Upgrading your thermostat without changing the wiring depends on the compatibility of the new thermostat with your existing wiring configuration. Many modern thermostats, especially smart thermostats, require a C-wire (common wire) for continuous power. If your current setup does not have a C-wire, you might need to rewire or use an adapter. However, if the new thermostat matches your existing wiring setup, you can upgrade without additional wiring changes. It’s essential to consult the thermostat’s installation manual and possibly a professional to ensure compatibility and safe installation.
