[@robevans5222]

Excellent explanation and demonstration of the configurability of this thermostat - best I've seen. Thanks!

[@michelecirrincione6848]

THANK YOU! Heating & cooling guy came to fix the a/c since the blade fell off in the outside unit and reset my thermostat. I called today he acted like the thermostat was always set to 69 for the a/c. Told me the ll wanted it there. I said well last summer I know I could go down to 65 (not that I do) and that I live on the 3rd floor. Said he'd call the ll and see if he could "fix it" and he would be able to tell if it was set like that last year. The day I own my own house, I will never use this heating and cooling company. Don't lie to me because I'm a woman. Your video was super helpful and now my kids and I will be comfortable the rest of the summer!

[@JamesSchenck]

Thanks for the complements Michele. I remain surprised by the views and feedback this video is getting. Thermostat configuration videos are about as boring as it gets but I am glad that it is helpful for some people.

[@chadjynx-thegreenbastard876]

Thank you for the explanation you helped me reset the settings on my new thermostat. ❤

[@melissab33]

Wish you would teach resetting a honeywell 5000 thermostat

[@JamesSchenck]

I just added the PDF of the instruction manual in the description above. Page six has the details of each set up function. Menu item #1 needs to be configured to match your equipment. If you get cooling in the heating mode and cooling in the heating mode you should switch item #2 from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1.

[@joyously777]

Thanks SOOOO MUCH! LOVED the training. we were freezing my family out. saved us big bucks not having to buy new stuff or hire the attic monkeys! Blessings on your excellent overview and explanations.

[@bradschenck3168]

Thanks mr.schenck from another mr.schenck never messed with programming thermostat and I couldn't figure it out thanks

[@Pinky-qs8jd]

Thank you so much I've been dying with this ac not going below 70

[@rosanapeek2510]

Thanks I was able to reset the air conditioner by pushing the bottom right button and the up bottom button at the same time, after I put on new batteries . Then I turned it on. It worked finally.

[@gibsontyjuan]

There was a lot here that I don’t understand but you certainly taught me how to bring my heater above 71 degrees in the winter, thanks!

[@HybridMoto]

Thank you! I'm visiting Canada and wanted to set my unit to Fahrenheit. Mission accomplished 😁

[@mkpshay]

Great video! It helped me figure out how to reprogram the thermostat to get the heat mode to show up. The previous owner had it set to only cool.

[@brando6319]

How do you make it to where it only has cool mode

[@gabid.560]

Thank you 👍

[@MM-nu8yg]

Finally, someone with a detail instruction video. Thank you so much!

[@gshandro3387]

Excellent James!! Thank you so much. Best video on Celsius to Fahrenheit!

[@Blakmajik78]

Your video was super helpful man. I have a townhouse and always wondered what the numbers int he settings were. Glad I found this video!

[@kevinmorales8094]

I stumbled across this video and I have a question. What about the menu that when you press the up and down buttons? What does it do? Please let me know!

[@HsingSun]

Thank you for your video. My thermostat system is keep running (only I wanted to turn off) when both setting and inside temperatures are matched. I put a jumper between R & G wires, the fan did not kick in/turned on, the thermostat is good then. What else is caused the system keep running?

[@ronchilds7361]

My inside temperature is just showing two flat lines,can you tell me how to get it working, my ac just randomly works,mostly at night, off during the day

[@bettydavis7904]

Awesome! Thank you so very much😊

[@BoomBox02]

Great video. I have a Bonaire B320i internal gas ducted heater (heat only) and recently got the Focus pro 5000 hooked up as the original thermostat did not display the correct temperature. The first setting on the Focus pro 5000 is set at the default 0 - 1 heat/1 cool conventional. Should i change this setting to 2 - Heat only or 3 - Heat only with fan? All is running ok after i skip cooling and enter heat when i turn it on, but after seeing your video i am wondering if i need to change this setting??

[@MichaelJones-zn7gt]

What if the temperature is dropping below what you have it set on

[@emilycollins6101]

Is there a way to change when the system kicks on? The system kicks on with the slightest degree change (less than a degree). Is there a way to change it so that it takes a full degree change for the system to activate?

