THP2400A1027W White Coverplate Assembly

perfect match for the Honeywell home thermostat.

I have had a honeywell programmable thermostat for about 10 years now..it served me well and replaced an old mercury White-Rodgers thermostat. That old thermostat was huge but luckily the Honeywell thermostat was pretty big too..fast forward 10 years and Santa dropped off a Honeywell Smart thermostat (RTH9585WF1004) for me..I was shocked at how small it was when I opened the box..pictures made it look bigger. So after mounting the thermostat it bothered me to see the other old mounting holes and mismatched paint. I did a Google search to see what my options were and came across people mentioning a coverplate. A quickly search on Amazon led me here. Of course it didn't mention my model thermostat but it looked like the right size but luckily the other reviews calmed my doubts. My only gripe is that I can't seem to find the grey version. Nothing wrong with white but I feel like grey would've looked better.Nonetheless the package comes with two sizes. For me the small was big enough to cover the old paint and mountings holes but the other bigger plate should cover all but the most extreme cases. Nonetheless great cover. If you're in doubt about what lies under your old thermostat I would go ahead and order this along with your smart thermostat. Better to have it than not have it because if you end up needing it that means ordering it, waiting on it and then installing it which means cutting the power, yanking the newly installed thermostat back off the wall, unhooking all the wires and unscrewing the mounting plate and then adding the coverplate, lining up the mounting plate on the coverplate and reattaching everything. Not a hard job but more work than necessary when you can just add the plate when you install your new thermostat the first time. Even if it isn't needed it looks good. I'm not sure why it isn't included in the box with the thermostat. I believe the T series thermostats come with coverplates so come on Honeywell throw them in the box for ALL of your smart thermostats.Ignore the anchors in my pic. Those are the remnants of a locking thermostat cover that was installed with the old mercury thermostat. Nothing would cover those since the cover was so big. But all the other imperfections and mismatches paint were covered perfectly by the coverplate making it all look neater even with the remaining anchors showing

Super easy to install, especially if you have a box in the wall. You'll see in these pictures how the new thermostat was smaller than the old, leaving the old, dark paint color visible. There are two different sized plates included, I used the smaller one.To install:Hold the plate in place, make sure it covers everything you need it to. If not, use the larger plate.Put the rear thermostat mounting plate on topInsert the screwsLevel the outer plate **AND**Level the thermostat plate. There is enough wiggle room you need to level both.Tighten the screwsPut the thermostat onThat's it!An easy job that makes a big difference in appearance.

We had our furnaces and thermostats replaced one or two years ago and the old thermostats were different.So when they remove them from the wall there was not only damage but areas were it wasn't painted.This kit comes with two different sizes and I almost ordered two kits to get the larger plates. However, this actually worked out perfectly by only ordering one kit, I used the larger backplate in our living room and the smaller backplate for the upstairs bedroom. So ordering one kit with suffice in this instance.It's cheap plastic so in all reality this should probably be cheaper than what it is. However, it does appear that you could easily paint these covers. They're actually appears to be another kit on Amazon that looks identical to this... And in all reality is probably made in the same factory / location.As of right now I'm happy with the look and you can no longer see the damage or mismatch paint behind the thermostat. I should have done this sooner.For some silly reason I didn't take before pictures which I should have... The last picture you can kind of see the red paint behind the new thermostat.Also make sure you turn the breaker off when you're messing with the thermostat especially since you're going to be unplugging the wires from it.

So far, been running in my house for a month. The unit looks good and works perfectly. Zero issues. This is an excellent choice for a low cost and easy to install upgrade. The app works great and from anywhere. Some people complained that the touchscreen wasn't very responsive..... It is responsive but I could be better. I'd guess I have about an 85% success rate of selecting a feature from the touch screen. But hey, if it's a problem, the app works great. This is a good unit to purchase.

When I removed the old thermostat, there was a hole in the sheet rock where the wiring previously came out. The larger plate that came with this kit covered the hole perfectly ! It took longer to go in the attic snd turn the power off than it took to install the cover plate. Problem solved !

Works great!

There is a reason no avoid universal fit products if the OEM equivalent is available. This fits the Honeywell thermostat perfectly and has different options to cover the sins of previous installations
