When the batteries in a Honeywell thermostat die completely, the screen goes completely blank, and the unit loses its ability to communicate low-voltage relay signals to your furnace or air conditioner. Consequently, your HVAC system will shut down or stop responding to environmental temperature changes, leaving your home unconditioned. Verification: Check that the display turns back on and system communication is restored immediately after inserting fresh batteries.
