To change the batteries on a Honeywell thermostat:
Changing the batteries on your Honeywell thermostat is a really easy job to do. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out to be one of the quickest jobs you do today.
Fancy looking at some of the above-mentioned steps in more detail? Then make sure you check out the Honeywell thermostat battery guide below. You’ll even find a handy video tutorial.
Thermostat batteries always seem to die at the wrong time. You get one scorching day after a cold spell and go to turn the thermostat down and… The batteries are flat. Or you get some unexpected cold days at the end of the summer. You go to turn up the heat on the thermostat and… Again, the batteries are as dead as a doormat.
Now, you could follow the steps printed in your thermostat’s user manual to change the batteries. But if your shredder has been working as hard as mine has recently, you’ll know that that is no longer an option.
But not to worry! As included in this article is the very best set of instructions. These will help you to change the batteries of your Honeywell thermostat. It is ideal for changing a thermostat with both the basic pull or hinge design. Let’s get started!
Before you get cracking, make sure you turn your thermostat off. There should be an on/off switch on the face of the thermostat for you to do so. This should prevent the thermostat from unsyncing itself in case it malfunctions when you remove the batteries.
Now turn the electricity off to the thermostat at the circuit breakers.
This step will change depending on the model of your Honeywell thermostat. Take a look at the table below that will show you the step that is right for your model.

Remove the old batteries from the faceplate. Make a note of the old battery size. Then dispose of the batteries.
Replace the old batteries with new ones. Most Honeywell thermostats take two AA batteries. But to be safe, replace your batteries with the same size that were in there before.
This step will also change depending on the model of your Honeywell thermostat. Take a look at the table below that will show you the step that is right for your model:
Basic Pull Design | Hinge Design |
*TIP!* Are you struggling to get the faceplate back on? If so, then resist the urge to jam it into place. Make sure the faceplate and the baseplate are aligned correctly and push down on the baseplate again. |
*TIP!* Does the faceplate keep falling off when you put it on? Then make sure that both sets of hinges are properly aligned. The faceplate should not move once clicked back into place. |
Start by turning the power back on at the circuit breakers. Then turn the thermostat on with the on/off button. Wait a minute for a new cycle to begin on the display. After one minute, your thermostat will restart and will be ready to use again.
You’ve finished! Now do a celebratory happy dance around the living room (mandatory step).
