- Basic thermostat wiring for furnace and air conditioner. I show where the wires go at the thermostat, the color code, then down at the furnace control board, and how to wire up the wires coming from the AC condenser unit outside, from the contactor. Here is the basic color coding that is explained in the video:
Red: Power (24v)
Yellow: Cooling (AC)
Green: Fan
White: Heating (Furnace)
C: 24v Common or Neutral

You are an excellent teacher and video producer. You don't skip over details and you explain what you are doing well. HVAC schools need instructors of your caliber.
In that the truth. Have seen many make senerios Jay has explained very confusing, or they over explain when we haven't been fully introduced to the thermostat wiring to control board etc.
Jay in this video and the complete wiring for the condenser unit video , has given me a much better understanding of the thermostat to control board , and then control board to other contactor coils and relay coils that pull in plungers to allow the higher voltage go through to the respectable meters as to what they do. He did an excellent illustration of the complete condenser/outside unit , where now the other part falls into place better. Also really clear how he did the wiring of thermostat to control board and the two wires from control board to the side of contactor for the condenser/outside unit. Jay would definitely be a great instructor in HVAC, really appreciate and enjoy his videos on this stuff!
Wow. You saved me time, money and effort. You are the ONLY video that describes both sides: the thermostat and the A/C board connections. Your sample display made it so easy to understand. Thank you for your expertise and ingenuity. I am a grateful DIY home owner.
You saved me a $300 HVAC Tech charge... Wired my new Thermostat and troubleshoot/replace the condenser capacitor. Clear and Concise. THANKS ! 👍👍👍
This video is really helpfull. I'm studying hvac and 2 weeks ago I learned how to wire a thermostat. Thanks for share all your knowledges and I hope some day being a good hvac technician in USA 🇺🇸. I really love this profession.
This dude should write for the" for dummies" books I watch all his videos for a/c makes everything simple and understandable with all needed detail to eliminate second guessing your understanding of topic. Truley gifted teacher
Dis dude better than my hvac professor.
Of course this dude is better then I HVAC Professor. What professor teaches and this guy actually does it big difference just because you can teach someone how to fix computer doesn't mean that you actually know how to fix it how to fix computers that I can easily teach someone how to fix it just because I can teach someone how to fix a computer I know how to fix it big difference
No cap
This dude Is my HVAC professor lol
💯

Hello J.
My family and I are so grateful for all you do passing on your knowledge. You really helped us out in this recent cold spell. Word of Advice is most definitely one of the best HVAC channels on UA-cam.
Thanks so much!! We're landlords, and we can now diagnose hvac issues and fix most problems ourselves, thanks to your easy to understand videos. This saves us money, and saves our tenants many hot days and cold nights waiting for a repairman.
THANK YOU!! Remodeled hallway this winter, installed new thermostat, old one must have ran heat & cool from one wire. Installed jumper and boom! Thanks again!!!
Thank you very much for this good video appreciate your time and knowledge. Wanted to ask you or if anyone can help, was going to extend the cable and move the thermostat, when I went to purchase thermostat wire, there were many different sizes, how can I know what size is the right size for my thermostat. Thanks again.
My old wires to furnace was old 3 wires cable, and since my old thermostat broke from battery leaking, i bought a new thermostat from gas utility company since they offered me big huge energy saving credit of $50. Fancy wifi controlled thermostat for just $19 after the credit. However, what I didn't know, it doesn't work with old 3 wire cable. I needed to install 5 wires cable. I had no idea how to do it, but after watched your instruction. Yaa, I managed to snake a new cable I bought from Home Depot, and was able to connect property in furnace. Thans a lot.
I most humble myself and say yes a lot of times you’ve helped me and my father as well and I actually committed on some work am doing on his furnace now and I need to swap out the furnace thermostat but you’ve made it easier to understand because I went for a electric trade but never benefited from the learning but am now seeing the benefits of the knowledge joining it together to repair mishaps at my Father’s house but thank you for passing it forward.
great job! You are the only person I've see that explained the RC is for power to cooling and RH is power to heating. Very nice details.
He's the man.... No fumbling around with jargon that makes people feel inferior or like they need years of schooling before grasping these basic concepts. Straight to the point- and gotta 'each-one teach-one' attitude about it all. Not stingy with his knowledge whatsoever. Love it.
Hey man what you just said is probably one of the best things I’ve heard because a lot of this industry tries to make things way more complicated for no reason to make themselves feel good while it’s not the most easy thing in the world to do it’s certainly not as complicated as people try to make it
@@keithshaw9314 Y'all both expressed what I've felt since getting into the trade a couple years ago. I've heard, "those that can't do, teach." I think it works the same the other way around. Met a lot of people who are skilled in the trades that simply can't explain or properly train, but somehow are in leadership positions. I don't get it...

