Title: Can you use your existing Digital thermastat
Post by: lasor1 on August 25, 2012, 01:12:42 PM

Hello I have a programmable thermostats that has heat and aux heat outputs my heat pump will only run on aux heat on the thermostat. Are they a way I can use heat 1 output on thermostat to kick just fan on and off with thermostat my circulation pump will run all the time so are there anyway I can do this without having to thermostats on the wall? Thanks and also what would I need to make it work that way?

Just install a separate cheap digital stat right beside the one you have now.  Takes about 20 minutes, just run a jumper wire from the r post on the one you have now to the new ones r, and from the green post on the old one to the w post on the new one and you've got it.....
