      Tips

      • If your Honeywell thermostat isn't working properly and it's over ten years old, a reset may not solve your problems, according to Victor Belavus, air conditioning specialist. "If your thermostat is over ten years old, it might be time to replace it, as older thermostats may not be as accurate or efficient."
