Hi,

I used HUnter 44260 whole winter to find out my heating bill went high to 368$ and Electric bill to 100$. And found out it was kicking on my cooling system also... Anyways...

My Current Lennox 51M32 is working on the following connections...

Terminal Description
R 24VAC
G Fan control
Y1 First stage cooling
W1 First stage heating
C 24VAC common

And Hunter 44260 has
Terminal Description
Rh, R and VR - 24 Volt
RC, VC - 24 Volt Cool
G - Fan
Y,C,M,o - Air Conditioning Compressor
W, H Heating
Y1 Heat Pump Compressor



NOw based on the description I can match it to the following

OLD Stat - New Hunter Stat
R - RH and RC ( with Jumper)
G - G
Y1 - Y ( NOTE since Old compressor says AC compressor) HELP!!
W1 - W

Leave C unwired... Mistake which I did for 3 months was I attached C to (Y,C,M) of HUnters and Y1 is attached to Y1.

So are you asking a question? OR telling us your thermostat story?

So are you asking a question? OR telling us your thermostat story?

Here is the Question
Now based on the description I can match it to the following

OLD Stat - New Hunter Stat
Connect R TO RH and RC ( with Jumper)
Connect G TO G
Connect Old Y1 TO Y ( NOTE since Old Thermostat description says AC compressor) HELP!! and NOT Y1 on Hunter stat
W1 - W

Leave C unwired... and NOt attach anything on Y1 of HUnter

Can you verify this??

Y is for the outside unit Cooling.
Leave C unattached and taped up. Your hunter does not use it from what I can see of the Hunter wiring you provided.
