Hi All
My dad has an old house. The cable of the thermostat is 5 wires.
My question is, can you config from 5 wires to 3 wires. (Because I relocated the thermostat, I ask Home Depot guy to get me the cable the can extend to a differint location). He told me that Ionly need 3 wires for the new programmable thermostat.
It is corrected. then please direct me. How can I hook up my new digtial thermostat?
Thanks in advanced.

Guess the home depot guy gets a talkin to. I know of one stat that works with 3 wires.
Thermostat wire comes in 10 conductor.
