HVAC - Honeywell TH2110: Repair and Resurrection Pt. 1

I doubt I'm the first to figure out these kinds of repairs. I may be the first to show it to others on a larger scale (aka the internet). I've been told it's ingenious... and hokey. Regardless, it gets the job done with minimal drama and wasted time.

@towrecker Bosses and customers want results. Git'er done. And, don't use chewing gum and bailing wire to fix it. Make sure the repair is reliable... at least until the warranty expires! I've been tinkering with a couple T8001's...

@gusherb94 I installed a truckload of those 8195's when I was doing add-on. Looking forward to seeing that 1940's stat, especially if it has a mercury thermometer.

@PutSome5tankOnIt I looked up the 8195, they look identical but it doesn't look like the 8195 has a heat anticipator like the 8196 does. I didn't see anything about one in it's installation manual that I found on Honeywell's site. btw i've got a video of my not so common t-stats coming.

@PutSome5tankOnIt I love your reply , and now to think about it , that fix only you would know it anyways , cause repairs of any kind are only seen when there is a prob , so if it works nobody goes a looking and sees it ...who cares what ya do , how you do it fix the prob to last make it look neat , and get the hell out ....check please , and down the road ya go !! can't wait to see what you drag outa the dumpster next lol

@gusherb94 Is that T8196 similar to the T8195Y8224? Good stats, but the thermometers were horribly inaccurate. I'd like to pick up one the really old thermostats with the mercury thermometer. Those things are cool.

@towrecker It's 'redneck', it's hokey, it's cheesey... it also WORKS. I've done it dozens of times in new construction homes. The builder's stuporintendant doesn't care how it looks. All he's concerned with is that the heat and AC is functional. Problem solved, Next call, please.

@PutSome5tankOnIt hmmm what have I got....I've got a 1940s Chronotherm, a 1940s Honeywell rectangle stat, a Carrier t-stat from a 1960 Carrier system, I've also got a NIB T87 100th anniversary edition thermostat, and I've got a couple 40-60s Line voltage Honeywell's. a couple newer not so common models I have are a T874, and a T8196 electromechanical programmable stat.

@gusherb94 I'm always curious to see what else is out there, especially the less common or unusual thermostats. Show'em if ya got'em!

@itscool1968 I don't do electronics. Pinpoint soldering is beyond my scope.
