Introdução

Use this guide to replace a programmable thermostat on a single-stage reversible heat pump system. The heat pump used in this repair is by Trane US Inc.

A thermostat communicates with your HVAC controlling when it turns on, how long it runs, and when it shuts off. A faulty thermostat may lose power and display nothing (as if the power went out) or may malfunction erratically. Before using this guide, ensure the thermostat does not simply need a battery change and that a faulty breaker is not cutting power to your HVAC and thermostat. Test the system a few times with the breaker and new batteries to confirm that the thermostat is the issue.

In this replacement process will include confirming compatibility, shutting off power, removing the old thermostat, wiring the new wallplate, and reinstalling the faceplate.

Because you will be working with electrical wiring, you will need to shut off the power to your thermostat before removing the thermostat. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock.
