  2. Flip the thermostat itself over and look for the model number, which should be printed somewhere on the back of the case. Thermostat model numbers all begin with T," "TH," "RTH" "C," or "CT." Oftentimes, there will be a "Y" in front of the model number.

  3. Check the model number from your thermostat with the list of thermostats on the Honeywell website (see Resources). Each model also has a picture beside it so you can also identify your thermostat visually.
