Braeburn Thermostat Manuel: Common Questions

Braeburn Themostat Manual: How to find your Model Number?

Understanding the specific model number of your Braeburn thermostat is crucial for various reasons, particularly when it comes to maintenance, repair, and ensuring compatibility with other systems. The model number serves as a key identifier, revealing important details about the features and specifications of your thermostat, which can be immensely helpful in troubleshooting and when seeking support or replacement parts.

Moreover, knowing your thermostat's model number is essential for compatibility purposes. It helps in determining whether your device can seamlessly integrate with other smart home systems or requires certain types of batteries or sensors. This knowledge is particularly beneficial if you plan to upgrade your home's heating and cooling systems or incorporate smart home technology.

To locate the model number of your Braeburn thermostat, you'll need to access the back of the device. This is typically done by gently removing the faceplate of the thermostat. In most cases, the faceplate can be easily detached without the need for tools, allowing you to access the information label on the back. On this label, you'll find the model number prominently displayed, usually alongside other vital information such as serial numbers and technical specifications. It's a good practice to note down this model number and keep it handy for future reference, whether for ordering spare parts, calling for technical support, or simply for your personal records.

How to program a Braeburn thermostat?

The programming feature of a smart thermostat is incredibly useful. As the exact features of each thermostat vary we recommend you review the specific model's instructions in the Braeburn thermostat manuals above. The general steps to programming your thermostat are below.

  1. Press the “Prog” button.
  2. In order to select “Cool” or “Heat”, press the “System” button until it lands on the desired setting. You could also simply move the switch if your thermostat has one.
  3. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the time and temperature you need for each time slot.
  4. Click “Return” when you’re done.

How do I replace a Braeburn thermostat battery?

Battery-operated thermostats require special care, as the batteries need to be changed from time to time. If you neglect the batteries when they need changing, your thermostat can malfunction and become quite ineffective.

Luckily, the process of changing the batteries is a simple one. All you need is some new batteries and a pair of hands. Here is how you can change the batteries in your Braeburn thermostat quickly and easily:

  1. Pull the body of the thermostat from the base.
  2. Locate the batteries on the back of the thermostat body and remove them.
  3. Install a new set of matching batteries. They must be “AA” type alkaline batteries.
  4. Push the body of the thermostat back in place.

How to set a Braeburn thermostat?

  1. Push the “Date/Time” button to set the correct date and time. First choose the hour, then the minutes, and then the day of the week. Do so by pressing the arrows. When you’ve made the first selection, press the “Date/Time” button again to move on to the next one.
  2. Push the button that says “Fan” to select your fan setting. “Auto” means the fan will turn on when the HVAC is running, while “On” will leave the fan on all the time. “Circ” means the fan will turn on and off at 24 minute intervals. “Prog” means the fan will run when it’s programmed to run.
  3. Press “Return” for 4 seconds. You will see your settings on the screen. You can still adjust them using the arrows.

Braeburn Thermostat Manual: How do I reset the device?

Resetting a thermostat means erasing the current program, personalized settings, and time. Each Braeburn thermostat has a small pin-shaped hole in the front face which when pushed with a safety pin or toothpick triggers the reset.

Upgrading to a Smart Thermostat

Upgrading your older Braeburn thermostat to a smart model can help make your life easier and also save you money in the long run.

Models like the BlueLink 7305 & 7320 let you control the temperature with your voice or through an app on your phone.

The app even adjusts your home's temperature automatically based on where you are, making sure it's cozy when you arrive and saving energy when you're not home.

Reporting

Plus, the new thermostats can even help you understand your energy use better with detailed reports.

They're also easy for your contractor to check remotely, which can save you money on service calls.

All these features make it worthwhile to switch to a newer, smarter model.

Details on the latest smart Braeburn models are available here.

    I am an employee of this company and provide technical support for all our thermostats. I can say that much of the information on this page is incorrect or misleading. For example “resetting the thermostat”, in order to reset the unit you only need to press the reset button using a toothpick or similar. No need to put into heat mode or raise and lower the temperature. The instructions for programming are also misleading. You do not press the Day/Time button at any point while programming a schedule. The Day/Time button is only used for setting the clock.

      Apologies for the inaccuracies Tony. I’ve reviewed and updated the instructions above.

      My landlord just installed a Braeburn thermostat and ever since my electric bill has went from $70 to over $400. The wiring to the HVAC is not color coded. Is there a way that he hooked it up to have the AC and heat to try and kick on at the same time?
