find out where the 5 wires go to on the air conditioner itself
@jeffostroff thank you man I really appreciate the quick reply. I just put the old one back in for now until I figure this out.
How do I add a wireless indoor sensor C7189R to my THYX9421R smart thermostat?
Thx for the video showing all detail steps to install the device. I just checked my old Honeywell thermostat and found one of the wire is connected to RC, with what I think is a jumper, a kind of U shape little metal hook, connecting the RC and R.
Can I ask you how to change this set of wire into the new WiFi thermostat? Do I do the same like the old setting? Connect the wire to RC, with the U shape jumper hooking the RC and R?
Thx very much đđ»
For most common systems, the default configuration at the factory on the thermostat is to jumper the Rc to the Rh. This is because most systems have only one red wire coming out of the wall going to "R". So they both get jumpered together for single control. If you have 2 lines coming out of the wall that are red, chances are one goes to RC, the other goes to Rh, and you must remove the jumper. Which do you have?
@@jeffostroff thx very much for your reply. I am using Honeywell RTH221B (battery needed), and I found only 4 wires coming out from wall (so, no wire for "C"). 3 wires going to "GYW", and one going to "RC", a jumper connecting "RC" and "R" together.
Therefore I believe I need to figure out how to provide power to the thermostat if want the one you mentioned in the video...
@@leochh We had to do the same thing on this install. What I had to do was inside the air conditioning unit I found a 24 Volt signal that I was able to use for my C line and Wren dad to the sea line. But by doing that I lose the ability to ever run my air conditioner in fan only mode which is no big deal because I only use it in AC mode cooling mode, or in heat mode I never operated with just a fan only so that was no big loss for me.
@@jeffostroff thx for your advice, let me try this out~ :D
What type of table is that in the beginning?? The black one outside
I added this device to my app. Iâm located in Toronto but itâs giving me the outdoor temp of my first device located in Florida. How can I get the thermostat to give me Toronto weather info?
Thanks! I just installed this thermostat upstairs/downstairs with your informative video. My previous Honeywell thermostat only had the R and C connected, so I connected the white and yellow wire as well. Not sure if I had to do that, but did it anyways and itâs working.
Glad it helped!
So what happens if the internet goes down? Will the programmed schedule still be followed?
Holy crap!!! 33063 is where I grew up... Margate!!!!
Yeah man!
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you knew how to set temperature limits on this. Iâm trying to make sure less energy is used in our house.
Hey Jeff thanks for the info very helpful
Do you have a video on how to wire the smart thermostat at the furnace?
Thanks
I don't sorry
Amazing tutorial!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
That HUGE square hole on wall will make thermostat to show false temperature reading (especially if you have a basement) and thermostat will "malfunction". Hole has to be covered with insulation. HVAC-R guy here.
We covered it
I have 1 heat pump with gas back up (dual fuel system? Is this compatible?
Excellent video!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
bro you saved me a thousand dollars
Cha ching! way to go!
The green wire for "fan only" can be used as a 5th wire, but then the fan is only able to run during heating and cooling, not on its own.
That is how we ran it
You answer my question, thanks.
So I can still connect â gâ wire to g . If not disconnect g from condenser as well ????
@@djb8078 G wire doesn't go to the condenser, when I say "fan" I am referring to the blower motor inside the furnace as a "fan". I replaced my 4 wire bundle with a 5, but if I didn't care about being able to cycle the "blower motor" without heating or cooling; as in just the blower pushing unconditioned, and unheated air, when the outdoor temperature is mild and not too far below room temp. There is an option on the Honeywell Unit that allows for the fan to cycle 25% on and 75% off., : 2.5 minutes out of every 10 minutes of something like that. When you reappropriate the green wire as a "C" wire you will lose this ability. Your blower will only come on during heating and cooling cycles.
Hello. Your instructions are straight to the point and very easy to follow. My problem is I have 8 wires on my old thermostat which the C wire is blue. O tool a picture but don't know what to do with all those wires.
