Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #51 – March 30, 2021, 01:23:27 pm Just installed the Honeywell heat only thermostat. Install was pretty simple but there are a couple differences between the old Suburban unit and the new one. For starters the the Honeywell is white and the Suburban is black but that’s a minor detail in my view as the benefits far outweigh that difference. The orientation of the base plate screws are different between the two models so you have to drill new holes. I was able to cover up the old holes with the new base plate. Tested it out and it works so much better than the Suburban mechanical thermostat. It’s nice to know that when you switch it off, it’s off, and that you can adjust the temperature to an exact setting instead of guessing as we had to do with the old thermostat. Makes me glad that the old one broke and gave me an excuse to upgrade. Very simple but effective upgrade that anyone can make!Edit: for some reason my photos are pixelated, don’t know why.Edit #2: Just a note that the two wires connect to the baseplate, not the thermostat. Forgot to get a photo of that. 1 Likes
Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #52 – March 30, 2021, 03:27:03 pm "for some reason my photos are pixelated"It's happened to me as well in the recent past, but only intermittently. When I re-uploaded the image in question, the blocky artifacts didn't recur, so you could try that. Meanwhile, Steve is working on tracking down the problem. 1 Likes
Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #53 – March 30, 2021, 03:42:38 pm Thanks, Andy. Let me try uploading a different photo of the size difference between the two units. They are essentially the same width but, as you can see, the Honeywell is about two inches longer.
Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #54 – March 30, 2021, 07:39:01 pm Your new upload came through OK. The unpredictability of this problem makes it hard to troubleshoot. If you look at reply #32, earlier in this thread, you'll see two versions of exactly the same photo, uploaded exactly the same way--one with blocky artifacts, the other without. What made the difference? I dunno. But again, our hard-working moderators are trying to figure it out.
Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #55 – April 01, 2021, 07:41:44 pm Getting ready to do this upgrade as well. I assume the baseplate is labeled fairly easily? Red to red and white to white? No way to screw it up right? Quote from: HiLola - March 30, 2021, 01:23:27 pmJust installed the Honeywell heat only thermostat.

Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #57 – April 02, 2021, 07:56:25 pm Yup simple install but unfortunately couldn’t cover both holes due to the wiring hole location and where they come through. I put a screw back in it’s place instead of a bare screw hole 🤷. A great upgrade but sure wish it was black to match the rest of the electronics.
Re: Heater Thermostat Reply #58 – April 02, 2021, 08:10:06 pm Joe, mine just barely covered the old thermostat. Perhaps yours is a bit larger? If you really want it black, you might try painting it with some spray paint for plastic. I believe Krylon makes some. In my case, I might try and find a white cover for the Dometic AC/HP controller. That's the only other component on that wall.
