Replacing Existing Thermostat
Most thermostats have three parts:
• The cover, which may snap or hinge over the existing thermostat.
• The electronics or body, which controls the existing system.
• The sub-base, where the wires attach through the wall to the existing system.
1. Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to
removing existing thermostat.
2. Carefully remove the cover and electronics body from the old thermostat sub-base.
Depending on the brand, these parts may pull off or need to be unscrewed. The
old sub-base should remain wired and on the wall until steps 4 and 5.
3. Label every old wire with the letter of the connection to which the wire is
attached. Example letters are R, M, Y etc. Depending on the brand of the old
thermostat, your letters may be different.
4. After labeling the old wires, loosen each connection and remove them from old
sub-base. Secure the wires to prevent them from slipping into the hole in the wall.
5. Remove the old sub-base from the wall, again being careful that the wires do
not slip into the hole in the wall.
6. Use the chart below to determine the new thermostat connections. As an
example, if the old thermostat had a G connection, it goes to G on the new
thermostat. Note the chart includes information for Braeburn
®
1000(NC) and
1200(NC) thermostats. Be sure to use the correct column for the new thermostat.
