I have a furnance that has 2 thermostats. One is used to adjust the heat
and the other one shuts the furnance off when it reaches the programmed
temp. I installed the Honeywell digital RH6530. I ran a new wire from the
thermostat that shuts the furnance off to the new thermo and it works. My
question is, I wanna get rid of the thermo that I use to set the temp so
it’s all done from one thermostat that would be the Honeywell. How do I do
that?
Thanks, this video is exactly what I needed. Does anyone know if a “burner”
as he mentioned in the video is the same as the boiler? And can you just
turn off the furnace switch to do this, or does the power need to be out
regardless? I just had a new electrical panel put in and the switch is
labelled “Boiler” just wondering…thanks 🙂
How did it go? I’m curious.
Thanks, I just picked up my Honeywell thermostat at Home Depo. I asked
three guys in the elec dep. They all did not know anything. I was told to
just try it and bring it back if it dose not work. So like I always do I go
to You Tube and find you after a search only finding 5 wire videos. Simple
will install tomorrow after I climb under the house and make sure the
heater ducks are still attached. Ugh Its all in a days work. Thank you
You have to use all 3 wires. I don’t think I can explain it in 500
characters or less. The wires should be color coded. If not, looked at
where it was connected on the old thermostat & labeled the wires using the
stickers that came with the new one. See if the new thermostat supports the
3 wires. If it doesn’t, get a thermostat that supports pumps. I know for
Honeywell they have a number in their manual you can call if you have
questions.
I have q totaline AC and I’m very happy with it
Nope. This termostat only regulates the heating.
Hi there, I am planning to do the same thing and I have a Robertshaw manual
or analog very old thermostat. I checked the back and I only have two BLACK
wires. Can I do the same thing you did? Can I just buy a digital thermostat
for 2 wires and install it? Thanks
Thank you for your great video! My fiance and I have a house with old
wiring. We were quite confused with Honeywell’s installation instructions.
We were about to give up when we logged on to YouTube and found your video
using the keyword “Replace old thermostat with digital”. We were able to
install both thermostats in about an hour-and-a-half, with neither one of
us having any electrical experience. And guess what? She installed the
first thermostat by herself! Thanks a million!!
I have three wires coming up from the basement to my old Honeywell
thermostat, I assume one is a ground but you only used two, can I leave one
wire off safely ?
This is really helpful… thanks!
@midnightjune Glad I can help. Thanks for watching.
Yeap, I bought one and installed it. It is working perfectly!!! NICE
UPGRADE Thanks for the video!!
Cool!
if you have a 5 wire line coming into the back of your thermostat, you are
wired for heating and AC . Here is what they mean R – Terminal that is
connected to a low voltage transformer for controls R is split into Rh or
Rc depending on your thermostat, these are usually jumpered together Rh
(heat) and Rc (cool) W – is energized when the controls are calling the
furnace for heat Y – is energized when the controls are calling the AC unit
for cool G – is energized when unit is calling for Fan
Cool. and thanks for watching.
Good question. I don’t know. I think those are heat pumps with battery
backups. I haven’t used those before.
Good effort but the angle sucks.
I think so. Two wires is easy and straight forward. You either close the
circuit or open the circuit.
Awesome.
Yea…you’re right….
tnx.I saved 160$ charge [parts+labor]!
you supposed to buy a millivolt thermostat for your unit, but unfortunately
not all the stores carry this type of thermostat
there really is no need for a bong (ground) in low voltage wiring, the
green is for fan control.
Where is there only 2 wires in a thermostat? Obviously there’s no need for
heating AND cooling there. Sorry, not very helpful.
how about 5 wires ?
