Thermostat Wiring

  • Today I want to talk about how simple a thermostat really is how the common and hot wire goes to a transformer, how you tie the white wire for the heat strip, connect the green wire which controls the indoor blower and the yellow wire (compressor) directly with each other from the thermostat in the event you have a an emergency where your thermostat goes bad, you can use the system in the heating cycle by tying the red wire, the yellow wire and the green wire together in an emergency situation or if the outdoor heat pump is not working you can tie together the white wire, the green wire, and the red wire. In the summertime for cooling you would tie the yellow wire, the red wire, and the Green wire together. If you have any questions please visit our website or check out our other videos on this and many other HVAC topics.
    Thanks for watching!

    Thank you, so much! I changed the thermostat 2 months ago and realized that I hadn’t connected the heat element wire! I took pictures of my old thermostat and the”W” was hidden; I assumed it was the ground a wire that I didn’t need! It’s been cold this week and if it weren’t for your video , I would’ve called a someone to check our unit because the fan was working but no heat! 🙏🏼 thank you! My home is warm and cozy

    I just want to stop by and say thank you. I'm doing a self install on a Goodman 4 ton Package unit with a new wifi thermostat. The control board told me everything was working properly but the fan would not engage. So I followed your direction (testing) and sure enough it was a bad brand new thermostat..Now I get $100 back on the return and paid $27 for a different non wifi thermostat. Once again thank you..

    Great Video. It is nice to know that so many viewers picked up on the "Missing Orange Wire" in the cooling section. I take it that most unit's reversing valves come in the "Heat Position." Just trying to learn a little bit about the workings of a heat/cooling pump. FR

    Best vid I have seen. Wish you had mentioned Rheem and Ruud and where to connect reversing valve wire (normally orange) since their reversing valve works backwards from other mfg. In other mfg heat pumps it energizes the reversing valve in the cooling mode but with Rheem and Ruud it energizes the reversing valve in the heating mode.

    I broke my heat pump. 😢. Never had a heat pump and in first winter the outdoor unit was running and running so I turned it to emergency heat and when weather improved no compressor running on heat or cold , had a lock compressor 2000 D to get fixed. I wish I had watched this before. THANKS for sharing your knowledge.

    GREAT Video! I don't know if someone else said this! HOWEVER, at 6:19 "For Cooling" IF the system has a "Reversing Valve" Wire Color Orange (labeled "O") you need to add that wire also together with the "Yellow, Green, and Red" If not the system will work but blow out warm air due to the "Reversing Valve" not activating. So for "COOLING" twist together the "Yellow, Green, Orange and Red".
