@Dablkwid0w2008 I turned mine down too far, and it snapped right off. I found that by taking the cover off, I can manually turn the dial...but I have no idea what the temperature setting is. Time to switch it per this video. I had the old mechanical dial, and it would be nice to have a programmable one that turns on while I am still comfy cozy under the covers about 10 minutes before getting up for my shower.

Nice video, I happen to have a similar old model. BUT try to find a thermostat made in USA. I didn't at either HD or Lowes. And some had energy star logo & some didn't despite being same models.

How ever u like to install it as long as u could reach it

In the video the thermostat is located 60" above the floor, but I believe it should be 48". Could someone confirm the proper height a thermostat is to be located? I'm from Vancouver BC, Canada and am having a hard time getting an answer. Thanks.

Good basic video. I like the step-by-step, and the man's voice is easy to listen to. Thank you for the video.

The thermostat may work when the power goes off, but the furnace itself would need electricity to operate its fans, even if it's a gas furnace. (The gas combustion provides heat, but electricity is needed to operate the fans to blow the heat throughout your home.) In my own case, I have a gas furnace, but have a small propane heater (one of the ones rated safe for indoor use) to use during power outages.
