When does R H = O B?
When does R H = O B? The answer: never!
Oh, what an evening. I was so excited for the two new programs on t.v. tonight, only to spend most of the evening either sweating or freezing as we struggled to get the new thermostat installed.
First, the heater came on when it was on "cold" and the air conditioner came on when the "heat" was on. Whew, it was getting cold in here!
So, we switched two wires and it appeared to work and we thought the stress was over. Wrong!
So, next thing we knew, it was 78 degrees and rising in the house! The heat would not shut off for nothing! It showed on the thermostat that it should shut off at 72 degrees, but right above that it showed it was 78 degrees in the house! What to do! What to do! We turned the whole thing off and started reading some more while waiting for things to cool down.
After many tries of various things over many hours, we finally discovered that the R H wire was hooked to the O B connection. Yes, R H really does = R H, even if it has a wire going over to the R C from it too. Yes, two wires under one connection really does work!
Sigh. I hope this is not a bad sign as to how our week will go.
In the end, I hope that this new tool will save us on energy bills.
