    How do I change the batteries in a Honeywell wall mounted thermostat?

    What kind of battery does this unit take? I can't figure out how to get the cover off.



    Thanks!How do I change the batteries in a Honeywell wall mounted thermostat?You didn't say what model of thermostat. I assume that you mean an electronic programmable model.

    Check around the edges along the top, sides, %26amp; bottom for a slot that you can insert a small flathead screwdriver.

    Without applying too much force you should be able to pry it open.

    Some models allow you to pinch the front cover inwards with the fingers of both hands so you can gently release the cover from the back plate %26amp; pull it away.



    Your best bet is to try to find the original installation manual for your product. It should explain how to open the unit up.

    When I need a product manual I usually try to locate a downloadable one from the manufacturers website. Search by using your make, %26amp; model number.

    I hope this helps. Good luck!How do I change the batteries in a Honeywell wall mounted thermostat?This is for the CT3200... not sure what model you have but I imagine they can't be too different !

    Is changing a heating thermostat as easy as changing a light fixture?

    I have an older round thermostat for my oil-burning heating system, and I just bought a digital model on clearance. I've changed light fixtures, installed ceiling fans, and done some other simple electrical work. Will I be able to change this thermostat easily? Anything I should watch out for? Or, any handy tips?Is changing a heating thermostat as easy as changing a light fixture?You should be able to handle a thermostat. Heat only, two wires.

    Heat/cool ,4 wires. There should be a jumper that goes from RC to RH, on some models. But, White to W terminal, Red to R terminal (Jumper to RH and RC) Green to G terminal and yellow or blue to the Y terminal. Level and secure to wall with anchors. Read instructions on t-stat for any specifics, but basically that is it. Change 1 wire at a time from thermostat to thermostat. Shut off power to oil burner before starting.Is changing a heating thermostat as easy as changing a light fixture?Very easy.

    There's one red wire, and one white wire. (If you have central a/c, there will be an additional yellow wire.)

I am sure that if you follow them carefully, you will have no trouble.Is changing a heating thermostat as easy as changing a light fixture?It is not too bad.