Check on the Honeywell web site support for you thermostat, they have other wiring scenarios there
Thank you so much! Very helpful.
Does this have to be hooked to the internet for it to work
If internet goes down you can still use the thermostat on the screen, but you will have no access via the app on your phone
This thermostat has combined 'W-O/B' and 'W2-AUX/E' terminals. I have seperate W1, W2, O, E wires on my existing thermostat. How do these connect on the RTH9585WF?
W - This is the thermostat terminal for heating. This wire should go directly to the heating source whether it be a gas or oil furnace, electric furnace, or boiler. White for W Terminal.
W2 - This is the thermostat terminal used for second stage heat. There are gas furnaces with low fire and high fire and some depend on control from a two-stage heating thermostat with a W2 terminal. Heat Pumps use staging for auxiliary heat and need a W2 terminal. Brown for W2 Terminal.
O or B - These thermostat terminals are for heat pumps. The B thermostat terminal is used on for Rheem or Ruud and any manufacturer that energizes the reversing valve in heating mode for the heat pump. Most other manufacturers of heat pumps will utilize the reversing valve for cooling and the O thermostat terminal will be utilized for this purpose. This wire goes to outside heat pump condenser where the reversing valve is located. Orange for O and Dark Blue for B.(Rheem and Ruud will usually utilize the blue wire for reversing valve. If you have a Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Lennox, Ducane, Heil, Fedders, Amana, Janitrol, or any other manufacturer other than Rheem or Ruud you will be utilizing the orange wire for the reversing valve.)
E - This thermostat terminal is for heat pumps and stands for Emergency Heating. If for whatever reason the heat pump condenser fails and it is necessary to run the heat there is an option on heat pump thermostats for emergency heating. Basically this simply utilizes the back-up heat source many heat pumps have to heat the home without sending a signal to the condenser to run for heat.
This should be wired directly to the heating relay or the E terminal on a terminal strip board in the air handler or package unit if you have a heat pump package unit. There is no universal color used for this thermostat terminal designation.
This video has convinced me I do not need a WIFI thermostat.

Is reconnected the wires perfectly - AC blows heat ?
Triple checked everything
Only thing I can think of is make sure it is in cool mode, and go one by one, check the wires on your system, maybe one got crossed.
WELL DONE VIDEO ON A VERY NICE T-STAT. JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL. LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE OR YOUR VIDEOS. CHEERS!
Thanks and welcome
I know they make most gadgets which âspeaksâ and recognizes human voice for blind or low vision thermostat? I ask for help to set preset how hot or cold can be done on and at one time of day to cool or heat. Some manufacturer MUST make a talking thermostat.
Very helpful but on my old one I also have an orange and blue wire. How do I hook them up? I have a total 8 wires to include the c wire.
I'm not sure, I rarely go by colors, since they can be hooked up all different ways. I go by the wiring diagram on the panel of the air handler to tell me what the wire colors mean mean.
Also it helps see how your kids are spending your money when you are not home !
good tip!
Usually just the batteries for a back up, that usually doesnât run the system
I need help. I just installed this and my old thermostat had the R with a jumper to RC. I plugged the new one up with everything in the same location even the R in the R location. After everything was done and set up I turned power on everything worked but when I turned the A/C also known as Cool the heater came on. Any help on why the heater keeps coming on when I have it on cool? I have 5 wires G,W,C,R,Y. They were all connected to the same spots as my old one. Iâm thinking maybe it has to do with the R? Iâm electric as well please anyone help
my thermostat has 5wires, red to RH, white to o/b, Y to yellow, G to green and C to blue wire, do i swap the G green wire & connect it to the C and the blue wire to G? and do i connect the red wire to RC or R on the honeywell thermostat? any assistance is appreciated, thank you!
I'm not sure what you were talking about swapping wires if you already had five wires before you hook them up to the exact same connections on the new Honeywell thermostat there is no reason to change anything
@@jeffostroff like you said . take a photo with your phone and use the wire label stickers and label them one by one..!
Very well made!
Thank you! Cheers!
