Install Honeywell thermostat

As part of the Honeywell thermostat installation, we first had to remove the Honeywell smart thermostat from the older unit that had a cracked display because it fell off the wall. Wiring the Honeywell thermostat was quite simple as you simply label the wires you remove from the older Honeywell thermostat and connect them in the same spot when you install the new Honeywell thermostat

Honeywell's Wi-Fi installation is simple, but if your AC system is a 4-wire instead of a 5-wire system and doesn't have a C wire, then you're in trouble and will need to do some wiring tricks because you Need 24 VAC on the C wire from the air conditioner to power your new Honeywell smart thermostat rth9585wf. Please note that this smart color thermostat from Honeywell is not battery powered, but requires power directly from the air conditioner.

Their menus are self-explanatory and easy to follow and navigate.

What should you do if you purchase a Honeywell WiFi thermostat without C-wire?

With any smart thermostat without a C wire, you still have to give it 24 V to power the smart thermostat. In my Honeywell rth9585 setup, I stole the green /"G/" wire from the G terminal and used it as the C wire on the C terminal to supply 24 VAC to this smart thermostat. However, this means that I cannot have the function where I just run the fan without AC or heat, like the ventilation function in your car. No problem, we only use our central air conditioning in AC mode or Heat mode. So the fan turns on automatically when your Honeywell Smart Thermostat tells the air conditioning or heating to turn on.
