    Honeywell RTH 2300 Thermostat
    Hi, I bought a Honeywell RTH 2300 thermostat and I'm trying to hook it up, the wires I have coming out of the wall are white, green, red, yellow and blue. I hooked up the matching colors to the W, G, R, Y and the blue wire I attached to the O/B. I have the jumpers set as follows: jumper 1 HG and jumper 2 B. There is no hot air coming out when I put the heat on, it just blows out cool air. Am I doing something wrong?

    Blue goes to c, and there must be a jumper from rh to rc.

    Ok I went and bought the Honeywell RTH2310 which according to the Honeywll tech is compatible for my ac/heat unit. I have a 3 zone forced air unit and now when I turn the heat setting on the boiler does not turn on, and also the a/c unit does not turn on when I set the thermostat to cool. My other 2 zones are working fine.The tech gave me the phone # for the zoned air tech department which is not open on weekends! Any help on why this might be happening? Thanks

    You can't have a forced air boiler. So what do you have a hot water boiler of a forced air gas furnace?? If you have the stat wired correctly then you must have a problem with your many board, or your damper control. Did you change your wiring as I said in the first post?

    I have a Burnham V8 series oil heat furnace. I changed the thermostat to the RTH2310 which has the settings for rc&rh. White-W,Green-G,Yellow-Y,Red-RC,Blue-RH. I tried troubleshooting w/ the tech by connecting RH to W RH to Y RC to W RH to Y no luck.

    How would I check to see if it is the damper control and what is a many board? I have 3 units in the attic and 3 Amana Remote condensing units outside for the ac. I am very new to all of this and would appreciate any help! Thanks

    The blue goes to c. does this furnace have ac on it or is it a separate unit?

    You keep saying Blue goes to C, this is the manual for the thermostat... customer.honeywell.com/techlit/pdf/PackedLit/69-2214ES.pdf I put Blue to the Rh. The ac unit is separate. I have 3 units in the attic and 3 Amana Remote condensing units outside for the ac.

    OK if you have a wire on rh and one on rc, did you romove the jumper? Just so I am not confused, you have hot water boiler heat? Does the water go to baseboards or hotwater coils in your airhandlers?

    Yes I removed the jumper and I do have hot water heat. I don't have baseboards so it must go to the coils in the airhandlers (which I have 3 in the attic).

    If you did not turn off the power to the airhandler. Before you changed the stat. then you may have blown a fuse in the attic part.

    I installed the new thermostat, went up to the attic and switched the wires from the cold relay to the heat relay and now my boiler is kicking on. The problem now is when I shut the thermostat off the fan continues to run. I have what I believe is an aquastat attached to the airhandler with a dial on it that was set to 120, when I turned the dial up to 160 the fan shut off. When I lowered it back to 130 it kicked on again. Even if I pull my thermostat off the wall the fan continues to run. Any one have any answers as to what might be my problem? Please try to be as specific and you can and not give me a one sentence answer that sill keeps me wondering! Thanks

    With a system such as you describe, it would be near impossible to answer your questions over the phone, let alone the internet. I hate to say it, but this is really a job for an onsite tech. Need to have somebody that can see the set up and get their hands on it. The system you have in your home is not the average (simple) heating system, and will most likely be fixed by way of a service call. Good luck and please let us know how things work out.

    You don't even know what kind of system you have. You don't stay online long enough for us to ask any questions. Every time you come back on you have a different problem. How are we supposed to know anything about what you are doing. You have never put a make or model of the airhandlers. At this rate you are never going to get anything fixed. And your calling me a idiot. Looks like you're the idiot I have heat.

    Hey genuis, I don't have to be online for you to post a question! You never asked any questions about the make or model of the airhandlers or I would have posted it. There are people who don't have any experience with heating/ac systems and that is why they come to this website to try to get help from others! Why don't you read your previous replys to me and maybe you'll understand that your not really being that helpful! I think I'll take mygirlsdad77's advice and call a professonal unlike you JOSH!

    Hi kace47. Please start your own thread, it will have a better chance of getting answers that way. When you do, please give the type of system you have and as much info as possible so we can try our best to help.
