I installed a Honeywell RTH2510/RTH2410 thermostat. All wiring was same as old HW stat. Unit is an indoor electric AC/Heat and new stat will only blow hot air.

What type of system do you have?
If you have a heat pump with a reversing valve you will need to set the thermostat settings for a heat pump. Or it can also be the wiring. Check your setting on the thermostat.

you have to configure the thermostat to run the fan when there is a call for heat. look at the installation instructions and they shoud ask you if it is gas or electric heat if its electric then you are gong to have to configure it to makr e the fan come on with the heat. Good luck

Do you have gas or electric heat. If you have gas then you do not have a heat pump. You should in most cases have a red,yellow, white, and green wires coming to the thermostat. R should go to rc/rh G should go to green Y should go to Y and w should go to W. Also the switches on back should be switched to non heat pump and gas rather than electric. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: No heat after installing honeywell thermostat H8110U

hook up the blue wire in the furnace cabinet where the blower section and the other thermostat wires are connected to the furnace. the thermostat you have uses a common wire from the thermostat to the furnace and this needs to be hooked up in the furnace otherwise you will have the problem you are having.

SOURCE: I Have a honeywell RTH2410 Thermostat I wired it

What was the old thermostat labels and the wire colors that went to them?
The typical heatpump wiring Terminals are:
R = Red = Hot side of Transformer
C-B-X = Common side of transformer Depending on brand of heatpump
Y = Yellow = Cooling Contactor
G = Green = Furnace Blower
O = Orange Reversing Valve Energize to Cool
B = Blue Reversing Energise to Heat Depending on brand of heatpump.
W2 = White = Auxiliary Heat
You need to be sure where each wire comes from when you connect them to the new thermostat.
The best way to do that is to go to the furnace and see where they are connected. R-Y-G are probably correct, you need to see where the Blue wire comes from and determine what the X terminal was on the old thermostat.

My old thermostat has 8 wires and I'm trying to figure out how to install a Honeywell Rth2310b thermostat.

The terminals on the old stat should be basically the same as on the new stat...with a couple exceptions anyway. Note the color of wire on each terminal before removing them and reconnect to the new stat on the same terminals. 8 wires typically indicate a heat pump, so in the configuration menu you'll have to tell it whether to energize the O terminal in cool or not. If you have individual wires on Rc and Rh terminals, you must remove the factory jumper between those two terminals on the new stat. If not, you'll burn out one of the two control transformers or possibly damage your new stat.

In the configuration menu, you'll have to tell it whether its a gas furnace or electric furnace, select the way the fan operates and possibly limit the cycles per hour on both heat and cool modes. There's a lot of subtle entries that need to be done to 'tailor' the new stat to your likings also.

I think it would be best to rely on someone thats a bit familiar with HVAC to change out your stat for you..... as once it is changed, all possible functions of the stat need to be verified as correct in operation.

Installed an rth2510 and installed as labeled on old stat and sounds like my ac nut is buzzing outside, any thought?

question: do you have a multiple thermostat setup in 1 zone? If so check what settings are for your heat on each thermostat. Make sure that the heat is not set higher than the room's temperature.
check what settings are for your cooling on each thermostat. Make sure that the cooling is set accordingly.

if you have multiple thermostats setup in 1 zone. the thermostat with the lowest temperature will reign supreme. The heat setting on that thermostat will be what's causing the buzz on the heater.

optionally, hard reset your thermostat as a precaution. Here's how to do so: there are two types of thermostats i know of programmable and non-programmable.

disable auto & enable manual; however do NOT change settings or power-off t-stat. Remove battery and power down the thermostat until you see nothing on the thermostat monitor; power OFF the switch connected to your t-stat. Remove battery and reinsert inverted, if needed, press whatever button that your heart desires to make sure that nothing is absolutely drawing into that mode, button, etc; wait (5sec-1min); remove batters; wait 1min; then, reinsert batteries in its correct position; if you have a programmable thermostat; do the same with the hit 'reset filter' held down observe if the roomTemp reading has changed.

May I suggest to keep an extra thermometer around to determine if temperature reading accurately?

If reset requires a reprogramming to your t-stat, do whatever required to set your desired setting.

cheers, best of luck. i hope i've helped.

background, doing a hard reset in my opinion is similar to removing the battery from a PC motherboard.

I just bought a honeywell RTH2510/RTH2410. It states that if your old thermostat has Y1 WI & W2 stop and contact a qualified contractor. WHAT? how hard can it be, just need to know what wires go where?

Your system has 2 stages of heat. Therefore you should have a 2 stage tstat. The 2510 is 1heat/1cool, put your w2 wire in with your w1 wire, you will be fine.

Honeywell Thermostat had old Chronotemp III switching to new RH2100B. Have 4 wires: Blk Red Yel Green. Have electric heat system button is turned on. Have RC jumper in. Heat comes on and just runs an runs....

I'm hoping you took note as to what wires were connected to what terminal on the old t-stat. We can use any color wire for any terminal we want, but today's norm is red to R, green to G, yellow to Y, and I'm betting black is to W. And that the installer configuration is not set properly. You'll need to figure out what the wires are connected to at the indoor unit by disconnecting power/turn off breakers, remove the front panel(s), and verifying what the 4 wires are wired to. You're description tells me that the heat shouldn't be working at all, if the black wire is to be in the W terminal, so start with the configuration that's in the installers manual. Not sure if this will help but I hope it does. Were you having trouble with the heat initially and decided to change the t-stat?

I replaced the thermostat with a new Honewell RTH 2510B model. Before I replace the thermostat, the AC repairman added the booster to the compression since he said that was the problem why it does'nt...

Check at the furnace there is a 3 amp fuse on the circuit board you might have blown it when you installed the t-stat without shutting power off to the furnace. Also make sure RH and RC are jumpered together Y= cool G=fan W= heat R=power. let me know ok

I'm tryingt to install RTH2410 honeywell thermostat for a central air/gas heat system. I accidentally discarded the old thermostat, because I thought the honeywell would be easier to install, but nothing...

Call 1-800-468-1502 for wiring assistance.
You probably have the wrong wire on the R terminal. Make sure that the wire on the thermostat R is the same wire that is on the furnace R terminal.

Replaced Bryant T-stat model TSTATBBNB001 with Honeywell t-stat

Your original wiring configuration seems to indicate that you have an air conditioner (not heat pump) and either a gas or electric furnace. If this is the case you may need a different thermostat for your application.

Honeywell RTH2310 heating while it's supposed to be cooling

ok to start with if you have a heat pump and not ac over electric heat depending on type but most will be wired as
red to r jumped to rc y to yellow this turns on compressor g to green this turns on fan w to white or brown for electric heat strip or em heat o to orange reversing valve energised in cooling switches from heat to cool or orange to b energised in heating c blue for common
you will have to look at your indoor unit and out door unit to verify what collors the contractor used when they wired it up hope this helps

Installing Honeywell RTH7000 - I have too many wires!

check to see if the B terminal is on the new t-stat if connect to it , but this terminal refers to heat pumps and is normally use to energize the reversing valve on the outside unit and not used on ac units , but normally the tag O/B is the same terminal on therostats
