Heating and cooling your home can be expensive, but a programmable thermostat can help you control the energy costs.

How to Install or Replace a Programmable Thermostat
Programmable Thermostat Considerations
A programmable thermostat lets you customize the heating and cooling of your home to your needs, ensuring the heat and air conditioning aren't running when you don't need them. You can set your system for one temperature when you're at home, and another when you're away.

Different programming options are available, and you can control smart thermostats remotely over Wi-Fi. You can also find thermostats that create schedules and automatically adjust when you're away. To learn more about selecting a programmable thermostat, see Selecting the Right Thermostat for Your Home.

How to Install or Replace a Programmable Thermostat
Make sure the thermostat is compatible with your heating and cooling system — installation might differ by model and type of system in your home. Follow local and national codes for electrical connections.

1.Turn off the old unit.

2. Turn off the power to your heating and cooling system at the main fuse or circuit box.

3. Remove the existing thermostat, but leave the wall plate in place for now so you can note how the wires are connected. Test the wires with a circuit tester to verify the power is off.

4.Label each wire on your existing system with the letter designation of the terminal it's connected to. Ignore the wire color — use only letters to identify the wires. Your new thermostat may come with pre-printed labels for this step.

5.Take a picture of the existing connections so you'll have a visual reference later if you need it.

6. Disconnect the wires and remove the existing wall plate.

7. Depending on the shape and size of your new thermostat, you may need to remove the old wall anchors and patch the holes. See Removing Unwanted Wall Anchors for instructions.

8. Install the new wall plate. Use a level and mark the location for the mounting holes. Drill the holes and, if needed, insert drywall anchors. Feed the wires through the wall plate and fasten the plate to the wall. Secure the wires so they don't fall back into the wall.

9. Follow the instructions that came with your new unit and use the labels on the wires to determine the proper connections to the terminals. Insert the wires into the corresponding terminals on the thermostat and tighten the terminal screws. There may be a metal jumper connecting the R and Rc terminals on the new thermostat. The manual will direct you whether to leave it in place or remove it. Wi-Fi thermostats may require a C wire. If you don't have a C wire, consult the manual for options.

10. Install batteries as needed.

11. Mount the new thermostat onto the wall plate.

12. Restore power and set up the new thermostat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