Real helpful video. I am studying HVAC. And learning how to connect T-Stats, transformers , relays and fans. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Video was simple yet very understanding and played out perfectly. Keep it up
Thank you very much for this video. I cleaned my blower and accidently yanked off one of the contactor wires. This video helped get everything back and running. Thanks again you are awesome!!!
Great video showing explicity the wiring among the thermostat, hvac board and the condenser. No other video I saw shows that detail. Tx.
Glad you liked the video! Thank you for commenting!
I am a technician and I learn more from your UA-cam than school. Thank you for your lesson.
After watching your video, I was able to correct the wiring of the thermostat and control board. Now my HVAC is working again. You are the man!!!!!!
of all the vids I watched on how the board should be wired, this one demonstration is worth quite a lot since he has his displays... excellent diction... easy to fool... right on!
Thanks for this video! After messing around with my new AC install for a few days, getting some inaccurate advice, your video set me straight. Great explanation!
Very good illustration of how its wired up. Thank You Sir!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with a clear and concise explanation
You’re a lifesaver bro! I mixed my wires up and you saved the day!
I absolutely love your videos and I look forward to and watch every single one of them. You are the only person who would take the time to fully and clearly explain/show how things work in such awesome detail. Thank you for your efforts!
Thank you!! I am glad you enjoy the videos! I hope what you get out of the videos will come in useful for you one day! Stay cool! ;)
Yes on the CA glue. It works like a charm on sealing up cuts.
I like your videos. They're informative without a bunch of elementary bs I find on other how to channels.
Thank you so much for this video and the info in it. It helped me tremendously with the installation of my new thermostat. I have 4 wires but 2 are white and 2 are red. There is nothing in the documentation that discussed what the various color terminals relate to. Once I was able to identify which of the 4 wires did what I used your red, yellow, green, white & blue identifier for proper wire connections. Thanks again!
I like how you take your time and explain how everything works!!!
I LIKE HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND USE THE 3 ITEMS TO GIVE ME A GOOD VISUAL
Glad you liked the video! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for this particular video. You literally saved me several hundred dollars. After studying this video I was able to complete this replacement DIY.
Saving this great video for when I need to replace my thermostat. Thanks so much for taking the troubles for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Dora! Glad you liked the video! :)
?@@WordofAdviceTV
Is this also for electric furnace
Thanks really simplified this connect for me was having issues hooking up a new thermostat for my mom but this got me on the right track. So thanks!!! 🙂🙂
You made my life so much easier. Thanks for explaining it so simply.
The way you explained things, you’re made it very easy to understand. I wish you were my instructor.😊
Great video. At the end the super glue trick-I have done this and it works good as long as it is not an area that gets stretched a lot like a knuckle. Bonus use for super glue is if you have a cavity but can’t get to a dentist. Have someone apply it to the cavity and let it dry. It will only last about a day but is a life saver if in pain.
Thanks a lot for your videos. I’m new to my hvac career and you explain these clearly to me .
Another great, no BS video done by a great instructor. My “”seasoned” albeit faithful 2008 Heat Pump system, which came with house, has a newer replacement Thermostat. It works, has fresh batteries and no issues. I’m always educating myself for the inevitable failure on the coldest or hottest day of the year. Question: My Thermostat has the following terminal labels: From Top Right Hand Side Down: Y2, Y1, B/O, G, C, RC, RH, W1, W2, and then S1, S2, S3. Some jibe with the video but Im curious as to the disparity. Thanks again, for all you do! And I’m so thankful you chose your current profession over Accounting!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! I'm going to install a humidifier controller and I wanted a good understanding of thermostat, furnace, and A/C wiring before I started. Thanks much for posting :-)
I like the way you explain things simple and straight to the point... awesome 👍
I worked as an instrument tech for 20 years in a chemical factory. Lots of opportunities to get nicked and cut.
Used superglue all the time to make skin repairs.
Also is great for wintertime skin cracking. The pain is almost always immediately relieved and the glue helps you heal quicker.
Wonderful! I just got my air conditioning up and running again per your instructions...thanks a million!
Great video - thanks! Very helpful for those not familiar with these basic concepts.
Thank you! You've give me more info than I've seen in the past 2 days! I'm gettin' 'er done today!
Your videos are absolutely the best! Thank you! Thank you!
Thankyou jay. I just fixed a problem with a loose wire. What a difference now, enjoying the heater.
Okay I never comment on videos but I stumbled across this while looking up a DIY project and this guy is amazing!! Really well put together.
Thanks alot! This helped my mom replace our broken thermostat! Saved for summer!
I will say, I know nothing about how an air conditioner works. But you did an amazing job of explaining it and I was able to understand.
Thanks for sharing your knlodge on HVAC. This help me on my work. Great. Thanks For everything you do. Regards from Reynosa, Mexico.💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Miguel! I see you again :) Hard to forget greetings from Mexico heh. Glad to hear my videos are helping you out! Good luck with your career over there, I hope you will make it big soon!
