    On the old tstat,, what tag did each color wire go to?you should have written down what each color wire went to,, if you didn`t you will need to go down to the furnace end and see what each color is hooked to

    It should be red wire to rh with a jumper from rh to rc
    Green wire to g post
    Yellow wire to y post
    White wire to w post ( but this is maybe what someone used the blue wire )

    Be sure to kill the power to furnace (breaker ) before attempting change

    Good luck and get back with us if needed
