How to program a Honeywell Thermostat

Venmo Tip Jar @AndrewDIY
This is a pretty standard process for thermostats even if they aren't the Honeywell brand.
To set the time and day:
Press "SET"
Press Up/Down arrows to set the time
Press "SET"
Press Up/Down arrows to set the day
Press "RUN" to save

To set a heating/cooling programmed schedule:
Select the SYSTEM switch to "Heat" or "Cool"
Press "SET" until the LCD display reads "Set Schedule"
Press Up/Down arrows to set the Monday - Friday wake time
Press "SET"
Press Up/Down arrows to set the Monday - Friday wake temperature
Press "SET"
Go through the whole process for the other time periods Leave, Return and Sleep and the Weekend settings. Then press "RUN"

To perform a system override:
Press Up/Down arrows to set the temperature
Press "HOLD" if you want the temperature to remain throughout all the time periods of the day or don't push "HOLD" and the temperature will reset at the next time period (leave, arrive, sleep) Push RUN to return to the regularly scheduled program.

Thats it! Good luck!

Remember the old school round ones? Turn up for heat, turn down for no heat...Those were the days.

I just moved into my first apartment today and this video was so helpful. I was stressing about how to make my thermostat work. Thanks so much kind stranger! You rock!

[sueannoakeskern]

Thank-you for making this video so easy to understand. I have lived in this house 6 years and now finally I can set it and forget it.

this is so overly complicated. thank you for this how to video. our new house has a honeywell and we've been struggling to keep the heat on, couldn't figure out why it kept going back down and we're freezing! but this should help us stay warm finally

THANK YOU! This thermostat is a perfect example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

It should be: decide your preferred temperature first and THEN if you want to program it with times etc. go on YouTube to figure it out lol

I've probably commented many years ago on this video (because it looks familiar), but I needed to reset the thermostat again and couldn't find my computer file telling me how to do it. I really appreciate the simplicity (at least for the part where you just bump the temperature button up or down and then press hold - That's all I cared about). Thank you again!!!

Very clear and helpful instructions, Andrew! I've not known how to set our thermostats until watching your video today and we have been in this new house since 2013. I agree it is very complicated and would intimidate me every time it started blinking for information I did not know how to provide. I also finally got sick of changing both thermostats upstairs and downstairs several times daily so I searched for a Honeywell Thermostat that looked liked ours and BAM! I found you! OMG, I'm so excited! Watching you do it was extremely helpful and I took notes! I did notice the thermostat showed me that I needed new batteries which was helpful, but not mentioned in your video, although quite clear on the panel.

Thank you sharing these directions they clarfied a key step for me. It's always some simple step missing when things don't work and your video is valuable.

Thanks SO MUCH for this video, my new home has this exact thermostat and I have been miserable for three days but you’ve solved my confusion!

[trentreynolds]

Thanks bud, I grew up in a house with the old school mercury switch and could not figure this new one out for the life of me, keep up the good work!

[GOBEARS]

I dont want a schedule. I just want to set the temp and leave it.

[donnafeatherston]

Thank you so much. I recently moved to a home with this & I had tried a few times to change the settings without success. This helped tremendously.

[jackieg.]

Thank you so much! It’s starting to get real cold and I’ve been fighting with my thermostat.. Now I’m toasty and warm!

[acsingleton]

This video is a I just moved into a house with this termostat and didn't have any instructions! Thank you :) :)

[mharkins]

I almost bought a new thermostat today because I thought mine wasn’t programmable. Thank you!! This helped tremendously

[JUDALATION]

[sandylee-gobin]

Yes! I hope they keep this video up forever. Just found this and was soooo helpful

Thanks! Gang; I had a "Hunter Thermostat" that I installed at my home in Kentucky. I used the automatic and when we returned from a three day weekend away in the summer the house was at 52 degrees. The unit had been running constantly for three days and there was ice on my indoor fan housing. I called Hunter and they expressed no need to reimburse me for a faulty thermostat! Now, I only use the manual settings .

[joweenie]

my family and I just moved and we have never used a thermostat, thank you for your video!
