Step 1: Remove Old Thermostat
Caution
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or circuit
breaker box until installation is complete. It is critical to turn the power off to the air handler unit (located inside
or in attic) and it is highly recommended that you turn the power off to the condenser unit (located outside) as
well.
You must turn off the power to the thermostat before installing your new iThermostat. Turning off power to the air
handler is the easiest way to turn off power to the thermostat. If your house was built before 1985, you will likely
need to turn off power to the air handler at the breaker panel. If your home was built after 1985, a light switch
located near the air handler can be used to turn power off. The air handler unit is typically located in the attic.
To insure that you have successfully disconnected the thermostat power, switch the FAN to the ON position and
verify that the fan is not operating. Many thermostats will have battery back up so the display will still be ON
even if the power has been switched OFF.