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

Agree completely, Honeywell t-stats are huge energy wasters for this very reason. They could've made the temp hysteresis adjustable but chose not to. Honeywell global warming hoax t-stats.

[@tserevenad]

will this set up "programming" b lost if there is a power outage and there are no batteries installed? I am trying to figure out why/if batteries would be used if the system has 24v with a "C" common wired. thanks.

[@calebmcauley9220]

This was VERY helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAvada32002]

I adjusted my cooling and now my heat kicks in when I set to cool. Any help?

[@samd9545]

I set my thermostat to heat only and the lower left block (where yours says fan) says "light". How do I change that?

[@shanaehull691]

I need help. My heat only blows in emergency heat mode only. I can I change it to regular heat. Doesn't emergency heat make your bill higher.

[@JamesSchenck]

Shanae, Yes the bill is higher if the equipment is running on emergency heat. It is the same as using electric baseboard heat or an electric furnace. With a heat pump, the t-stat should be configured so that it energizes Y1 first (first stage compressor) then Y2 (second stage if your equipment has it) then W / Aux (This is the strip heat element). So essentially you need to find out if your unit is 3 heat / 2 cool, or 2 heat 1 cool and configure the stat to match. The video shows where the menu items are configured in the setup. Hope that helps.

[@lenalena2640]

Shanae Hull i love you so much

[@xIIsTReeTIIx]

With mines it’s not lighting up green anymore and it doesn’t read what the temperature is in the house. It does show throw the numbers on the right and won’t turn furnace on. Is there a way to reset it?

[@simonsez3807]

Very detailed and informative video. Thank you!

[@animalbeast6564]

Where can I find the paper instructions i got some small differences like instead od 7 it’s 6 and ect.

[@capric0rpse]

Same

[@andrescampbell6438]

Very good, although I must have an older version; so it has very few options. Actually I had to press both arrows at the same time to access the configuration menu, but it seems changing to Centigrade is none of them.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Is this considered "non programmable" for THESE steps or if you want to program it for future times???? Mine is not reading temp correctly.

[@gshandro3387]

Best video on this Honeywell 5000

[@nicolejackson9824]

mine goes in increments of 10 to 70. how would it work?

[@ssstefanooo]

Hey James! Good job for your videos I'm electrician and I change my broken thermostat for this model I have a thermopump. I don't know what happend but since I changed the thermostat the cycle is weird. As soon as it reaches the temperature that it's demand it cut the whole unit outside, it dosent let it finish is cycle. It wasent like that before. Any idea? Let me know thanks James

[@marillab7805]

Is it possible to calibrate this thermostat?

[@yakopsiu1569]

i need help, my air only blows heat and when i turn it off won't stop .

[@switcheffect]

new furnace and new thermostate in my double wide and when i went to check the cycle setting there is no 7 option

[@treyjoiner7950]

Thank you for this video...you are awesome

[@magman48]

When I put my thermostat to em heat the fan will run all the time below like 15 to 20 degree's outside. Above that it runs normal with the fan coming on when the heat comes on. Is there a way to change this? I was told that maybe the thermostat was set up for a different region of the US. I live in the northeast,

[@robertglasser645]

Can anyone tell me why I can't get to the 26 Auxiliary heat setting on my TH5220D1003 T stat???? When I go into the program it skips over that setting. I am thinking that is why my electric bill is so hi with a brand new HVAC system. Please let me know ASAP PLEASE.

[@khalidcssc]

i Have one question how we can lock & unlock TH5000 series thermostat display ????

[@marykitchen5209]

My setting is 1,3 does not have no 2

[@deangelowilliams6942]

So what happens if it's blowing out hot air

[@peterpenelope2387]

It's 95 degrees in here how the hell do I turn it down

[@hvacguy9162]

So I have an oil burner with an air conditioner, my question is does my air conditioner have internal compressor protection?

[@brittanygorka8793]

i need help! im trying to fix my a.c. our thermostat was messed up so we bought another one and it only blows hot air! i have 5 month old and a 2 yr old and live in HOT florida. idk how to do what you are showing in this video. i mean i can access those options but like my number 1 only goes up to 8

[@danwalter1939]

Good video. My Focus Pro Th5000 has its "9" set to 3 but I get a whole lot more compressor starts than that. Would going to 1 or 2 reduce the number of compressor starts?

