Forgive me, I have failed in the most menial and basic DIY jobs.
The 55 yr. old thermostat went into the dumpster a few weeks ago. I bought what I thought would work from L**** and tried to install it. I have a very simple floor furnace: you put the wires together, the thing lights up and heat rises up, no fan. I gotta say, I consider myself an advanced DIYer, and have installed thermos before but I couldn't get this sucker to work. I wired every combination possible (there's only two wires). Called tech support (for a thermostat!) and got some, I'm sure, very nice woman in Delhi who I could not understand and had to hang up on her. Tried email, "what sort of unit is a floor furnace?", they ask. Floor, like the thing you walk on, I say. In the meantime the unit is being returned to the store. I want my old 1952 thermostat back, mercury and all.
So, HONEYWELL, I'll spend my 30 bucks somewhere else since I can't even get to someone who speaks English to help me out.
