Don't trust the color. It depends on your installer

@killer2600 4 ай бұрын

This...when installing a replacement thermostat all that matters is where on the old thermostat the wire was connected. Thermostat terminals are more standardized than the wire colors.

True,copper is copper the color coating just helps to get from point A to B . When you see a black or brown being used and a color not being used or cut short then that explains it Unless you wanna be a evil person and change all the colors and make it hell for a new tech or a senior tech get an heart attack

So much wrong here. W is call for heat. Does not matter if it's electric or gas. G is fan on/off, it dose not change speed, that's done on the control board in the unit. Y is not for the "compressor", it's call for cooling, a separate wire goes from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. C is common, but not all thermostats require it, most run on alkaline batteries.

I had a problem I have an electric heater but I couldn’t plug it in my W wire because when I did and turned the cool on it blew out hot air only so I read up and it said to plug it into the O/B wire and it started blowing cool is this normal.

@threestans9096 11 ай бұрын

y is technically compressor contactor for cooling. c is common and many res does need it when code calls for it to be hardwired as well as battery. g is blower fan relay. w is heat valve or relay for heating. o is heat pump energized in cooling b is heat pump energized in heating..

What if you have a black wire and no brown wire?

@DJV94022 2 ай бұрын

Florida people: The units are called heat pumps R-24volts C- negative (-)blue wire Y-to kick on your compressor/heatpump outside unit W-heat strips (winter time) O- when it gets 24v from the thermostat it goes into cooling mode (if you own a rheem or rude ignore this) G- is to turn on your indoor unit (blower) Black and brown are extra wires If you have different colors being used on a good running unit dont question it.. if its different its for a reason sometimes in the 500feet roll of thermostat wire factorys sell the roll with broken wires or in new construction the wires get caught with a nail or drywall people destroy the wires somewhere So mostly it takes 6 wires to run the air conditioner 2 extra wires for additional equipment or broken or damaged wires

I just bought a new home and the thermostat drives me crazy because when I try to turn it off the the only two fan settings are off or automatic so the fan is always one. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it

@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens Жыл бұрын

BUT what is that second white wire that is going from RH to RC?? I have a 2nd red wire doing the same thing????

@DeaninItYourself Жыл бұрын

its just a jumper cable that connect the Heating and the cooling circuit, this is used so that the thermostat can switch between heat and cool and you dont need to run a separate wire back to your air handler.

@julianperez-robles6921 Жыл бұрын

I have one red wire from the wall but on my thermostat there a red small wire running from R to Rc and idk why?

@DeaninItYourself Жыл бұрын

It is a jumper cable so that heating and cooling have power. That is normal.

Yikes hes right on where to put ‘em if they’re labeled right, sometimes you can have 2 red and white wires and ppl wouldn’t know. He’s describing this all wrong. Unless you have an ecobee thermostat (only ones I’ve seen so far) where you need to actually go inside the furnace and put your thermostat into their wires and then plug that into your thermostat terminals on your furnace. Your best bet is just buy one that’s simple and take a picture and do one wire at a time