[@ravishinghunk2671]

I would love to know the answer to your question. Mine is doing the exact same thing with "9" being set on 3..

[@helenbernal2406]

I cant access the configuration menu! Help

[@b_flannz_]

will the g terminal stay energized if you leave your fan on?

[@JamesSchenck]

Yes... or vise-versa.... if the g terminal is energized the fan will be running.

[@b_flannz_]

ok because i have an oil burner and when the compressor for cooling turns off the fan speed slows down how come that happens?

[@b_flannz_]

same for heating too

[@JamesSchenck]

The G terminal is often 50% fan speed.

[@b_flannz_]

ok thx

[@edgar20109]

thanks for teaching!!!

[@joeyc1369]

My thermostat is set to cool but after about three minutes of cold air it switches to heat with the setting on the thermostat still reading that it is in the cool mode, should I just buy a new one same model and install it on the existing panel or should my ac/heater be checked?

[@JamesSchenck]

I would have the system checked before I just replaced the t-stat.

[@joeyc1369]

Thank you for your advice I will be having a tech look at it.

[@bobbyb3535]

Yeah,about a 100 bucks,right...

[@charlesmiller5078]

I have a Bryant 4 ton package unit, also a Honeywell pro5000 stat, My system cycles or comes on many times per hour, So If I set Stage 1 compressor cycle rate to lets say 3, it will only be able to come on 3 times per hour, no matter what the temp, Right or Wrong. I dont use the heat at all, maybe 1 or 2 days per year. The way its been working is if I set it to 78 deg, it comes on at 79 deg, goes off at 78 Deg, afraid Im going to wear out my system, So is program Number 9 the key ? Thanks

[@ravishinghunk2671]

I would like the answer to this question too.. I have the EXACT same problem! Let me know what you find out please?

[@bentouta5]

How would I find out how many watts this thermostat outputs? I'm trying to calculate my heating cost for the coming winter.

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

bentouta5 The thermostat is essentially a temperature-activated switch; as such, it doesn't output any watts of its own. You would need to determine the cost of running your heating (for winter) and cooling (for summer) equipment. That type of calculation is performed by a heating/cooling specialist (also know as HVAC), and involves factors well beyond a do-it-yourself project level to be even remotely accurate.

[@ramoniabrown4594]

my system is stuck on 10 and 0...I pushed buttons and it won't change...I don't know what to do

[@IAMOZZ021173]

i also have R wire and W wire hooked up its cold here need heat.

[@plidder]

Hi James, I would like some help re-setting my Honeywell Th5220D thermostat. The numbers on your thermostat are different from mine. My numbers are 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 27, 28. The numbers on your thermostat in your video are 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 26. It makes no sense as to why the difference. Any ideas on setting mine up? Thanks, Doug

[@JamesSchenck]

Hi Doug, Here is another PDF of an install manual which may help you. customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-2698EFS.pdf The shaded areas show menu items that are only applicable to some of the models. I would suspect that the #'s that do match up between the model I used in the video and yours would reference the same things but hopefully by cross referencing a few different set up manuals you can confirm that.

[@FunInVa]

Awesome video, thanks so much for posting this!

[@jessmdevans]

i hate my 2 stage cooling. on very hot days, a few weeks out of the year in the deep south, i set my tstst on 74 cooling it will run for hours on 1st stage and never get below 74.5, the 1st stage does not have enough BTU's to bring it down to satisfy, its the same if i set it on 75, it will stay on 75.5. we got plenty of heat pump. 5 ton for 2600 sq ft(new home with largest r-factor possible), but no matter what temp i set it on(besides 77 and above)the 1st stage will stay running all day. im looking at this tstat and i read there is a comfort over economy setting, that will force 2nd stage when you want. the tstat i have now is supposed to force 2nd stage after a user programmed setting, (10,15,20 min), but once it gets withing 1/2 degree, 2nd stage will never come on no matter what....wish i would have got a single stage now, i really do, i was trying to save on electric but ended up increasing my bill about 25-30%. so im looking at this tstat and im wanting to know can you force 2nd stage on by using the comfort setting? even when its within 1/2 degree? let me know

[@JamesSchenck]

I don't know if the comfort setting would make 2nd stage come on sooner but if it didn't I'd just move the second stage wire (Y2) to the first stage terminal (Y1). (And keep the first stage wire there so you got both wires in the same Y1 terminal) Then you'd essentially have a single stage stat.

