    Thermostat Replacement
    I am trying to replace my old thermostat with a new Humter Programmable Thermostat but as I can tell from surfing wire matching is not an easy thing. My unit was put into service in 1976. In the old thermostat there are the following wires:

    Y - Yellow
    G - Green
    R - Red
    O - Orange
    E - Ebony / Tan
    C - Coral
    W2 - Beige or White

    The new thermostat has

    G
    RC
    RH
    Y/O
    W/B
    Y1

    From surfing I think that Red goes to RH which is jumpered to RC. Green goes to G. Yellow and Orange go to Y/O. But am not sure if this is correct or what to do with the other wires. Can anyone help?

    Thanks!
