Thank you so much for your step by step guide. I’m 64 and have never done electrical wiring before but with your help, I figured it out. I was stumped with the R jumper until you explained it. I patched, sanded, painted, drilled, connected wires, programmed the thermostat….AND IT WORKS!!! 😊
I just wanted to comment here and say I followed the instructions verbatim and I still can’t believe I did this on my own and trust me I had no idea what I was doing before. My thermostat is working thank you so much for this video. It was pretty easy to do with your instructions and your response to my questions.
Watched your video and it helped me install my new Honeywell thermostat! Couldn't find anyone else to do it. And I'm not a handy person by any stretch. Thank you for your post. Your explanations for precise and awesome.
I attempted to do this by myself without help and it doesnt kick on my air so here I am 😂 thanks for the video!!! I see where I went wrong, I took the jumper out from r and rc. Huge help!
Thanks again for another excellent video! Getting ready to change mine & I always watch your videos before I tackle a new project! The best tutorials online!🙂
This is awesome. He produced one of the rare videos that show how to connect the wires with the super tiny screws. You may have to buy a speacl screw driver.
As far as the wallplate, you can also toenail the screws into the drywall. For those not aware, toenailing is just the carpenter's term for screwing in diagonally. I found this works better than drilling them straight into the sheetrock. Thanks, Jay!
Excellent video. Nice points on spreading the wires out and the "jumper". My thermostat was very old and it had a hard wired jumper. When I 1st looked at it, I was a bit confused but, it all made sense after watching this video. Great video. Nice job. Thanks!
Thanks for a nice clear video. If anyone had troubles while using a jeweler's screw driver, etc., those R and Rc screws are hard to turn. You will need a screwdriver with a small slotted bit, but a regular handle for leverage. I was messed up because I was using little screwdrivers to get into those little holes.
Something that really helps me get leverage when using those little screwdrivers is to put rubber gloves on. I just grab my dish gloves and it works like a charm.
Thanks for creating this video. I wasn’t exactly confident about installing a new thermostat. But I feel more comfortable now. Answer at the end for puzzle is 9 🙂
Your video is spot on! I have a 4 wire the same configuration. Although I won't buy another Honeywell because after replacing 3 of them in 12 years I've had enough. My wire configuration doesn't have a C wire so can't use a Smart Thermostat without the hassle of getting and installing an PEK extender device. I rent so that won't fly. Will just but a LUX battery operated thermostat replacement. Blue wire in my case as in yours will go to the yellow position. Thank you!
How do you like the Lux? I moved into a house with one that I have nothing but problems with it. No matter what I say the temp on over 67 the unit doesn't kick on and the house gets up to 80. If I set it on any temp lower than 66, the house drops down to 52. I'm used to Honeywell and was considering replacing it with that.
I just installed an Ecobee 4 in my home and I HIGHLY recommend it! It required a C-wire and has a handy converter if you don't have one. It would make a great video for you to install.
@@dankelley9361 ecobee makes a "power extender kit" that ranges from $12 to $25 depending on where you buy it. Here's instructions on how to install it for all you non C-wire people. The instructions show it for a Ecobee thermostat. But it can be used on other thermostats just as easily. support.ecobee.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009155051-Installing-your-ecobee-thermostat-with-the-Power-Extender-Kit-no-C-wire-
Thanks it was helpful.... I'm surprised you didn't take 10 seconds & quickly run thru the programing.... It might be easy for you but not so easy for lots of people....
Glad to hear it was helpful! I didn't go over the programming since I have a whole video dedicated to how to program a thermostat. I suppose I should have mentioned that in the video. ruclips.net/video/uun8HJhM3h4/видео.html
TIP FOR THE NOVICE: Honeywell t-stats out of the box short cycle the hell out of heating equipment. The setup instructions say reduce cycles per hour from 5 or 6 to 3 when using a condensing furnace or hot water, but really it should always be reduced. Some of the retail honeywells don't have an explicit cycles per hour setting, it's rolled into equipment type -> for that, in the settings menu, select high efficiency furnace even if yours is mid or low efficiency. This does not apply to heatpumps - there's no compressor cph setting on the retail models.
Great video, well done, reconnected some wires (green and blue) that contractor had mixed up, and gas furnace works perfectly, saved me a lot of trouble. Thx.
Thank you! My thermostat button was stuck and I couldn't get anything to work so I had to buy this since it has been pretty hot out. Since it's a holiday I was limited on what I could buy last minute and wasn't confident enough with the directions alone. My ac is adjustable again, yay!
