Relocating Thermostat

[92Bowtie]

I am going to relocate my wall thermostat and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get the wire up thru the wall to my new location ??

  Are you pushing the thermostat wire, through insulation, or is it an open wall ? Obviously, if going though insulation, this will add to the challenge. Sometimes a coat hanger, straightened out, will push through quite nicely....providing you dont run into any crossers.............good luck !!

If it is too difficult they make a wireless thermostat.

Actually where i want to put it is in the hallway on an inside wall so don`t think there will be any insulation but i will have to come up from under the house.

Home Depot sells really long, flexible self-feeding drill bits designed for electricians doing exactly what you need to do. I have also gotten by by simply removing the base molding and cutting small holes into the wall where it will get covered when the molding is replaced.

That is actually the way i am looking at now cutting a small hole in the wall at the base below the baseboard and covering it back up.

Hey,

If your hallway is in the center of your house this would be a good place to put it.You should place it 5' above the floor.
