How Heating Thermostat Works

[@maxguo5815]

Very useful video. It does explain how the thermostat works. It has saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks so much.

[@kylehansen3333]

Only video I could find on the workings of these thermostats. Very useful!

[@samlonzo70]

Thank you thank you thank you. 🌺 Because of this video I know why my garage furnace was not working. I cleaned the thermostat and it’s now working. Your video saved me hundreds of dollars to bring a mechanic to inspect and repair 🙏

[@swhitson9633]

You're a great teacher. Thanks for making this!

[@egalloway8195]

I was chilling at home--both thermostats broken at the same time! This video was SO clear, straightforward and educational. I put the red and the white wires together and like MAGIC! I have HEAT!! Thank you thank you thank you from MS. (yes, I know--we get cold here, thin skin :)

[@gritskennedy5007]

Did you turn your power off first?

[@southeast_9072]

What’s the name of the amazing thermostat form the 1950s? Also great video !!

[@s.l.4772]

Thanks man, great video

[@ktown619]

Good explanation of thermostats. Why does my new thermostat turn on heat Immediately when wire attached? Will not stop after ambient reaching temperature. Thank you

[@worldofwaterheaters9535]

sounds like the thermostat has a problem. it should turn off when it reaches the set point.

[@jesuslovesjudy]

Dad has a GE thermostat from the 1960's. Is it possible to adjust it? The heat always has run 5 degrees colder than whatever it's set for. Also, what does turning the screw on the inside do? Any advice appreciated!

[@chrisiden1]

Very helpful info. Thank you

I have a Thermostat like the last one you showed. It is identical on the outside, but the inside looks a bit different its a General Control T 70. It doesn't have that little metal disk/circle you point out. This one is still working, hit or miss though. I'm not sure how it works as it doesn't have mercury in it either. I can send you a picture if you are interested in seeing it and able to tell me how it works.

[@jsandiego2394]

This entire video and the guy never even mentions "Mercury". Mercury is the liquid metal that are inside these old clackers. .. 🤷‍♂️

[@amightysailingman]

So at 5:30, you say we can just short the wires together. Which makes sense, as the mercury switch just makes or breaks the circuit. But why does every single website keep insisting we must shut off power to the furnace before working on these 24v two-wire thermostats? The dead short isn't going to hurt the zone valve.

[@worldofwaterheaters9535]

you turn off the power when there is electricity involves but with the standard gas gravity type furnace there are no fans so no electricity

[@tegowalker4399]

Do I have to turn off the breaker to install it

[@jones1351]

If all it takes are a temperature sensitive coils, why was mercury used?

[@nexx1]

If I have one that has no off how do I turn off the heat if I turn it up all they way and back again it clicks. I think this sets my default heat ? When I turn it to the lowest level my baseboard buzzes. Help!!

[@worldofwaterheaters9535]

what do you mean by your ‘baseboard’? You probably need to replace your thermostat

[@nexx1]

@@worldofwaterheaters9535 it’s a pipe that has hot water in it. It vibrates and hums. You can hear it in the wall too. If I turn on the heat I can hear the water flow through and it stops. Then I turn it off it starts again after like 30 mins.

[@Rashed2030]

Iam from saudi and we have acity build by us all house all material since 35 years and i have analog thermostat it is the third one you explain it have two deals the site temperature which i have to move by hand how i will adjust to 24 cc 75 f it have thick red rod indicter so i measure at the first edge or the last edge of the red rod i have expensive bell

[@joshherron7]

whats the slider do inside.

[@joshherron7]

this is my one and only question I can't find an answer. im just curious.

[@Raiders4LF]

What if both wires are black, does it matter which wire is connected to what side?

[@worldofwaterheaters9535]

no. if just two wires

[@manuelangelhuamani]

this is why I have digital thermostat in my house.....

[@TheEvade84]

yeah that's fine just remember some, well my boiler these red and white wires are mains voltage 250V

[@Herbie11]

I turn off all power to my house, but the thermostat still turns on my heater. How does that happen?

[@brad300ZXS16]

More than likely your air/heat unit isn't tied in with your main breaker box to your house. There should be a box close to you power meter that has a few breakers and a main power switch. Ours is like that.

[@shawnhollywood3707]

Get to the point!

[@yasamanshakiba6218]

I'm here cause its a SAUNA in my apartment. How do I turn this thing off!

[@Dougalthepit]

Don't bother with those ridiculous Nest thermostats.

[@andrewbethea327]

Trust me, I won’t.

[@jaimetarango7423]

i know i don't like those digital ones i like the old mechanical ones

[@fordhibbz420]

Zero help at all
