    What's an "electric system with a gas furnace"? Are you saying you have a heat pump with gas stage two? The ON position on the thermostat is for the fan operation, not heat or cool. And what are the HG and STAND positions? Those aren't standard designations for a thermostat. And you are going to get a bunch of flak for using a Hunter thermostat. Honeywell, White-Rodgers are the ones to get, Hunter is usually considered junk by most.
