Temperature Controller, 2 Wire Room Thermostat Heating Thermostat Digital Thermostat with Large Screen LCD Display Wall Hanging for Control Room Temperature (White)

Product Information

W2 is designated for two-stage heating. Most heat pumps include second-stage heating and require the white W2 wire. Orange Wire For O And Dark Blue Wire For B (“O/B” Wire) Alternate Step 3). In many systems with AC, including AC-only systems, the Y wire from the air handler is the cooling input. If you have tried the 3-wire steps suggested above and your AC doesn’t work, connect the Y wire to the Y terminal to see if that solves the issue. You might have to go to the air handler (could be a furnace) to locate the color of the wire on the Y terminal there. Note: If the Y wire is running outside to the condensing unit, this is a clear indication that it is the wire you need. Connect it to the Y terminal in your thermostat, and there’s a good chance your problem will be solved. The two-wire circuitry makes the thermostat fully compatible with all low-voltage (24V) heating systems and single-stage gas and oil systems. On top of all, the thermostat is compatible with hydronic systems (including hot water, baseboard, and radiator).

As you may already know, thermostats are available for line voltage heating systems (like a baseboard heater) and low voltage heating systems (like a gas furnace or heat pump). They can not be used interchangeably owing to myriad technical reasons. Just like this, a ‘2 wire thermostat’ can be either a line voltage model (operating at 120 V or 240 V) or a low voltage model (operating at 24 volts). As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, you don’t always need a technician for thermostat wiring but you’ll need to do things right to not mess up the whole thing. Below, we will explain some mistakes you must never make during thermostat wiring: Not reading the manual Even though the single pole wiring diagram is the most popular, there are others such as the double pole thermostat wiring diagram and the duo therm thermometer wiring diagram.

Here is the Honeywell Home RTH9600 Smart Thermostat, which is Energy Star Certified and can save you some power and give personalized/customized energy saving tips by analyzing your usage. You can also participate in the ongoing energy-saving programs.If it works, and it should, you’re done. If it doesn’t, we recommend turning the circuit off again and calling a local HVAC company to complete the job.

Smart thermostats:ecobee, nest and a few other smart/learning/WiFi thermostats also require 4 wire thermostat wiring. We now know ‘what exactly is a 2 wire thermostat’.
