I have a Hunter 44250 thermostat connected to a gas furnace and electric AC unit. I can't win the heat or AC to turn on. The AC was working faster this week. I shut off the unit at the thermostat to verbs the coils on the unit outside. Since then I own been unable to start it
I've checked the breakers and the furnace follower is running (it runs continuously)
When I set the thermostat for heat and set the temp well above the room temp, the roast doesn't start and there is no indication on the furnace LED that it is calling for heat.
When I set the Thermostat to cool and drop the desired temp below the room temp also zilch.
There are 4 wires going to the thermostat unit. can I jump any of these to see if the AC will start?
gratefulness in advance

Answers: If you want to determine if the thermostat is doomed to failure, remove the front to expose the mounting plate and wiring. Jumping R-G should start the fan. Jumping R-W should start the furnace. Jumping R-Y should start cooling. Be aware that the indoor follower will not come on when you jump R-Y. Only the outdoor unit will start. If those things do start when jump, then your thermostat has a problem. If nil starts when jumping the wire terminal, then you may have a problem next to the control board in the furnace, which will mean calling out an A/C tech.
Dear God man! :D ... simply call an electrician/AC repair person to come and fix the point before something gets messed up. It will probably be worth it surrounded by the end to call someone out to your place considering how much time and crack you will probably spend trying to figure a way to fix the article yourself.
