- If you need help, refer to the online guides and support videos at HoneywellHome.com/support. You can also contact Honeywell Home via email at Honeywellhomesupport@honeywellhome.com or phone at 1-800-633-3991.
- Removing your old thermostat:
- Turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls your heating and cooling equipment to protect your equipment.
- Check that your system is off by changing the temperature on your old thermostat. If you don’t hear or feel the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off.
- Remove your existing thermostat from the wall plate by gently pulling or using screws, buttons, or clasps. Do not remove any wires at this time.
- Compatibility Check:
- Check if you have a line voltage system. Line voltage systems have thick black wires with wire nuts or are labeled high voltage (120V or higher). If you have a line voltage system, the T9 Smart Thermostat is not compatible. Visit honeywellhome.com/contacta-pro to find a professional installer in your area.
- If you don’t have a line voltage system, continue to the next step.
- Take a picture of your existing wall plate’s wiring from different angles to capture all the letters next to the terminals. This image may be needed for reference later.
- Remove any jumpers connecting two terminals. Keep the jumpers with your old wallplate and do not discard them.
- Label each wire on your existing wall plate using the stickers provided with your new thermostat. Do not label jumpers. Note that your new thermostat does not require jumpers.
- Write down the colors of the wires for reference.
