Honeywell thermostat battery replacement if thermostat doesn't work AC won't turn on

[@londonpoodle88]

I googled how to change my thermostat, yours was the first video that popped up. It didn't take all of 2 mins to do. Video was clear and helpful and now my heat is back on. Thank you!

[@Your-Self]

Great to hear it, and thanks for watching!

[@eddyvideostar]

@@Your-Self: You could have slowed down with the battery replacement -- how they would fit in.

[@TheNicB]

THANK YOU for this video! It's New Year's Day, I'm a single mom, and we've got tons of snow, and freezing temps, and I thought our system was broken. Found your video -- changed the batteries -- and we're back in business. You just saved me hundreds on a holiday, emergency visit. Again: THANK YOU!!! 💞

[@Your-Self]

Glad it was helpful!

[@m.tagarelli5216]

A heating company in our area suggested I check my thermostat batteries first and your video saved me the cost of a Saturday service call because we need our furnaces in Michigan! Thanks so much!!!

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped

[@TJDawgs72]

I had no idea the thing even took batteries up until five minutes ago… I walked by my thermostat and it was flashing low batteries at me. I was afraid I was going to rip it right off the wall until I watched your video. Thank you

[@Your-Self]

Yes, designers of these thermostats should've made it easier, and more intuitive to open and replace the batteries... Thanks for watching!

[@Rathmullan]

Thank You! I was afraid of damaging the thermostat or pulling the plate off the wall. But Your video was excellent and showed exactly how to grip the removable piece and not to be be shy! Thanks again! Regards Greg

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!

[@barbtanner5698]

thank you for your excellent instructions. who knew how simple this could be? saved me a costly and unnecessary call to my HVAC company. took less than 3 minutes to replace the batteries.

[@Your-Self]

Yes, these thermostats are not very intuitive for changing batteries. But once you know how, it's pretty easy. Thanks for watching!

[@BJ-zv5nl]

Nice job. I got one of these at my rental. I couldn't figure how to open it up to replace the battery! Your video was a life saver!

[@Your-Self]

I'm glad you found it helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@CactusBerto]

Same I’m so glad this video was made

[@bestbudsourchannel4807]

Thank you, sir! I miss the days it was just a darn dial and you turned it where you wanted it, but having your video is the next best thing!

[@Your-Self]

Right on!

[@leohodappsr.6592]

My 74 year old wife used your advice and changed the batteries in our thermostat. That saved us about 80 dollars. Another KZbin fix!

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear!

[@patriciacarranza5863]

Oh man, I didn't even see my thermostat blinking it was just blank. I'm so glad you shared this video. I recently, well almost a year ago bought a house, and I've found I have to do a lot more now that I own a house. This video really helped me. Thanks again!

[@Your-Self]

LOL. Owning a home could be a challenge, but with video-help, you can do most chores easily yourself. Thanks for watching.

[@smoke126857]

Really makes it easy when you watch a video first. I was fiddling with a Honeywell that needed the batteries replaced and stopped because I didn't know what I was doing. This video made it super easy.

[@Your-Self]

Glad you found it helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@jmurray2649]

Thanks so much!! My thermostat is the second one you demonstrated and explained so helpfully with great detail. I watched it twice, took notes, and it was easy to do, and you saved me a service call and a new thermo.

[@Your-Self]

I'm glad you found this video helpful and fixed it yourself!

[@PhongNguyen-cg8wg]

Which direction do the batteries face? -+-+, or -++-, or +-+?

[@taj6048]

I can’t thank you enough !!!! I was suffering freezing & maintenance in my apartment building talking bout we will be there tomorrow.Which isn’t a long time but I can’t suffer another night I already caught a nasty cold.

[@Your-Self]

Glad the video helped!

[@carolineonline2112]

Thank God for this video! Mine stopped and I had no idea how to open it. My thermostat is the second one in the video. After watching I was able to remove the faceplate and replace the batteries. Thank you! I live in Florida and it’s hot. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. You saved me!

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!

[@melissaj6786]

Thank you so much!! I had this same model, and had spent several days trying to figure out how to take the cover off. I just watched the video, and it took me about 30 seconds and it's fixed. Very much appreciated.

[@thom7ad]

Thank you so much!!!! It’s a Sunday morning in my apartment, and maintenance which normally changes the batteries isn’t available until Monday. Changed it in under 2 mins!

