The background music is annoying and distracting. However, thanks for the information.
Steve Basic sorry pal
Could not be bothered to finish it because of the music. If I want music I will listen to Pandora or Spotify.
Sorry pal. I stopped doing the music on recent videos
Turn the music off or lower it a lot
Sorry pal. I’ve got some newer tstat vids coming with no music
I appreciate the video. It seemed like good content that I could use but couldn’t watch it to the end due to the background music.
So sorry. I will probably do another. You're not the first person to not this.
I agree. I don’t know why so many UA-camrs think they need background music, especially when they’re speaking. I don’t even need to hear music even when they’re doing something that doesn’t include speaking. Especially since the free, non-copyrighted music they all seem to choose is the most annoying music ever written.
@@NewHVACGuide Great idea. We want to hear what you’re saying, not some music that drowns you out.
@@maggiemay97 Sorry pal. I don't do music in my videos anymore
@@NewHVACGuide GOOD!
I love the T4. It’s the t-stat I recommend most of the time
I got rid of it when I purchased my house. Replaced it with a manual no program one
Hey just an FYI that music is distracting from what your saying.
Sorry pal. I’ve gotten that complaint before and have stopped doing the background music
@@NewHVACGuide good luck
Great video, helped me out a lot. Merry Christmas
Awesome! Merry Christmas! Please subscribe if you don’t mind.
The music in the background is annoying.
Sorry pal. I stopped it on my recent videos
I have a 2 wire 1950 wire thermostat, the utility guy told me I only need a cheap new thermostat, he took his little hook ups and jumped the wires and it came on, I forgot what kind of basic heater thermo I need, do you know the kind I need.
Hey Lois welcome to griffin air
+Cup 🤣
No music please
Sorry pal
If the backup heat strips on a heat pump are triggered because the room temperature isn't being maintained by the heat bump, will this unit indicate that the auxiliary heat is on?
I'm not aware of an aux heat alert on the T4
Heat pump with electric backup, does the T6 work better for this?
Thanks. My thermostat is not following schedule. Schedule set at 25degrees but room temperature is currently reading 13 degrees. Do you know how I can go about this?
Damilola Aasa Try calling Honeywell. They are very helpful
Hi the video was helpful in some ways I still need help my thermostat only has the year and select on the screen and won't let me select niether the year not anything and just won't budge
Hmm. I haven't ran into that. You may need to contact Honeywell support at 1-800-468-1502
what about the music?
how do I know if I have two air filter for my A/C centralized air con system. I found the one at the center of my home on the ceiling. Do I have another air filter next to the heating unit
Depending on your system and setup, it may be behind a cover of there is one
Which thermostat do you recommend for a one unit two story townhouse and you want to install split thermostat since I've done everything to cool the second floor and still is not keeping it cool enough
Is this a good stat? I’m looking at this or the Emerson 80 series
Help! My thermostat stopped working. I replaced the batteries but the ac is not working. I cut the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds and turned it back on, and ac still won’t click on.
Hello. Sounds like you may have a problem with your unit. You should call a pro to repair it.
Hi! My husband and I just had our AC replaced yesterday and our old thermostat was replaced with the T4 Pro. I have it set for permanent hold at 74°. I liked having a thermostat that would allow the temp to get to 75° and then kick on to cool it down to 73°. This thermostat is constantly trying to keep it at a steady 74° so it's kicking on and cooling too often in my opinion. Is there a way to change that?
Kim H hello. The Honeywell thermostats do you have a band width with it going up a degree and then cooling it down to half a degree below the setpoint. It does not reflect that on the screen but it is operating that way. I’m not sure if you can increase that band width on a T4. Some thermostats you can. But if you feel like your new system is running too often, try calling the installation company to check it over again
And please subscribe! 🙂
Which model is used for ac heatpump
there was absolutely NO need for any music let alone obnoxiously loud music.
Sorry pal. I stopped doing it on newer videos
How do you make it auto so it can cut off its self once it hit the temperature and then turn on once the temperature is higher
Hello! Is it not shutting off? Or are you referring to the fan?
Hello. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. Just one question.
Recently, I built an off grid cabin and installed a williams propane stove. Since there is no electricity (I do have a generator that I use when I'm there) I am planning on using this thermostat with the primary source of power being the batteries. My question is: Do I just run one wire from the thermostat "W" slot (heat) to the wire identified as "thermostat" on the stove?
Again, thanks for the video and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think the answer to your question is yes. You should have two wires. One will go to the R and the other will go to the W
I recommend hiring a pro.
🙂
Please subscribe if you don’t mind. I’m trying to get to 1000 subscribers to make UA-cam happy LOL
@@NewHVACGuide Thanks...subscribed!
