HVAC (Thermostats)

This is my third air conditioning tutorial. This one is about thermostats, or should I say, the Honeywell VisionPro 8000. Thank God and Honeywell.

Attention: Do not try any of what you see in this video at home. It takes at least two years of HVACR schooling to become qualified to learn in the field how to work on heating and air conditioning equipment. Then it takes another three years of apprenticeship training to become competent enough to safely work on heating and air conditioning equipment.

@ethanr432 Thanks. Few if anyone understands what I meant by that statement. WIlliamSledd is a gay youtuber that has videos showing off his favorite underwear.

That is a nice thermostat, and I've been around them before, but I have a brand preference to White Rodgers. I have had White Rodgers in my house for 10 years now, and no problems, and the WR 80 series thermostats virtually DO NOT fail according to testing. I've also found that White Rodgers stats tend to be more accurate than Honeywell, especially the Honeywell PRO 3000.

Still though, great, informative video though! Nice work!

@84randomdude Thanks for your input.

Would someone anyone show how the wiring is done correctly before the programs I have a black/gray wire, orange wire, & blue with no lettering for them.

[DrZarkloff]

@triniann2757 If you have only three wires going to your thermostat, you might want to consider installing a Honeywell IAQ.

@DrZarkloff your welcome.  :)

Dr. Z: How about a video explaining the thermostat swing setting and the pros and cons of adjusting it one way or another?

These are great especially when using on a HP system with a fossil fuel back up. In my area oil and gas back up is fairly common and oil is still big here although fading from popularity.

@triniann2757 Low voltage wiring in HVAC generally follows a standard color code with terminal designations. Not all manufacturers stick to it religiously. Check the schematic to be sure. The colors of your stat wire are odd... some other strands might be tucked back inside the wall. Standard colors are (in order, 18/2 thru 18/8): red, white, green, yellow, blue, brown, orange, black. Pulling a new wire isn't too difficult and would be cheaper than buying an IAQ.
