    Fantastic video. Saved me hundreds in paying someone to do it/buying the wrong thermostat. Question for you, the new condo I just bought also has a very old humidistat next to the old thermostat. Would the Honeywell product you showed here be able to replace both the humidistat and the thermostat? Thanks a ton

    Our thermostat is extremely old so when I took it off, it did have before wires. However, when I went to go install the new thermostat it’s a touchscreen and I opened it. The wall plate only has two slots, one that says, R the other that says C only the one that says R has a like silver slot. The other one is nothing but a hole that will exit into the wall. I’m assuming? Please give me some direction thanks in advance.

    I think I would have pulled a new thermostat wire, while you don't have central a/c the common wire would be handy to have and nothing wrong with a spare wire or two either.

    Really wish this stuff was more affordable. Last quote (materials only) was still $20 per foot. It's actually higher because joiners, corners, and end caps are outrageous. A smalI-ish 3 bedroom can have 100 ft, so your looking at over 2k for a cosmetic upgrade. That's if you do it all yourself. If you are doing remove/install anyway, sand the old ones and paint them and put them back.