My fan consistently stays on whether I have the a/c or heat on. Is there a control to turn the fan off??? Otherwise, it’s gonna run this bill up.
Do you have the fan setting set to on or auto?
@@NewHVACGuide I always leave it on auto
I have seen on several thermostats not sure if they were T4 or T6 that are showing "recovery" but I haven't found anything explaining what that is, is there settings for it, and what is it telling the system to do?
Can you send me a picture of the screen and mode number when you see it again? Griffinair804@gmail.com
Would be a good video if the goofy elevator music was gone!!!! Wanna listen to you!!!
Sorry pal. I stopped doing that after getting that complaint. My newer videos are just me 🙂
@@NewHVACGuide it was a great video...I'm an old guy....and I had a hard time hearing YOU....IT COMPLETELY SUCCEEDED IN RESETTING OUR THERMOSTAT!!! FOR THAT I THANK YOU!!! CLEAR CONCISE!!! THANKS! YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW YOUR STUFF!!!
Thank you sir!
Please subscribe if you don’t mind
Hi! Just had this thermastat installed with a Trane heat pump package, problem is I can never tell when my heat strips/secondary heat has kicked on or off due to there is no aux/heat that displays or lets me that it is in aux/heat mode. Hmmm. Am I missing something? The company that installed my unit said these are what he uses for all his installs, and he really likes them.
I don’t think the T4 has an aux heat indicator
No the manual says Auto, Heat, Cool, Em Heat and Off only So I guess you just go by the heat coming out if the vent. I don't not like knowing when there running. Lot more expensive with the electric bill. Thank you for responding back so quickly.
@@annanannen1100 yes ma’am. Good luck!
How to restore the device?
If the power is out or you take the batteries out and don’t replace them in less than 2 minutes
Yeah. We used to leave the batteries out of stats if hard wired. But these get batteries either way now.
It would be better with no music. Thank you.
How can I bypass the AC minimum it is set at 70 but I like it colder. Really looking for some help!
It’s in the programming. #430 needs to be changed.
You told me Nothing that I needed
Sorry! What are you needing?
my thermostat is not working i’ve replaced the battery’s and reset the thermostat it dosnt work my ac dosnt work it’s 88 in my room right now
It’s blank?
@@NewHVACGuide it was blank, i replaced the 2 aa battery’s put the cover back on. the screen turned back on, i had it set on cool 68 and it’s like the ac won’t work or respond with the thermostat.
Might need to call a pro. Might be a reason it was blank.
Worth thermostat
huh?
Good info, music is annoying
Sorry. I don't do the music anymore
Join us on Tuesday for our live show!

The music made me change this.
How do I reset it to factory default to program it to show PROG option?! Ridiculous, I only have TIME, DATE, F/C, and HOLD under the menu when on heating or cooling.
Rob Postle hello! You need to reprogram the stat. I’ll send you the link to the manual.
Rob Postle change 120 to 2,3,or 4
HOLD Menu and the + button for three seconds to get to Factory Default OPTIONS
Owners Manual here to tell you what codes mean: customer.resideo.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/33-00000s/33-00187EFS.pdf
for ISU 120 set to 4 (not 0) to have it have PROG option.
Took me an hour to find this and set everything up... What a hassle.
I'm glad you figured it out!
Is there a way to bypass the thermostat limiter my heat is set at 73 my landlord is cheap I would gladly appreciate it...
J Garcia yes sir. See the manual at the link below. Change ISU#431.
www.manualslib.com/manual/1277121/Honeywell-T4-Pro.html?page=7#manual
@@NewHVACGuide OK, this is exactly what I was looking for, but when i try to select 431 I can select 4, but then the second digit only gives me the option of 0 or 1. Any ideas?
aaaaand I just figured it out. You cycle through ALL the ISUs by selecting a value for each one as you go. Solved! You have my gratitude.
Burke Willis awesome. Sorry I didn’t respond right away
My T4 is set for Monday - Friday for the same schedule- how do I change to daily ?
You may need a pro’s help. But what needs to be done is in the programming. Change scheduling options to 7day
Not a good answer for angus maccines nor me. I’m following instructions which are usually confusing. Companies assume you know all these terms. I’ll check out some more videos.
@@kathymitchell8666 I’m not sure what answer you’d like. Sounds like you should hire a pro as well 🙂
How would one change the code from 1234 to something else?
I don’t think you can change it pal. Sorry
Let’s take a drink each time he says “uhm”. I didn’t learn shit from this video.
I say um a lot. If you drink, you won't make to minute 2 😆
I have a Honeywell T4 pro but I only have four wires yellow white red and baby blue red is obviously power yellow is compressor white is heat blue has to go to fan this leaves no com is that
It all depends on how your system is wired. What you’re describing would be correct in some cases but low-voltage wiring can sometimes be wired different ways
How do you change the cycles per hour? its not clear or showing anywhere.
paych GeRonimo do you have the manual? It’s in there in the programming typically. I don’t usually change the cycles unless there’s a performance issue with the humidity.
