I have just moved into my home and I replaced the two thermostats. The one in the basement had smaller wires than the one in the living room and was easy to install.
However the thermostat in the living room has thicker wires and when I installed it, it actually melted a part of the thermostat.
I am going to try again to install the thermostat in the livingroom but this time my wife is freaking out. She wants to call an electrician instead of just doing it ourselves. I am trying to reassure her that the thickness of the wire does not count and they all carry the same voltage.
Am I right?
