How to Program Your Thermostat

[@gavindancy9776]

Programmable Thermostats are the new VCR where unnecessary complicated programming schemes are concerned. Thanks for making this video. To think, I'm an experienced computer tech who can tell a team full of network engineers what they did wrong but somehow the thought of figuring out how to program this thing from the instruction book was melting my brain. So simple now that I've seen it thanks to you.

[@MrCal2648]

The fact that this video has over a million views prove that they made it more complicated than it needs to be work a thermostat.

[@HalfDeadGeezers]

Best assessment here.

[@Alwaysontopofit]

I have viewed quite a number of tutorial of how to program my thermostat and this has got to be the most straight forward one. Thank you so much.I finally got it done.

[@greenstruck5]

That's a fantastic tutorial! Thank you! For those that think it's too complicated or that want to set it manually, simply set the fan to auto, set to heat for heating or cool for cooling, and press the up or down arrow to get your desired temperature setting. Then press hold to hold that temperature setting permanently. You can reset the up or down arrows anytime you want manually.

[@mima4392]

I did that and it doesn't work. Just to get it to go on I had to set it to 75 and still didn't stay on any where long enough to get heat. We're freezing.

[@Sdny924]

This video was very helpful. Was so hot in my house till my friend suggested going on you tube for instructions. Could not figure it out on my own. I think it's working now. Thank you.

[@carolfirneno8246]

I am so thankful for your video! Our ac kept going from cold to like 78 degrees and I knew something was wrong. I lost our instruction manual and saw this video and fixed it. Thank you soooooo much!!!

[@hc2071]

Excellent, detailed instructions along with explanations as you go through the programming. You answered everything.Thank you!

[@dwshaz4677]

Thank you sooooo much. My house was cooking when I got home... 91 degrees in Fl. Your clip really helped!

[@Shannon27ist]

thankyou so much for your help, sometimes this thermostat drives me nuts and you made it so simple

[@TheJosa007]

Thank you for your clear explanation, you just saved the maintenance dept a trip.

[@clhatch13]

Thank you! The home we moved in had an identical thermostat. This was much easier than downloading the manual to figure out how to program our thermostat

[@aham2903]

Holy crap. I finally gave up on trying to figure this thing out on my own and looked it up. What an over-elaborate way to program a thermostat.

[@AroundIndiana]

I just bought a house and had no idea how to set this same thermostat. Very helpful thank you!

[@mjimih]

thanks! i was freezing. You cannot figure this thermostat out by looking at it and trying different buttons frantically. It doesn't show enough intuitive info when your frustrated. that is why I use youtube for situations like this.

[@reesejamu11]

lol right

IKR

[@martinezfamily6432]

This was me LMAO my nose is an icicle

[@janethines2205]

What was the temperature set on? Trying to cool off .

[@SpiritCaliber]

I am hot now. Pls help this make sense. The temperature changes everyday.

[@kolaida]

THANK YOU!!! I just bought a house with this thing and I could not figure it out for the life of me!! THANK YOU

[@andretv2308]

Thank you very much. I was having issues with getting my ac to work and this video helped me very much. Thanks again.

[@carolekraehenbuehl908]

Awesome. Very simply put, very well produced. Just happened to be the thermostat I have in my new apartment. Thanks!

[@DollyMcD54]

Thank you! I have the same thermostat, and I was clueless. You made it simple!

[@1cleandude]

Brilliant Ms. Akroyd!! Thank you for a clear and simple explanation!!

[@Lifeisbeautiful-d9l]

OMG this has saved my nerves! Been in new home two months. Don't know why I didn't ask for help? But this thing is so darn complicated. Thanks for video!😡😢😃

[@goldcherries]

Thank you so much, this was so helpful. I had no idea what what these buttons were doing.

[@cupcakesweets5998]

Thank you, this video was what I needed to operate my Honeywell. ..very informational and easy to follow instructions.

[@lindafoofoo]

Nicely done. Very clear, step-by-step directions. Who says gals can't do this kind of stuff> You rock! Too bad the display numbers aren't a bit larger.

[@crstlsnowflake]

Thank you! I just moved into a new home and could not figure out this darn thing! Easy to follow video.

[@angelasheppard8477]

Thank you for your tutorial.Your thermostat wasn't exactly like mine but it got the job done.

[@walterseeba7639]

There is a world of difference between something that can be understood and that which can’t be misunderstood!

[@jacquelinegonzalez6502]

this was so complicated before I saw your video! thank you for this! you literally saved me from freezing! :)

[@Lulubeans36]

Thank you, this was very helpful with my new home's thermostat!

[@garbomanfuturechamp5148]

All I’m tryna do ladie is get warm not plan the rest of my life threw my thermostat 😆

[@cheyennehammonds2331]

Me tooooo!!! It's freezing in this new place and it's 55 deg in here. It says heat is on but it's not on

[@talchaitai9850]

I couldn't get the up/dn arrows to make the screen respond..., so started randomly pressing the Set and Run buttons just to get it to unfreeze. THEN you hit the RUN button and gloriously KILL that programming beast. How many people have smashed this thing with a hammer just to get it OUT of their home!? What's wrong with adjusting our own temps when ready to leave or sleep or when we come home??

[@eddyvideostar]

Well said, Garboman. This is like asking for driving directions in a maze. The explanation is like a haze.

[@mcschneeman1]

haha that's funny.

[@rogerd4559]

go buy a conventional mechanical thermostat and add years to your life by not being agravated! Dontworryaboutit!

