👍Thermostat Wiring for BEGINNERS !!!

[@stefanroemer4489]

Don't trust the color. It depends on your installer

[@killer2600]

This...when installing a replacement thermostat all that matters is where on the old thermostat the wire was connected. Thermostat terminals are more standardized than the wire colors.

[@DJV94022]

True,copper is copper the color coating just helps to get from point A to B . When you see a black or brown being used and a color not being used or cut short then that explains it Unless you wanna be a evil person and change all the colors and make it hell for a new tech or a senior tech get an heart attack

[@qaswed854]

[@DJV94022]

Florida people: The units are called heat pumps R-24volts C- negative (-)blue wire Y-to kick on your compressor/heatpump outside unit W-heat strips (winter time) O- when it gets 24v from the thermostat it goes into cooling mode (if you own a rheem or rude ignore this) G- is to turn on your indoor unit (blower) Black and brown are extra wires If you have different colors being used on a good running unit dont question it.. if its different its for a reason sometimes in the 500feet roll of thermostat wire factorys sell the roll with broken wires or in new construction the wires get caught with a nail or drywall people destroy the wires somewhere So mostly it takes 6 wires to run the air conditioner 2 extra wires for additional equipment or broken or damaged wires

This was wonderful, thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@laurazickefoose1037]

What if you have a black wire and no brown wire?

[@joe-smith-369]

Estas cores estão ligadas assim correspondente as letras no meu antigo thermostat, vou ligar igual, só espero que não pegue fogo 🔥 kkkk… valeu 😅obrigado pelo vídeo.

[@stevenaugust8819]

Made it easy thx😊🌍🤔

[@NDC1115]

So much wrong here. W is call for heat. Does not matter if it's electric or gas. G is fan on/off, it dose not change speed, that's done on the control board in the unit. Y is not for the "compressor", it's call for cooling, a separate wire goes from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. C is common, but not all thermostats require it, most run on alkaline batteries.

[@huntermuir833]

where does my black wire go ?

[@nonfiction_4life156]

Don't even tell him

[@CardHunters709]

​@@huntermuir833Most time it's either not used/spare wire. It's usually used for stage 2.

[@chert023]

I had a problem I have an electric heater but I couldn’t plug it in my W wire because when I did and turned the cool on it blew out hot air only so I read up and it said to plug it into the O/B wire and it started blowing cool is this normal.

[@threestans9096]

y is technically compressor contactor for cooling. c is common and many res does need it when code calls for it to be hardwired as well as battery. g is blower fan relay. w is heat valve or relay for heating. o is heat pump energized in cooling b is heat pump energized in heating..

[@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens]

BUT what is that second white wire that is going from RH to RC?? I have a 2nd red wire doing the same thing????

[@DeaninItYourself]

its just a jumper cable that connect the Heating and the cooling circuit, this is used so that the thermostat can switch between heat and cool and you dont need to run a separate wire back to your air handler.

[@TARANS012]

Mine has 12v Red , GND Blue, C Yellow, D white . Now how to I link these to Smart thermostat that have no Ground or 12v label ?

[@krissy_c]

My brother tried to change thermostat to eco bee but said he couldn't install due to c wire missing .. any advice 😢

[@DeaninItYourself]

Sometimes the c wire is cut off. Peel back the insulation and check if the blue wire is there. I have another video explaining this.

[@GatsuGuts]

What about 4 utp wires on a 3 imput?

[@jonathansanchez10]

What if I have E the black one?

[@davidlynn3097]

Thanks much

[@DeaninItYourself]

No problem

[@julianperez-robles6921]

I have one red wire from the wall but on my thermostat there a red small wire running from R to Rc and idk why?

[@DeaninItYourself]

It is a jumper cable so that heating and cooling have power. That is normal.

[@Championwarlord]

Great video

[@qaswed854]

does the red wire go to RH or RC

[@DeaninItYourself]

Rc

[@qaswed854]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@LarryRichelli]

I just bought a new home and the thermostat drives me crazy because when I try to turn it off the the only two fan settings are off or automatic so the fan is always one. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it

[@tailzzzzz]

'Environc' channel - 'mistakes made when hooking up a thermostat'. If the fan is always running, even when set to off, they connected two wires that shouldn't have been connected. Hope that helps.

[@luissantiago_official]

What’s the black wire for?

[@Shidpiz]

Do you have a heat pump?

That doesn't tell me how it works

[@taylorjones3390]

Yikes hes right on where to put ‘em if they’re labeled right, sometimes you can have 2 red and white wires and ppl wouldn’t know. He’s describing this all wrong. Unless you have an ecobee thermostat (only ones I’ve seen so far) where you need to actually go inside the furnace and put your thermostat into their wires and then plug that into your thermostat terminals on your furnace. Your best bet is just buy one that’s simple and take a picture and do one wire at a time
