There are two types of thermostats. One is line voltage and will require a splice be made in the old thermostat junction box . From the old box a new cable has to be pulled to the new thermostat junction box. This wire must be of the same size as the existing wire.

The other type of thermostat is low voltage thermostat. This uses usually # 22 size wire and because it operates on low voltage it does not need a junction box to make a splice in. Solder and tape the new wire on to the old piece and then take it to where the new thermostat is to be located.

If you have a two-story house and no one stays upstairs can you simply turn the AC off and only leave the downstairs AC running?

Cold air is heavier, as it gets warmer it will go up. If you turn on the thermostat on the second floor the air will come down and then go up as it gets warmer, making the air circulate. When the weather is very hot use both AC units (upstairs and downstairs), but if the weather is not so hot rest one unit and you will prolong it's life.


Why water comes out slowly from an upstairs tap than a similar tap placed downstairs?

The pressure of water in the pipes is called the 'head of pressure' and it is the difference in level between the water surface height (above sea level) in the nearest reservoir to the height (above sea level) of your tap. This 'head' will be higher for a downstairs tap than an upstairs tap and therefore the pressure and water flow rate upstairs will be less than for downstairs.


Why wont your downstairs light switch work when its turned off by upstairs switch?

It's because they are not wired in a 3-way fashion. The switch downstairs is wired in series with the switch upstairs in the same manner the pullchain on a light socket adapter would turn on and off your light only when the wall's switch is on.


Why do they call a three-way switch when it isn't?

The switch operates from two locations, such as upstairs and downstairs, but there are three ways it can be set: both switches "on", both switches "off", or one switch "on" and one switch "off".

Your thermostat is downstairs and the upstairs is hot How can you cool the upstairs?

This is just one possibility. This is what I did. We have a bi-level house and the thermostat was down stairs like yours is. What I did was move the thermostat upstairs. I was lucky though cause I was able to access the top floor through a closet down stairs and then ran it up the wall. Then the down stairs was freezing at first so what I did was close the down stairs vents some and it cools the upstairs great now. The down stairs is definitely cooler now, but the the upstairs is tons better. Hope this helps. Good luck.

What is wrong if you have a digital thermostat in your house with zoned heat and air and the heat and air work fine on the thermostat upstairs but there is no heat on the downstairs?

There is either a problem with the downstairs thermostat, or the wiring from that thermostat to the unit. First check the batteries in the thermostat. Yes the digital ones have batteries. :-) Next, if that doesn;t fix it, try switching your two thermostats. Be careful to wire them exactly as they were before. If your heat now works downstairs and not upstairs, replace the thermostat. If the problem remains unchanged and you still have heat up and not down - check your thermostat wiring. The voltage is low so a simple voltmeter can be used to confirm continuity from the end where it goes into the furnace to the end where it connects to the thermostat. If the wire checks out and the problem is not the thermostat, then call a licnesed professinal - youhave bigger problems.
