[@nz7467]

Thanks!

[@StatUpBox]

Thank you! Much Appreciated! Glad to be of help!! 😊❤ you're awesome!💪

[@robinparker23]

What a GREAT how to video. No wasteful comments, direct and to the point for steps and safety. Wish all how tos were as succinct! ❤

[@Mike-m2j]

Loved the video. He goes through every step taken with great details. And he goes slow enough to keep up with everything he says. I have just subscribed to his channel after only watching this tutorial. Well done.

[@ryanyork837]

Red is the transformer power 24 V. The white wire calls for heat. The green wire is the fan only. Yellow is typically your reversal valve on your heat pump to call for air conditioning.

[@stevenjasner1850]

If mine is heat only is it possible to have only two wires?

[@VolutedJoker]

Thank you I only have 2 wires and was wondering

[@adventuresofasinner1557]

I only have 2 wires and my new thermostat isn't kicking heat on anymore again?

[@ryanyork837]

@adventures of a sinner If it's electronic stat make sure the batteries are working.

[@adventuresofasinner1557]

It's new the landlord installed it. Think it might be pressure switch now from video's. Don't want to bother landlord unless I can't. Thank you

[@ShaneBoydCoaching]

SUPER helpful partner. Thank you! I'm replacing my NEST thermostat today with a basic Honeywell one. NEST is absolute trash. I'm glad this video showed just how easy it is to replace this things. I thought it would be more difficult. Thank you and CHEERS!!

[@Samson08140]

Excellent, straight to the point without all the excess talking.....Love your style, please do more videos....

[@StatUpBox]

thanks 👍 we put out 4 a month

[@aviation3530]

Thank you for your video, this was exactly what I needed. I replaced my thermostat immediately after watching your video and to my surprise, I did it correctly w/o screwing anything up. Thank you

[@marylaereman4981]

Thank you sooo much...I just went to Home Depot, actually got the exact replacement and followed your instructions. I have HEAT.......Not bad for a girl..

[@TheMaggiemay77]

Girls rule!

[@LtRfa39]

Excellent, thorough and non-rushed video. And it helped I bought the same exact thermostat you were using in your demonstration.

[@nlx_785]

Yes, nowadays these don't come with renting a house anymore, I can buy a new thermostat at reduced cost from them, but then I will install it, so Im prepared for this afternoon when it comes by mail.

[@Miguel-gx5tu]

Well done. Installed my thermostat immediately after watching this.

[@tdublakeo]

Such good instructions and tips, you make it look MUCH easier than I thought it would be! I could even do this myself...I won't, but now I know that it should only take my handyman 20 minutes max to get this done. Thanks! (ps I am downgrading from a programable thermostat that is impossible to read and difficult to use to the same SIMPLE to use non-programmable one you showed)

[@keitht24]

This is exactly what I can't stand about KZbin instructional videos. You look at this guy's videos, he speaks clearly, have well lit perfect viewing angles & keep short & to the point. I had to endure 3 other videos of people trying to be funny & wacky with difficult instructions & poorly lit videos. Everybody should learn from this guy.

[@MrCaribe65]

4 years later, and still helping the do-it-yourselfer. Thanks buddy.

[@StatUpBox]

❤👍😊

[@jecastek]

This guy is great, thanks for making it easy to understand and entertaining us while you do it.

[@StatUpBox]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jerseyshore5564]

Important to note. On the colors/slots on new honeywells there is no yellow wire it is now blue instead. Install the blue wire in the yellow slot when you’re updating from old to new.

[@tatyelpana]

Thank you for a very detailed, simple and straight forward video on how to replace the thermostat box!

[@Greensbororoadsideassistance]

Thank you! Yours was the only video that made sense regarding the wiring, simple and straightforward.

[@lisamanning2340]

Thank you! This single mom was able to do this by following your video!!

[@Angieb-mc5vp]

I'm up next wish me luck

[@lisamanning2340]

Angieb0228 you can do it!!

[@bringthedarth]

Thanks for the video! Success! Note that B is often on older thermostats and is the same as C on newer ones. Found the easiest way to verify was to check the colors and letters on the board of the Furnace.

[@twdjt6245]

Thanks for this video. The most important button stopped working on ours n definitely couldn’t afford an electrician to come and do this right now. You made it look n sound easy enough, so I did it myself just fine with zero previous experience with wiring.

[@Jdn555]

This is the same thermostat I just purchased. Great video! Very informative. Thank you.

[@Lenysea]

As a happily divorced woman, I thank you sir for posting this video! I followed everything step-by-step and had absolutely no problems changing my thermostat.

[@tyler238]

I’ll help you reverse that lol

[@4caz177]

Noooo video was not intended for you!!!! 😂😂 jokes

[@paulnelson5101]

LOVE your videos. I'm not that handy, but your vids really say things simply and clearly! I'm going to replace a thermostat tomorrow.

[@StatUpBox]

❤️👍😊

[@inkedshinigami]

I had no idea it was so straight forward. Thanks! I've installed ceiling fans before and this didn't seem much more complicated than that.

