you can do whatever you want to the t-stat before you install it.just dont forget to turn the emergency switch off..and if you have enough wire cut off the existing wire that was stripped so you dont have any problems with them breaking if someone stripped them wrong.

when those old mercury t-stats get old they are not real reliable anymore id change it out for a new digital one.youll be happy you did just remamber to shut off the power before you change it out.

The well is approximately 25years old.my dad had it cleaned or whatever you call it maybe in 1991.not sure if it has a point it has a jet pump with 3/4 "black polly pipe coming from the crawl space not sure what they used for the well .my dad said it was like 12' down ,he dug the hole so they...

just a thought do you have room for an attic fan they can help reduce alot of heat.

if the basement is going to be finished put in a small return down there in the middle of the room if possible.

also check the supply line where the 1/4" pipe comes into your humidifier there is usally a screen there it could be clogged.

i dont have much experience with these but we did have to order a specific t-stat for the unit we put in.

i second that real nice equipment,it is also nice to work on.most if not all the 90% furnaces i have installed suggest you have the furnace in a conditoned space.meaning somewhere the pipes wont freeze because they do produce condensation and alot of it.I dont understand why your existing pvc...

is it just an air handler or are you using it with the electric heat kit ?i would assume the tolerances would be different.

that pipe is suppose to be insulated,and by the looks of it your in a basement or garage,an unconditioned area.which gets very hot in the summer and causes more condensation to build up on that pipe.which is considered the suction line,i would clean it up and insulate it all the way up to the...

and dont forget to shut your emergency switch off before you begin so you dont cause more problems.

yes set it up for number 5

First wire it with white wire to W,Green To G,yellow to Y,red to R and Rc jumped together,and now blue to c .make sure you have an 80% furnace.do you have metal pipe as the flue or white pvc?if its pvc its a 90%.and set up the t-stat accordingly if you dont it wont work correctly.and dont worry...