Super glue works great, especially on those painful fingernail rips or gashes. Thank you for the very detailed look at the thermostat. Just bought a used rv and they installed new thermo incorrectly😐hope we get it working, it's getting cold out there brrrr
Thanks for your videos. In the medical field we use sterile super glue (Dermabond). This is processed in a sterile fashion. The glue that we buy at the store is with no care if is exposed to bacteria or germs. So one must be careful in using super glue on your cuts. You could actually be introducing bacteria to the wound. There are sterile super glue that you can buy in the first aid section of many stores. This is a better choice.
Thank you for the additional information!
@@WordofAdviceTV thank the girls thank the kids and I are all excited about you all
Yes, but is super glue toxic?
Never put it in a cut. But I've glued closed cuts that had tissue squeezing out. And it saved me a doctors bill. Clean wound; used betadine, wiped with alcohol, squeezed closed wound, then smeared on super glue and waited for it to dry. Then the wound was closed for about 3 days till I needed to reapply. Worked perfectly, lol
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Wtf are you talking about!!!
DUDE!!!! YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. WIRED UP THE NEW THERMOSTAT AND THE HEATER IS WORKING!!!! THANKS!!!
This is a GREAT video. Love the control board and AC outside clarity. WOW! Like
Very clear instructions, thank you.
Thank you Jay! Another educational video from you again. More power💪
Glad to hear that! :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well done he explains everything perfectly 👍🏻
Wish I would have seen this video last week. Thanks for showing the wiring.
Just found your channel, good stuff!! From what I've so far it's been gas heat. Do you have anything on Hydro Air systems, oil fired plus AC?
Best explanation I have seen! Thank you
Thank you. This simple instructional video is exactly what I needed.
Very helpful, thank you!
Great illustration!
I have used superglue on cuts for the past 20 years. I’ve figured I’ve saved myself thousands of dollars in stitches.
Man you explained it the way I learnt it in school
Nostalgia then 😉
Great great demonstration, very detailing,,,thank you
Great Video, love the way you explain in details. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
With the rapid movement in technology, it would amazing to see a video on ecobee. Btw thank you for posting these videos!
That could be another video down the road :) Thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks for your time and expertise for creating these videos for us. You are excellent.
Crystal clear -Great clip
LIKE it
Do a video on where the power comes from to power up the thermostat and how the evaporator motor is wired into the scenario on this video. Thanks. Great Video. Learning more here than school.
Just what I needed to hear, you are great teacher. Thanks for all your advice
Super glue works to stop bleeding but can cause side effects, especially if the wound is deep. Also it doesn't have antibacterial properties. There is a safer product that is used like super glue for wound closure called "Dermabond." This product also has antibacterial properties and is available over the counter in the US and Canada.
Good to know, thanks Johannes! I may need to get some of that to have it on hand just in case..
Super glue, yes it works on cuts and cuts that need stitches. After good natural mending, let dry and neosporin. Many experiences using it. ER use it a lot
Good to know, thank you for confirming the use of super glue! :)
Awesome video and very well explained!!! Thanks.
Great video and explanation!
Great video! Not only were the instructions easy to follow but I learned what each wire does. Thanks for putting it together.
I worked in a machine shop and I've been using super glue for cuts for 40 years. Crazy Glue seems to work the best but you need to apply it pretty quickly or it won't stick very well. If you apply it within one minute then it holds good but you need to open the cut and put the glue inside. It doesn't take much.
as always very educative .thank you regards
Nice! I went through everything myself looking for something obvious, nothing stood out. It ended up the jumper was one key and the other, the plunger wasn't getting pulled down. So I pushed it to test it and it immediately kicked on. It was brand new so for whatever reason it was stuck. Now it works on its own.
Please help!! I have a heat pump and I'm trying to replace my thermostat. I have both a white wire and an orange wire, but only one slot to put them in the thermostat. Do I couple the white and orange wires together in the O/B slot?
thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome attitude, knowledge & teaching skills.
Jay, thanks for this video. I bought
a Honeywell Smart Color thermostat. The old thermostat has batteries, so it's not using a C wire. I guess I have to run a new
wire, so I'll have a common wire,
unless it's tucked inside the wall.
By the way, I miss that "and not in
the comments section below" 😇
Thank you for the explaining
Great video! Thank you so much
Thank you for the information.
Very well explained. Thank you!
Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for the advice just fixed the AC issue you were right THANKS
Just what I needed thanks.
Great stuff. Thanks for the wisdom!
Thanks! Great teaching here.
Great video man thanks
Another great video. You are by far one of the best, if not THE best. 4real. Thank you.
As far as the super glue 😂 I ll try it and let you know. Wooow
Lol, thanks Angelo! Glad you like my videos man! I am fine with at least being on par with the other channels ;)
Very explanatory and very professional
Yes the super glue works great 👍 I was a little ruff coming up as a kid and didn't go to emergency room much I've had several several several tube of super glue used on me
Yes I've tried it and it actually works,... it'll actually hold the wound together for 10 to 12 hours
thanks just what I've been waiting for....