[@BekahBlue511]

Thank you for sharing your information. You should do more how to videos. This was one of the best how to videos I’ve seen. Your delivery was direct to the point and accurate.

[@jonesy9035]

Thank you for this! I did not know that I had to turn off the power before installing a new one! I think I’ll make my son-in-law do it for me instead lol

[@brandonzelma6515]

Glad to see all you Kings watching this easy video so we can change our thermostats and be Kings of our castles!

[@mrsrn9907]

And Queens

[@kimberlytaylor5886]

Thank you for the video. So simple and easy to follow. I’m ready to replace my old thermostat. Looks like it’s had a rough life from all the previous owners.

[@heatherlussier1559]

Thank you. I wasn't going to attempt this but you're video changed that. Thank you.

[@rjfisher7926]

Short and to the point. PERFECT!

[@alyssaysih]

Thanks for the vid! I was having a bit of trouble understanding the manual's installation instructions, but this made everything click. Now i can exist in the summer without melting to death!

[@10472bxgirl]

Just subscribed due to the simplicity of this video. The queen of the castle will try this install.

[@williamcooper5009]

Just changed my thermostat. This was REALLY helpful. Thank you for post. Oh, I eyeballed it even though I have 19 levels. Looks fine. Thanks again!

[@john_smithchiropractor3931]

very clear voice and nice to see it up-close. thanks!

[@ajbfwb]

Good vid. Did the carbon zinc batteries you installed come with the new thermostat? It'd probably be good for people to know they'd be better off using alkalines instead. Also, using a non-contact voltage tester to give them more confidence they've shut off the right breaker, is a great idea.

[@chrisvela4860]

Okay, thanks to this video, I was able to mount and wire the new Honeywell model RTH111B1042. I admit I'm nervous as I never done something like this before. Now my AC cool temperature isn't stuck on 90F⁰. I was now able to adjust it, I'm sure the old model was very old. 11 years or so. Now I will update y'all tomorrow on how it went. Thanks!

[@DD-OO]

Thank you!!! Had to change my confusing multi programmable to just plain old simple thermostat. Just changed it out now, so far so good! 🙏

[@StatUpBox]

Glad it helped!

[@chuckmarineau4684]

ROFL - His well deserved retirement. Thanks for the info sir. Much appreciated

[@johnnyharris4198]

Thank you my man so much for this video because I have a thermostat that is up-to-date but it's not working properly so I will change it out by looking at your video❤❤❤ thumbs up and I will subscribe

[@BillR1951]

Very well done and excellent explanation of the steps involved. Thanks!!!!

[@jnice_on_some_ice6878]

Thank you!. You explained everything so clearly. I feel confident tackling this myself!

[@sallyraymond8328]

Great video You forgot to tell folks to remove the build up of dust, but it was clear in the video you did clean off the dust and debris off the wires. Very informative!!! I never understood about the different colors. If yellow goes to yellow, G to green Red goes to R etc why do you need to label them> I often see the little letters included in the thermostat kits and also RC and sometimes a jump wire?? But even so your video includes a alot of the basic installation procedure.

[@Jo_So_Random]

The narration made this the best install video ever

[@melaniewallace1289]

I just paid $270 to have my thermostat replaced, and he used this exact model. I wish I’d watched your vid first! Thanks for posting.

[@fredjohnson5465]

Whoever charged you that much is a thief with a capital T! I had mine installed by a reputable company for $65.

[@coryrivett1219]

Lol

[@Dan-ez6dr]

I installed the same thermostat today with zero problems. many thanks

[@StatUpBox]

Glad it helped

[@sarahlawhorne3472]

This guy has some humor sliding in his monologue that will catch you off guard

[@jnice_on_some_ice6878]

It made me smile.

[@HotFiya05]

As a brand new home owner, I felt that. I'm trying to take on everything myself... with the assistance of KZbin of course

[@Whatevertheheck]

Haha yes!!! Loved that quote!

[@Dem0Dule]

Good video made even better by the background track.

[@r.muasher6234]

Thanks! It was my first time and this made it simple. Worked like a charm.

[@lavidaboca]

Great video. Thank you. My thermostat wiring is slightly different. I have screw slots that are labelled RH, RC, G, Y on one side and C, O, B, W on the other side of the wall plate. Yours just says R. Also, I don't have the gas/oil and heat pump option. Please help.

[@littlebitofeverything652]

Good job on everything

[@tycewashere]

Didnt realize how easy replacing my thermostat could be. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@cjmars822]

I hope it’s this easy on my stupid setup. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions

[@bbennyj]

Thank you very much. Will use this to replace my thermostat. It’s working as far as turning on but can’t adjust the heat and it’s January in the northwest suburb of Chicago (not a good time at all).

[@xtinaw23]

When he says “ been around the block a few years “ totally sounds like Cleveland from The Cleveland show . love it

[@jaleeljayowemonsta4164]

😭😭😭

[@quinnstewart9165]

Lol

[@elizabethamadormartinez9256]

This video was great! The greatest instructions, verbally and the video as well. My husband doesnt know nothing about nothing (shhh lol) so while I watched the video, i was given him step by step instructions and we got this done! Oh, i wasn't sure if to put it in oil/gas or electric (I had to google), I'm in Florida, we dont use furnaces here, so it goes on electric.