[@brianrainey3366]

thank you soo much I had no idea how to do it and it kept heating my house to 80 degree. now I have it set on permanent override thank you again for the video!!

[@Tomg435]

Brian Rainey A.K.A Southwest Mo. Geek how did u put on bypass to stay at one temp

[@djcygnus8110]

thank you dear. just became my lady's favorite repair man. guys... it's just LOOKS complicated. it's actually easy as sin. just breathe. :)

[@janicegarrett2147]

how do I get it to go over 68 it's freezing in my house

[@feverlynvinson5825]

[@rajturtle8000]

Your instruction video is simple and clear. Thanks-Raj

[@cdupree1]

Thank you so much for the tutorial..so appreciated your explanation...so helpful!

[@markdgreco]

not

[@dixiechicklee]

thank you!! I'm in a hotel and can't figure out how to adjust the temperature! you're a life saver.

[@agarcia77720]

What if you don’t wanna leave????

[@rogerd4559]

the newest thermostats have a default setting so when you give up trying to program it you just hold the default button for 3-5 seconds and it sets everything to the most common settings. I think it is the Honeywell Brand. They understand people dont think well when they are shivering or sweat rolling down in your eyes

[@shivp22]

Thanks a million for this! So damn helpful. I woke up at 5am freezing so I went downstairs to finally try and work this thing out! The test will be tonight now to see if it works and stays at temp! But at least if nothing else, I understand my Honeywell better so we’ll get there eventually 👍🏼 thanks again!

[@TheJedisch]

Good lord, I think I'll just use the fireplace when I want to stay warm xD Is there any way to bypass all the scheduling stuff? I'm retired and just need to adjust the darn thing to constantly maintain about 65 degrees so I neither freeze nor get reamed by a giant power bill.

[@lindadryden9572]

TheJedisch, You can set it manually quite easily. Simply press the up or down arrow to select your desired temperature. Then press the hold button to hold that temperature permanently.

[@scottneal2738]

Ron Dryden, yea mine will not stay and keeps going back to set program when the time for the program engages. I always have to adjust when that time frame changes and would just like to not have the set system schedule on it. I like to do all adjustments myself and that dam set system will keep getting in my way.

[@dBradbury]

Could you try pressing hold first, then changing the temperature?

[@shanlafleur-howard8327]

Scott Neal I’m having the same problem 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@tammychauvin6374]

Thank you for this video It really put things in perspective.

[@Bonbon54220]

Thank you for showing me this. I don't want to set it at all, so thanks for letting me know how to over-ride everything. :)

[@humrlvr24]

TySvM! First house we've purchased, no landlord to ask how to use the thermostat!

This was very helpful, thanks!

[@ChristopherAMacleod]

Thanks for GREAT instructions for same Honeywell!!!!

[@kenskwarok3010]

Complicated as hell never again will I get one

[@hypnojadescott321]

omg thank you so much. i misplaced the instructions. :) and especially no music and getting right into the instructions!

[@vc.la.sucvathosucvat6483]

Thank you! for a fantastic tutorial!

[@jeffhallinan5055]

I have this exact one and I almost fought my landlord over how I just wanted to change the temperature and it was doing a bunch of janky shit when I hit set and had no clue what to do. This solved my issues I believe so thank you whoever you are

[@luernesto74]

You're such a great help🙏 good job lady..

[@lynnemartineau7778]

thank you but how do you change the batteries please.

[@Hhla8485]

Very useful, and finally I got the time to learn it once and for all, I just have one more question so lets say I set it up Weekdays/Weekends to 73 Cool, If the temp goes higher than 73 lets say 75, Is the AC going to kick in or it wouldn't wait until it reaches the time of the setup and just then it will start?

[@corleywalsh3752]

Nice video it gave me a lot of good information

[@heididietrich3747]

I want to thank you for making this video. I'm in a new apartment. Well technically not. I've been here for over a year but I didn't need to adjust the thermostat last year. But this year, it's so COLD early. Can you tell me what type of battery it takes? The screen says that the battery is low.

[@RealestRealist14]

Fair enough explanation of how to operate the product but it is still 50x more complicated than it should or needs to be. When you have 600k views on a video of how to operate a thermostat chances are you made it much more confusing than it should be.

[@scottneal2738]

Nice and good to know, but I was hoping for a way to turn it off as mine looks like yours closely but the set button was touched accidentally and now I can’t get it turned off. I have to constantly go back and reset the temp with adjustment and hold button when time changes for set time.

Thanks you were so wonderful and I hope it works😳😳. My thermostat is a little different because it doesn’t have days of the week, but I’m praying 🙏🏽.

Hi, i set the time programs and from the mode, it shows it skip accordingly. but the heater didnt make a change. i only hook R & W at the back. dont know if anything else i need to attention on. thank you.

[@The_Supervillain]

Thank you so much. This thing was confusing me since we moved in a few months back, and it's summer now haha

[@hongphucvothi2801]

Very very useful. Thanks.

[@judienl]

I am ready to throw this thing out the window. Why, why why make it so difficult? I don't really want to go spend more money for another thermostat but this one (RTH7500) and the instructions don't seem to have anything to do with each other.

[@debitillman6544]

Thank you, now I check to see if my thermostat works because the "run" part didn't look like yours and this device is 3 yrs old. Is the maintenance # 1-800 or what is the area code?

[@kimmonk1523]

For those looking to permanently override the programming system, go to about 5:20 and it will show you how to basically use it as a manual system by using "hold".

[@jackiedurgin6537]

Should the fan be set on auto or on for heat? For the first few minutes when heat comes on we are get blasts of cold air whenever it turns on
