If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s heating and cooling system, installing an ambient thermostat is a great way to improve comfort and energy efficiency. However, if you’ve never installed a thermostat before, the process may seem overwhelming. Don’t worry! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you exactly how to install an ambient thermostat in your home.

What is an Ambient Thermostat?

Before we dive into the installation process, let’s quickly discuss what an ambient thermostat is. Unlike traditional thermostats, which only measure the temperature of the immediate surroundings, an ambient thermostat uses advanced technology to monitor the overall ambient temperature in a room. This ensures a more accurate and consistent reading, resulting in improved comfort and energy savings.

What You’ll Need for the Installation:

  • Ambient thermostat
  • Screwdriver
  • Drill (if necessary)
  • Wires and wire connectors (if necessary)

Step 1: Turn Off Power

In order to safely install your new ambient thermostat, the first step is to turn off the power to your heating and cooling system. Locate your circuit breaker panel and switch off the breaker that controls the HVAC system. This will prevent any accidental electric shocks during the installation process.

Step 2: Remove the Old Thermostat

Next, remove the cover of your old thermostat by gently pulling it away from the wall. You will likely see several wires connected to various terminals. Take a photo or make note of the wire placements to ensure proper connection later on. Disconnect each wire from its corresponding terminal and carefully remove the old thermostat from the wall.

Step 3: Prepare the New Thermostat

Now it’s time to prepare your new ambient thermostat for installation. Start by reading the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Identify the necessary mounting holes on the back of the thermostat, and if required, drill pilot holes in the wall to match. Once the mounting holes are ready, feed the thermostat wires through the hole and attach the backplate to the wall using screws provided with the thermostat.

Step 4: Connect the Wires

Referring to your notes or photo from Step 2, connect each wire to its corresponding terminal on the new thermostat’s backplate. Gently push the wires back into the wall opening, ensuring that they are properly secured in place. Use wire connectors if necessary to ensure a stable connection.

Step 5: Attach the Thermostat

With the wires connected, it’s time to attach the thermostat to its backplate. Align the thermostat carefully with the backplate and push it firmly into place until it clicks or locks into position.

Step 6: Restore Power and Test

Finally, you can restore power by switching on the breaker for your heating and cooling system. The ambient thermostat should now power on. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to complete the initial setup, such as setting the time, desired temperature, and any personalized settings. Once everything is set, test the thermostat by adjusting the temperature and ensuring that your HVAC system responds accordingly.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed an ambient thermostat in your home. Enjoy the improved comfort and energy efficiency it provides!