Thanks sooo much!!!! After browsing through many videos yours is the one that had the 4 wire thing and I was finally able to do it 😬 I didn’t know where to put the blue wire 🙊🙈
Hi. Thanks so much for your help. By-the-way, I’m a retired Spanish teacher and I would like to help you in learning a new language. 1. You know more Spanish than you think you do. 99.9999% of all English words, nouns you know that end in SION (television) and those ending in TION (conservation) have the same meaning in both languages, and they are feminine gender. Ex: La television, La conservation. They have a written accent above the O. Ex: La te le vi siOn (5 Syllables La te le vi siOn ). Sorry I’m using an English keyboard. ALL words in the Spanish language are stressed on next to last syllable UNLESS they have a written accent. Ex: La mesa. The stress is on la ME sa. La ventana. La ven TA na. Words in English that end in TY (liberty) drop the Ty and sub it for TAD. Li ber TAD. The stressed vowel is the last one TAD. Same meaning and NO written accent. I cannot provide you with my email address for privacy reasons, but maybe since it’s your website you might be able to contact me so I can make your language learning a little more fun. Again, thanks for your help and time. Guillermo
Honeywell is a huge brand name such as GE and Westinghouse. For generations the consumers have been conditioned to believe those brands are the best. Back in the 50's and 60's they where top of the line products outstanding in there time. Today's technology where electronics have developed surpassing the older products consumers do not research the data for those products. I have learned the hard way because I grew up from that generation and remembered my grandfather and my father saying " Always buy this brand it's the best." Word of advice. Check the product for customer complaints and product ratings then make sure the product will preform and do what it is your wanting. Cheaper is a very good indication this product is not going to be as good as something costing a little more but will out last the cheaper product ten times over. I have dealt with sensors relays timers of all sorts of electrical and digital parts in my career which I am retiring soon. Always research check as much data you can. Sometimes you must go slow to go fast
Hi Jay, thank for your video and nicely clear and simple details, I then upgraded my thermostat from simple digital to smart WiFi honeywell. Our one has 5 wires ( C wire including) I hooked up and followed labels wire code match between those . I have no problem with heat but wonder why upstairs so hot and down stair so cold some vents no heat in which the old one does not have that problem. Can u give me a hint on that ? Thanks Jay .
My old thermostat only has two wires. A red and a white. I just bought the exact same thermostat you are installing. Can I install the new one usong the existing wires?
Hey Love ur video Quick question...my furnace turns in blows air and shuts off in like 2-3 mins before reaching the temp on thermostat and continues until it reaches temp....I changed thermostat...what can b issue???
Hello, I’m replacing my old thermostat with the rth2510b . The wiring on the back of the new thermostat is labeled B,O, G, Y , W/Aux, Not Used , R, RC. My wires out the wall are White, Yellow, Green, Red. Which would I connect to the correct place? Thank you
Blue is usually a common. You have no yellow wire so I assume it's the Blue. You have only 4 wires. What about the common which is usually blue. We don't need a "B"?
I just got the same Tstat you showed. I have a common wire from my old one so I have 5 wires total. I have a gas furnace/ac. I put the common wire in the B slot and all other wires at there spots. when I turned unit on both the AC and furnace came on. what did I miss or is it a bad tstat out of box? Thanks for the help.
Thanks for sharing this, I just replaced Google nest with the same model of Honeywell you showed as nest was giving battery discharge msg everyday. I have 4 wires Red, white, black and green, can you please help which one will go where. Thanks in advance
I have 2 red wires on my old thermostat. There is one red wire in each side of the screw on r/c. When I rewire do I put one wire on each side of the jumper?
Great video! Super ez to follow! My Thermostat also have a Y R G and W wires, but I noticed this is a C (seemingly for 24 vac common), do you know when I would need that one?
Great video.i liked your clear instructions. I have a heat pump with a fan coil and just installed the wifi Honeywell thermostat. Do I choose the option heat pump with no auxillary/emergency or heat pump with auxillary?
I find myself struggling a little bit still, as the thermostat I am replacing in my house is nearly 30 years old and contains mercury. I look forward to following this to the letter and see if I can get the new one working (this exact model).

Save the day.
Thanks for a nice clear video. If anyone had troubles while using a jeweler's screw driver, etc., those R and Rc screws are hard to turn. You will need a screwdriver with a small slotted bit, but a regular handle for leverage. I was messed up because I was using little screwdrivers to get into those little holes.
Something that really helps me get leverage when using those little screwdrivers is to put rubber gloves on. I just grab my dish gloves and it works like a charm.
You make this look so simple and yet when I first looked at all the wires I freaked out.
Thanks for creating this video. I wasn’t exactly confident about installing a new thermostat. But I feel more comfortable now.
Answer at the end for puzzle is 9 🙂
Glad to hear the video helped! 9 is correct!! Thanks for watching until the end!
