Basic Thermostat Replacement Guide
1-800-Plumber +Air of Shelton County
Of all the devices you have in your home, the humble thermostat has more potential to save or cost you serious money than almost anything else in your home. A properly set up thermostat can keep your home comfortable and save you money or cost you way more than it should and even shorten the life of critical infrastructure like your HVAC unit.
If you suspect your thermostat is behaving erratically or your temperatures won't stay where you want them, it could be time to replace it. Since a thermostat is a relatively simple device, many DIY fans can take on this task and get your home's heating and cooling back in line.

Placing your New Thermostat
Your new thermostat should come with stickers. Place the stickers onto the wires. You can reference the old thermostat's wiring and check your new manual. You'll then need to loosen the terminal screws.
Place the new base over the wires and make sure it's level.
Next, drill the holes making sure to follow the directions in the manual. Place the plastic inserts into your wall.
You can then use a combination stripper to trim the wires if necessary.
Once it's connected you can activate the power back on.
Checking the Functionality
As soon as you've figured out just how to change out your old analog thermostat with a digital thermostat, you're practically prepared to go. But first, let's check to make sure it is working properly.
You can set the thermostat to your furnace. The AC will come at a different time. Let them have 5 minutes to activate. If it's not working correctly take a look at what you did and make sure no steps were missed.
At times, you may need to reset the thermostat. You should find a button that allows you to reset it.
Once you check to make sure it is functioning, you'll need to program your thermostat. This is where you need to check the manual for specific instructions, depending on your new thermostat.
A programmable thermostat is your best option to save on your electricity bill.
