I am assuming that by asking about a "heating thermostat" for a "furnace" we are not talking about air conditioning/heating units or about electric heating units (baseboard, wall-mounted, etc.).
If the furnace already has a thermostat installed then it is just a matter of replacing the existing thermostat with a new one. Heat-only thermostats can be obtained from home centers such as Lowes or Home Depot. They should be specified to work on 24-volt circuits, unlike those designed for 110/220 volt AC electric heaters. Replacement is simply a matter of removing the thermostat cover, detatching it from the wall, and disconnecting the two wires from the old unit. Connect the wires to the new thermostat and mount it to the wall in place of the old one. Be aware that some thermostats must be adjusted level to work properly - read the enclosed literature that comes with the new unit.
If this is a new or replacement furnace that has never had a thermostat connected then there are several additional considerations. You will need to identify a location for the thermostat. This location should be on an interior wall, out of any drafts, and in a location such as a hallway which is an "average" of surrounding rooms. You will have to run 2-conductor thermostat wire (available at home centers) from the furnace to the thermostat. Connections to the thermostat are as outlined above. The connections at the furnace end depend on the type of furnace - passive hot air, forced hot air, passive hot water, circulator-driven hot water, steam, etc. These variations are beyond the scope of this general question.
What else can I help you with?
You bought a new Bryant furnace a 90t 352aav model what kind of thermostat do you need?
A 24 volt heating only or a 24 volt heating/cooling (if you have ac on the unit)thermostat.
How can I troubleshoot issues with my Honeywell thermostat heating only?
To troubleshoot issues with your Honeywell thermostat heating only, first check the thermostat settings to ensure they are correct. Next, check the furnace or heating system to see if it is functioning properly. You can also try replacing the batteries in the thermostat and cleaning any dust or debris around the unit. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider contacting a professional HVAC technician for further assistance.
Is it possible to install a new furnace thermostat by myself?
Yes, you can install your own thermostat, if you don't have central air its actually pretty easy, there are only two wires to connect! Here is step by step instructions: http://homerepair.about.com/od/heatingcoolingrepair/ss/tstat_install_4.htm
How can I install a new thermostat with only 2 wires, replacing the old one?
To install a new thermostat with only 2 wires, first turn off the power to the heating or cooling system. Remove the old thermostat and note which wires are connected to it. Connect the 2 wires to the corresponding terminals on the new thermostat. Secure the new thermostat to the wall and turn the power back on. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for programming and setting the new thermostat.
Do you have to open thermostat when installing a new one on a 1996 grand marquis?
The thermostat only opens when it reaches a set temperature. For instance a 195 degree thermostat opens at 195 degrees. Just install the thermostat, and do not mess with it. Install it spring down.The thermostat only opens when it reaches a set temperature. For instance a 195 degree thermostat opens at 195 degrees. Just install the thermostat, and do not mess with it.

Why is the heat and air system only working on emergency heat?
when running the heat-pump the air blowing from the heat ducts is not hot ( it's to cold for the heat-pump). you have a main furnace and it won't turn on ( is thermostat selected for this source), ( is the power switch for main furnace on ), ( is fuse for this furnace good). If these are good (check thermostat wiring at thermostat, and transformer).
What size transformer is generally used on a heating only gas furnace?
usually 40 va
Furnace not working efficiently, would a furnace cleaning help?
I noticed last year that my furnace didn't seem to working as efficiently as before. Would hiring a furnace duct cleaning service help? Would my furnace work better afterwards, or does a cleaning only help the air quality?
