Bryant Builders Thermostat

[stjohnson]

I want to change my existing Bryan builders model thermostat with a programmable thermostat. I can't seem to get cover off of the Bryant thermostat. I am sure that it is simple but I thought it would just snap on. Any suggestions on how to get the cover off?

call a hvac pro you will be glad you did

If you're having problems already, call your installing company and have them sell you and install a new t-stat.

I have installed programmable thermostats before without any problems. I am sure that I can figure it out. I have no problem paying for professional service but when I can I do things on my own. It seems the only answer I get is call an HVAC person. Thanks anyway.

If you are going to replace it anyways just give it a good yank
They are cheap stats so you wont lose much if it breaks
Also try pulling from the bottom up.
and remember
TURN THE POWER OFF
Good luck

Thanks, Scott, That is what I thought was to give it a good yank on the cover. I kind of figured it was cheap when I found it on-line and it was called 'builder's model'. Anything with a name like that means cheap. By the way I am a 'safety nut' and always make sure I disconnect any power. Thanks again.
