Live in NC. Snow and ice storm. Power out for about 2.5 hours now. First floor thermostat is making a noise like an alarm. Put batteries in. Took batteries out. Can't figure out how to get it to stop or what it means. It's a Honeywell thermostat.
Any ideas? Upstairs thermostat not doing it but that's on a separate HVAC system. Thanks.
Find the brand/model of thermostat, then go to the manufacturer's web site and see if you can find the owner's manual / instructions. (On many manufacturer's web sites under Support.) Read them.
I keep all instruction manuals myself. Important stuff filed in file cabinet folders under the type of each gizmo.
After about fifteen minutes of an annoyance alarm like that, I would have ripped it from the wall and stomped on it. There is no excuse for designing electronics with insistent alarms like that for non-life-threatening warnings. Po baby thermostat, didja power go out on you? Awww, there there. No screaming. Daddy doesn't like screaming from non-sentient objects. See this hammer? Do you really want to continue screaming, or is now a good time for your battery to run out and your capacitors quickly discharge? Still screaming? Mr. Honeywell, meet Mister Hammer. Thank-you Mr. Hammer. You rarely fail to make an impression.