[@Your-Self]

Wonderful!

[@gingerspanos5686]

Well I have to give credit where credit is due. Thank you for helping me figure out how to open up to change the batteries. It was an excellent video! I changed out the batteries and changed it back from off to cool and my units started again and I said thank the Lord someone took the time to help me figure this out. As a female I feel empowered without having to call someone. I find myself you tubing everything!

[@Your-Self]

I'm glad you found this video helpful and thanks for watching!

[@priscillabreed3632]

A big thank you. Your verbal instructions and the visuals were perfect and easy to follow. I have the 2nd styled thermostat and it was very helpful to know that pulling the faceplate off might be a bit difficult. It was..but, end result was..I was successful.

Thank you for posting this video! I've been trying for two days to get maintenance to come out and change the battery so I can have AC and it's 92°, in my apartment. I really appreciate you making such a great video, thank you!

[@Your-Self]

[@eg4950]

I'm super relieved they only required AAs and not some kind of special battery. Thanks for the video!

Great point! In a pinch, you can borrow AAs from your TV remote! Thanks for watching.

[@hassanmohamud3096]

Thank you very much. My house got very hot and I couldn’t get maintenance to help me today. Didn’t know what was wrong but I saw “lo batt” so I just typed that in and saw your video. Now I can do it on my own from now on. And my house feels a lot better😂

[@Your-Self]

Glad you found it helpful and fixed the thermostat yourself!

[@PinkMilkJug]

Thank you! Very helpful. Was worried I would break it so your video really helped. My screen was blank and it went to normal after replacing the batteries.

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped!

[@JacieLeavell]

Thank you!! Yours is the only video that actually helped me!! I started your video, paused it, went and changed the batteries and came back here to comment. I have cussed in google searches, turned the ac off an then back on because I thought it was freezing up...and ate many, many chocolate chip cookies out of despair over the last few days. This is actually a brand new unit and new thermostat only put in last August and who knew...pffft...just the batteries...whew, thank God!!! The one thing I never tried was pulling the thermostat straight out and that is what did it...YAY! Thumbs up!!

[@Your-Self]

LOL, I love chocolate chip cookies also! Glad you fixed it yourself, and thanks for watching.

[@riod7559]

Thank You! At first it didnt come back on after i replaced the batteries. I took the cover back off and also slid the Gas/Electric/Heat pump switch to the right and back to the left (*original setting) and the A/C came back on! Thanks for saving me from an uncomfortable nights sleep!!

Thank you ❤. I couldn't get my plate off & was scared to pull in case i was wrong aboutvut pulling straight off but thankfully after watching the first half(my model) I was able to determine I was right & just needed to pull harder😁.

[@johnf153]

Very clear explanation. I would suggest adding that the front piece can be separated from the back piece more easily and safely by using a knife to pry the front piece from the back piece without pulling out the back piece with the front.

AC wasn’t turning on during a killer heatwave. Have a very similar model. Has a little flap at the bottom though for easy access just to get to the batteries. I hope that’s all that’s up because heatwave sucks! This video is awesome! Wouldn’t have thought to get new batteries.

Once again, thank you for this and be safe in 2022.

The second model was the same/similar to what I have in my apartment. The component was no longer correctly displaying the current temperature or the clock/schedule settings. I popped the unit off and interestingly, there were no batteries. Strange that the clock settings ever worked before. Anyway, all fixed - thanks for the demo.

EXCELLENT!!! I only watched the video up to 1:28, but that is all that I needed to watch for my style of thermostat. You even told me what size battery to use. You sir, are getting a solid thumbs up from me! I guess the 79 thumbs down comes from people who wanted you to actually come out to their house and change the battery for them. Oh well, can't please everyone.

[@Your-Self]

LOL, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@noel888]

Maybe if you read your instructions you might know what to do if and when battery goes.

[@williamcattr267]

@@noel888 Good advice, but....nah. If we all did that, then nobody would bother to watch the video. It's not like we tuned in to watch it like it is the NFL playoffs, or the World Cup or something... In any event, I am glad you chimed in with this great advice, ohhhhh nearly 3 years after the fact! lol. So, yes. This is probably the order to follow with product questions: 1. Read the instruction manuel. 2. Watch this video 3. Listen to "timely advice" from Anthony. Timely advice, Anthony. Yes, timely advice indeed.
