Honeywell thermostats are great for controlling the heating and cooling of a room while managing energy consumption. However, we need to reset the device if the power fails or the wifi network changes or the programmable schedule becomes unwieldy. Below we have discussed the step by step guide for the most popular Honeywell thermostat models. Once reset, make sure to program it the way you want because the default settings may not be suitable for your home.

To find out the correct manual for your thermostat first, you need to find your thermostat’s model number. The model number is printed on the back of the faceplate. It can be removed by unscrewing it or pulling or grasping it. Sometimes the model number is also available on the interface.
