How To Replace A Thermostat |
|
||
|
Before replacing your thermostat, make sure the
new one is of the same voltage specifications. Thermostats operate on less
voltage, usually only 12 or 24 volts. These are general guidelines when
installing a thermostat but make sure to look at the directions furnished from
the manufacturer. 1. Remove the cover from the thermostat that you are replacing. Next, remove the thermostat. There may be a couple of bolts that hold it in place. Once loosened, remove the wiring connected to the terminals on the back of the thermostat. At this point you may want to identify the wires by wrapping marked strips of tape to them. 2. If needed, strip the wire insulation so you have at lease 1/2" of bare wire at the ends. Make sure the bare wire is clean and shiny. 3. Using a screwdriver, attach the wiring to the new thermostat. Be careful and gentle as to not damage the wires. Make sure each wire is installed to the correct terminal. 4. Reattach the thermostat unit to the wall by using the bolts you previously removed from the old one. 5. Install the new face plate to the unit. |
