Hi,
Not sure if this is something a DIY'er should be attempting to do - I thought it would be more straightforward than it now seem!! Lol...
I live in a condo where we have the old Honeywell thermostat pictured below. I don't know much about our heating / cooling system, but I believe that the condo centrally controls whether the heat or AC is on - and that's really all I know!
When I removed the old thermostat, there are six wires: yellow, red, blue, black, brown, and orange (but connected to a white wire).
Only the orange and yellow wires seem to be connected to the temperature control.
The other wires are connected to the fan speed and master on/off switches.
My new thermostat is also a Honeywell (model RTH7600D1014 - product link below). The back of the thermostat has a number of slots for wiring but none of the codes and the installation instructions make any sense! The install instructions assume you are replacing a 4-wire thermostat.
Thanks!
