The thermostat is a basic switching station. One hot wire, usually red in color is switched to various circuits to turn on the following components; indoor fan, compressor, reversing valve, supplementary heat strips. Usually if your thermostat can still turn on any of these items your thermostat is still good(meaning other components or internal swiches are failing). There are simple tests that can be made to determine the problem but usually is left to a technician. Simple switching problems can turn into hundreds of dollars in damage.

What kind of thermostat do you buy if you have a heat pump?
A heat pump thermostat.
Is a programmable thermostat good to use with a heat pump system?
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
What is the purpose of a thermostat on a heat pump?
The purpose of a thermostat on a heat pump is to regulate the temperature inside a building by controlling when the heat pump turns on and off. It helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by sensing the ambient temperature and signaling the heat pump to adjust its operation accordingly. The thermostat allows users to set their desired temperature and ensures that the heat pump operates efficiently.
Why will my heat pump not start when i turn on thermostat?
First, is the thermostat in he correct position for cooling? Is there a red light glowing on the thermostat? There could have been a power surge or outage and the heat pump needs to reset. Turn the power off to the heat pump at the control panel for a couple or minutes then back on again to reset the heat pump.
What type of thermostat does a heat pump with auxilary heat use?
Any brand or make will work if it is 2 heat 1 cool thermostat
Can a heat pump thermostat be used on non heat pump air conditioning system?
yes it can but everytime you want heat you have to put it on Emergency Heat..
How can I optimize the performance of my heat pump with a Nest thermostat?
To optimize the performance of your heat pump with a Nest thermostat, you can set a schedule that aligns with your daily routine, enable the learning features of the thermostat, and adjust the temperature settings to maximize energy efficiency.
What is the role of the outdoor thermostat in a heat pump system?
The outdoor thermostat in a heat pump system helps regulate the system's operation based on the outside temperature. It ensures the heat pump runs efficiently by adjusting the heating or cooling output according to the outdoor conditions.
What can be wrong with your 2001 aurora that over heats?
A thermostat that is stuck closed, no coolant flow motor will over heat same goes for the water pump if the impeller blades have corroded off no flow (it happens buy a Taurus those pumps are awful.)
What is the purpose of the orange wire on a thermostat?
The purpose of the orange wire on a thermostat is to connect the thermostat to the heat pump, allowing it to control the heating system.
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).
Should the thermostat be set to EM heat if the heat pump has Auxiliary heat?
Emergency Heat [EM] should only be used as a backup if the heat pump fails. EM heat uses 1.5 to 3 times as much or electricity as the heat pump.