[@jessmdevans]

is there some way to turn a 2 stage into a 1 stage? i tried to move the Y2 to Y1, even jumped them together, somehow it doesnt work like that. i havent checked that out fully, and dont understand why it didnt work. im thinking along the lines of buying a board for the exact unit but with single stage compressor, then permanently energizing the 2 stage switch on the compressor, then trying to stick the EEM fan motor on the high setting. without the 2 stage board, it wont call for the other stage, and wont increase or decrease fan speed, if i leave the board, it will obviously keep trying to change stages, internally, fan/compressor. im all ears for suggestions. but the goal is to convert a 2 stage compressor, into a single stage. any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if involves NOT changing the board

[@JamesSchenck]

Jess, I would go back to your first attempt of moving the Y2 wire to the Y1 terminal and use a multi-meter to check for and verify there is a call. If there is a call, and if both the Y1 and Y2 wires are securely landed then it should go straight to second stage on any call.

[@jamesholmes5441]

make sure you turn your ac breaking on and off after doing this, the heat sound come right on.

[@kickazz9473]

I just want to hange how often my air kicks on every hour. 74 is to hot 73 freezes me to death. I was told you can change how many times it kicks one in an hour. can someone help me with that?

[@louisia9128]

I'm having an issue with our thermostat. The setting seems to be stuck on 50 degrees and I can change the temperature by holding the up button but once a I take my finger off of it, it goes right back down to 50 degrees. Do you know why it would do this?

[@JamesSchenck]

Louisia, I have not experienced that before. Sorry I was not more helpful.

[@bobbyb3535]

My question is that why my room temp goes higher then my SET temp. I got the same thermostat. AC company want to charge a $100 to come out. Heck no.

[@marykitchen5209]

They want you to call the pro,that why there isn't any videos to help you

[@IAMOZZ021173]

what does #3 do?

[@karinafasullo9923]

Can anyone tell me why my thermostat 'setting' temperature reading is different from my 'inside' temperature reading. I want to make my apartment cooler bringing the setting down to 72, but the inside reading just stays at 76

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

Karina Fasullo First, ensure that when you adjust the set temperature to 72, you are in the "cool" mode. The display must read "cool" in the lower right section of the display. If the thermostat is in the cool mode, and you can set it to 72, but the room temperature will not actually go down to 72, your cooling system may not be able to cool your apartment to that temperature due to heat loading or equipment inneffeciency.

[@marykitchen5209]

Need to do a setting on heat

[@Pinky-qs8jd]

U tha goat

[@marykitchen5209]

None of these videos show you what the settings are supost to be

[@jessmdevans]

my white rodgers has a y2 setting, 10,15,20 minutes. but it does not work, never-ever, once it gets within a 1/2 degree of satisfaction. in august, ive seen this thing run at 75.5(tstat set on 75) for 8 hours solid. i would never ever use another 2 stage, i mean if somebody gave me a new one i wouldnt use it. if you got 54,000btus of cooling,stage 1 only is about 37-38000btu, and that dont come close to cooling a house thats 2600 sq ft. in Central alabama, one of the hottest places in the nation, in the middle of summer, you couldnt give me one because all my money would go to trying to cool it. im currently trying to figure a way to convert it to a single stage. seems you need a single stage board, because the fan ismulti-stage (EEM) then you would have to energize the 2-stage internal compressor switch(low voltage i think), so it could be done, but can it be done without a single stage board? you look like you seem to know a lot about this stuff. i do to, but, i would love a bit on input from a pro

[@jackspratt44]

No idea.. I'm not an ac guy. Will figure out something else

[@tamtamtamatim.4860]