[@tomnowlin7396]

Well done Sir!

[@tjgowin7917]

Thank you. Well done, concise video. Much appreciated.

[@musiqclub9725]

Hello! I have a question: I have a mercury thermostat; the house does not have an AC unit installed yet. Would it have a similar backing/wiring???

[@niclai3779]

came to learn how to change my thermostat, stayed for the music

[@indiandoc2]

I have a regular heat pump, no electric backup. Then have supplemental gas furnace. We have to manually switch to supplemental. When it was 1st installed it had an outside thermostat that automatically switched it on. We updated the heat pump to a condensing type, it is vented to outside. Thermostat was not changed at that time. We want to change to newer thermostat. Advice, recommendations, help I’ll take whatever I can get. Thank You in advance

[@waynemcgee263]

My friend bought the same one on this video. Does it work with only a 2 wire, red, and white, wire system?

[@ManShellz234]

Thanks so much for you vid. I had no experience before I watched this and I received an emergency call at my job to replace the thermostat on the fly. The only problem I ran into was where to connect the "w1" wire when there isn't a "w1". Seems like I got it, so thanks👍👌

[@jerseyshore5564]

Yes and I noticed on newer thermostats there is no yellow wire there is a blue so basically you put the blue wire in the yellow slot

[@timobatana6705]

Does the red wire go in the R or the RC?

[@KristynLorraine]

Thank you, sir, I feel much more confident now.

[@chiefnut48]

Your vid. was great. It made it really easy. I changed mine today and also bought the same thermostat.

[@davidharris9451]

Thank you!! Your explanation is understandable for our replacement needs...

[@juelzm149]

Literally a perfect how to video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

[@christinagladwin547]

Thank you! I'm doing this now.... about how long do the wires need to be when putting them into the new thermostat? I had to strip mine because they were soldered onto the old thermostat..

[@lovingthatcomplectionalway8057]

I only have 2 wires one red and one white will it still work or do I have to purchase yellow etc

[@tombianchi4562]

What Honeywell model thermostat did you feature?

[@ThePrincessofMagic]

Thank you :) i never was taught this stuff growing up and this video helped me a lot

[@StatUpBox]

Glad I could help!

[@OGgomesy]

Awesome narrator and great video thanks for the help

[@drhashimoto5782]

what do you do when there is a cross over wire between RC RH connnector? thanks

[@serranita3058]

Is there a way to put it so is not always running? I would like to have it turning on when the house gets cold

[@madelinaramirez1255]

Thank you so much , this video helped more than the instructions in the box .

[@maryburford380]

You are awesome, thank you. I'm fixing to put one in exactly like the one you installed! I can do it with what you just showed me👍

[@StatUpBox]

Glad I could help

[@094340]

My wiring had a blue wire but no yellow, so I just used the blue as the yellow. The other 3 wires were accurate. Do you think I wired it right? It seems to be working fine but I'm concerned that it's not right.

[@aholmessa]

Very good video... good english direct and to the point.....

[@kambingmaysakit]

Good day. If you press the two buttons simultaneously, it gives a series of options in a form of two number combinations. Mine for example after pressing is 1 0 then another press of the two buttons gives 3 5 then 4 3 then 5 1 then it returns to the temperature display. Do you happen to know what do these represent ? Can't seem to find one online even on the manual. Many thanks

[@rayflirtbodhi]

How do you do this when your old thermostat has only 2 wires and they have to identification on them?

[@adriennecrosby4105]

I have hot water heat. Which do I choose? Electric out Gas?

Hi there, can you tell me how to change this thermostat from F to C please. Thanks

[@vernonashby2984]

Great video! On my way to Home Depot right now!

[@divastatus39]

As I was looking at my wires I didn't see the white. I have O B R Y and G so which wire would I place where the white should go?

[@lizs1865]

🙂 Excellent video. Many thanks.

[@elavips982]

[@bigjake-o]

What were all the other colored wires besides the four you need it

[@alanc3134]

I had to look for a while as on your video as the G,R, Y, W slots for where the wires go in the new thermostat are labelled extremely faintly..

[@kathiv8071]

Thank You 👍

[@gretchenperry9032]

Thank you so much for this! You saved my summer!

[@jameylane9196]

I have an orange wire going to the "RC" terminal in my old one (no wire is attached to the old "O" terminal) should this go into "O" in the new one? Also the wire attached to the old "Y" terminal is brown, I assume that one gets connected to the "Y" on the new one?

[@bo_unez]

Does that new thermostat take batterys

[@missychan63]

You don't need labels, the letter corresponds to the color of the wire 😂.

[@woodstream6137]

House was cold after work. Batteries not only died but leaked. Had to scratch on the terminals to get new batteries to work. I'm tempted to try a new one but I think the wires are work hardened, they have no flex at all. Any tips so I don't break them?
