Removing a wall thermostat is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. It is important to follow the steps carefully to avoid damaging the thermostat or the wall.
Before you begin, turn off the power to the thermostat at the circuit breaker. This will prevent you from getting shocked. Once the power is off, you can remove the cover plate from the thermostat. There will be two screws that hold the cover plate in place. Remove the screws and set them aside.
