This was by far the best vid. on how to test and replace a thermostat! o bullshit, no technical dialog, just easy to understand instructions! Made my day!!Why does everyone want to drone on and on with useless rhetoric that 9/10sof us do not understand.

watched your video. Mom was surprised I changed the thermostat. She said the one we have was the original one that was with the house when she bought it in 1955. Went to save money. Thanks for this easy video.

At 5:26, it says we should jumper Yellow and White for a heat pump, which is wrong (for any thermostat). I'm no HVAC expert, but I have a single-stage heat pump with AUX/E heat. My wires are R, G, Y, W, O, B (red, green, yellow, white, orange, black), where R=power, G=fan, Y=compressor, W=aux heat, O=reverse(cool), B=common/neutral. Red is always 27 Vac, Black is always 0 Vac. If I jumpered Yellow and White, AUX/E heat would ALWAYS turn ON whenever the compressor runs, which is wrong. It would be wastefully expensive during heating and simply ridiculous during cooling (because AUX/E heat would ALWAYS run during cooling). Also, it would energize the compressor during "emergency heat" mode, which is wrong. My thermostat energizes the Yellow and White wires independently, as needed. It's the thermostat's job to figure out how to energize the wires. IMHO, physical jumpers should rarely (if ever) be needed because they override thermostat's outputs.

My wires are energized (to 27 Vac) as follows:
R, G : Fan Only mode,
R, G, Y : Heating mode,
R, G, Y, O : Cooling mode,
R, G, Y, W : Heating + Aux Heat mode.
R, G, W : Emergency Heat mode.

Don't you have program it after installing it? like holding up and down for 3 seconds and set it up with the manual?

[firegalk]

Does this mean we do not need to turn off the power first, to change the thermostat which has the same 4 wires as the one you're working on? thanks

[abdulkareemalidani]

thanks....so is tune off power to installed ..

I could tell my programmable thermostat (Honeywell Beutler 800) had gone bad because the display shows nothing but it is able to manually turn on the heater when switched to heat mode ON.

I like the 1st tip about combining the red, green, and yellow wires to turn it on manually.

Thanks for this helped me but my green is blue. I watched this and was able to hook my new one up my self

[Rich-kmbi]

when I hook the green, red, yellow together it blows the fuse to transformer? does that mean something is shorting?

[flagstoneave]

so my does not has a green wire (fan) connected and they want to charge me $80..I say to myself, youtube it..and you saved me $80..thanks

[MrRene]

where is the brown wire for common? you only placed one power wire (R)

[aircooledtx]

I always tape the hole were wires come/out; to keep hot air in wall effecting the temperature.