@@NewHVACGuide Yes, It's in the section ISU options and states must be under stage 1 to see. I don't know what the stage 1 is referring to but when I go to advanced settings holding the menu/plus button together for 3 seconds. I see ISU, hit select and it is this strange number thing like 120/3. It must be week/day/ program settings. Other than that, It doesn't show anything else. I'd like to have less than 5 per hour, we don't need that much. I'm tempted to replace this unit but will wait until someone explains this thing. Any help would be awesome!
paych GeRonimo see the manual at the link below. The cycles are ISU# 365-370

Hi my T4 pro has a triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Do anyone know what this is? Thanks
J KM hello! Go here for the manual. Could be low batteries.
forwardthinking.honeywellhome.com/assets/tseries/resources/install/T4%20Pro%20User%20Guide%20-%2033-00188EFS.pdf
Could also be the filter replacement alert
@@NewHVACGuide Thank you so much. I think that is the problem.
@@NewHVACGuide I’ve went through two packs of batteries! Thanks for the filter alert...Guess I’ll go to Home Depot. 🤗
Can I replace t4 thermostat to t6 thermostat?
Probably. But if you're not confident, hire a pro! :-)
@@NewHVACGuide thank you
Oh you’re welcome. Thank you!
This video is problematic , but I did get a major takeaway that was the key for me: “select”= “enter”. Aha! After that I could program it.
Awesome. I’m not offended but wanted to ask what you found problematic. Is it something I can fix?
Griffin Air LLC Okay. Everybody’s a movie critic, right? LOL. Please take this as constructive criticism and bear in mind that I watched three vids on this and yours was the one that helped me.
Anyway...
1- I found the music a little distracting, as it was just a bit too loud and background music is really not necessary for this type of video.
2- When you hold the thermostat, facing yourself, it’s hard to tell what buttons you’re pushing. A “first person” camera view looking at the unit without you in the picture would be better. Hope that helps and good luck.
Yes sir. Thank you
You’re not the first to bring up the music. So I stopped it on my newer videos
Awesome!
Ajaust had a new AC heatpump. It has a T6. The outside temp is 79 we set ac to 76 permanent hold. Our scheduled heat is set to go on at 60. But we override schudle using permanent hold at 76 for ac
The problem is once in a while the temp permanent cold at 76 and the fan turns on, we notice the air coming from vents ramps up to super hot over 100, then it turns drops slowly itself to cool slowly, but for a few minutes prior the heat is being pumped out. Any ideas?
FixmyToyota sounds like you need to have a HVAC technician take a look at this.
@@NewHVACGuide Yes system is 3 weeks old, it happened one time first week thought I hit wrong button, then a week later no one touched thermostat and it turned heat while at same time the thermo was set to permanenet hold cold 76, it just happened again tonight, it ran heat for a few minutes even though thermo said permanent hold 76 degrees cool.
When we had ac guy out second time he told my wife we had schedule set wrong which i did not set wrong, so he set heat to come on at 60 and turned off the schedule. I turned the schedule back on because it shouldnt have to be turned off to work, but we used permanent hold cool at 76 and we leave it like that.
I just noticed no batteries maybe power is funky so I put batteries in will see if helps. I think its a bad thermostat out of the box. Will call honeywell if I can find number.
FixmyToyota have him replace stat. I’ve seen a few act goofy. 1 out of 1000
All of the above!!! Can barely hear what he is saying
my honest review it's a piece of crap. Had a contractor change out my system less than 2 years ago and the thermostat the temp is already inaccurate. verified it with a meat thermometer as well as another thermostat and the t4 was off by about 5 degrees! totally level on my wall, i changed out the batteries and still inaccurate readings. What really brought it to my attention was my electric bill in May. Way higher than normal.
turn off the dang music.....
Jesus.. Seriously, I don't know which is more annoying, The music background or you are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS doing this video with music
Sorry pal
Annoying music… Why add distracting bad music? I’ll find another vid… no “like” from me.
Get rid of the music......................................
Ok. I stopped the music in newer vids
Nope....music too distracting...stopped watching after 30 sec
Sorry pal
OK why is music playing when you are talking...it's distracting and serves no purpose. I can't listen to this.
Sorry pal. I stopped doing it after complaints
@@NewHVACGuide T
Oops! on the first response... Thanks for doing that
Dumb music
Sorry pal
Why
Why
Never look at the date
Why
It’s cold it don’t work
Can’t turn it up or down
Best way to fix it
Sledge hammer

Huh?
Background music is very annoying!!
So sorry!
