Choosing Location for the New Thermostat
Thermostat should be mounted:
• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from floor.
• Near or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct-work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
• Near a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading outside.
• With exposure to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or other temperature-radiating objects which
may cause false readings.
• Near or in direct airflow from supply registers and return-air grills.
• Near concealed pipes and chimneys.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
After choosing a location for the new thermostat, you must arrange to have a heating contractor install the
control wiring for you.
