Questions & Answers

The hold button is on, how do I get AC to come on
ByJun 7, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi TDSVMO, thank you for reaching out. "Hold" indicates that the thermostat is currently not following the schedule. Make sure that the system mode is set to "Cool" and that the setpoint is below the current inside temperature. Once the thermostat displays a steady "Cool On" message, the AC should be running. Feel free to contact our tech support team at (800) 633-3991 for further assistance. - Maria

            What does the Triangle with an explanation mark in it mean? Also, how do I change the batteries?
            ByJul 28, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi HelpMe, this is the alert icon. On the alert screen you will see the alert icon and the alert number. Press Next (+) to see additional alerts, if any. Then press Done to go back to the home screen. You can consult the thermostat manual to check what each alert code means or you can contact our team at (800) 633-3991 or through Facebook under Honeywell Home. To replace the batteries you have to pull the face plate straight towards you to remove it from the wall. The batteries are on the back of the face plate. - Maria

                  Planned obsolescence will backfire for this company.
                  Do not buy. Switch to a 5 star company. Check the one star reviews on this product. Two identical units, Honeywell RTH5160D1003, FAILED and are DEFECTIVE. One at 14 months and the other one failed at 6 months. I wasted time and money with HVAC service calls for unneeded repairs, replacements…as the problem were the Honeywell Thermostats. - Planned obsolescence will backfire for this company.

                      Should have replaced the TS years ago
                      Clever design, e.g. a mini door conceal wires to block cold/hot air from entering form the back of the wall, easy install spring loaded wire connection. The +-1° swing works perfectly [our old 2002 TS was cycling way to fast, on, off, on, off] this TS maintains temperature right on the money without the cringe worthy nonsense. Fast install, but,,, studied the existing wires, watched youtube videos, sanded/repaired/painted wall. Directions on line and HW call/help center is available.

                        Easy to install in minutes. If you’re like us, and want just a simple temperature reliant and efficient Thermostat like this, this is definitely the best! I really like the backlight feature so you can easily see it in the dark.

                        Honey Well T3 Programmable Thermostat 5-2 Day
                        I bought this in Home Depot last year and installed it in October 2022. AC is running continuously with no resting periods. Six Technicians came to the house in different months and cannot resolve the problem. According to them our wirings, connections, Evaporating Coil (cleaned last year), and Compressor in the backyard (2 years old etc) are working fine. Freon was added last year. I spoke to their representatives (4) but they didn’t solve the issues - according to them, the house has some issues. At 3:30 pm the temperature inside the house was 79 cooling was 79 degrees Fahrenheit; at about 3:44 pm temperature inside the house increased to 81 degrees. After two hours I checked the thermostat temperature: inside the house was 81 degrees and cooling was 79 degrees, while I didn’t change the temperature at all I just wasted money on this product and they don’t want to replace the Thermostat.

                          A Good Thermostat for Greater Privacy
                          This is a great thermostat if you don't want a company like Google, knowing every move you make in your home. Granted, your power company knows, but why allow other third parties to spy on your heating and cooling schedule?

                          Many 1 star reviews are inaccurate
                          I changed my thermostat and had air in about 20 minutes even though I dont know anything about HVAC. This thermostat is designed to work with many HVAC systems regardless of brand or components. 4 wire, 5 wire, 53.7 wire, doesnt matter. All the wires are color coded, you get lables for them, and the thermostat tells you exactly where they go. You dont even have to understand how to use a screwdriver because they have clamps to secure them. However because of this there is a one time set up using and - to indicate 6 features of your system (ie how many compressor stages). Just google your make, model and compressor stages. Answer will be right there, you dont need a degree to figure this out. If you just guess the thermostat cant control your unit correctly. Thats your fault not the units. This is not that hard people just put a little effort into it.
