    Went from white-rodgers to Hunter 44110
    Lets start with describing what I have.

    I have a coleman eb15c central electric furnace heat only. It has a Red and White Wire that went to a White Rodgers thermostat (slider adjuster with heat atticipator)

    It kept cylcing on and off badly, it would stay on for 15 minutes, cut off for 1 minute then come back on, if I adjusted it 1 notch longer on the cycle, it wouldn't come back on at all (all night).

    I bought a hunter 44110 programmable thermostat.

    It had 5 slots for wires Y, W, G, RH, RC. I connected White to W and the Red wire to RH without the jumper and it come on and started heating and stayed on, but never cut off, even if I droped the temperature down 10 degrees (waited 10 minutes for it to cut off) so I connected the jumper back to RC-RH

    Is this setup correct, I mean the furnace comes on but it has not cut off yet but its still heating up to my comfort temp.

    Thanks in advance.

    For a 2 wire system, it should matter either way. Jumped or not.

    Word to the wise: The hunter makes a good paperweight.

    Get a stat that sets the cycle rate and knows what an electric furnace is.

    So what do you recommend? And I assume by your answer it is wired right?

    Should be wired right,, the jumper doesn`t matter,, that's just for if you had ac.
    I`m doubting there was anything wrong with the white-rodgers tstat. Its still better than the hunter / beware of hunter tstats.

    Oh, I wasn't sure if the white rodgers was messing up because it was cycling so much. What about location for the tstat, I rent this mobile home and this landlord is a moron...

    The Honeywell Focus Pro is designed for homeowner's: Honeywell TH5000 and TH6000 Focus Pro Thermostats

    The TH6110D series 1H/1C

    Note that there are more things to set.

    The Honeywell Vision Pro series is touch screen, but the MFR doesn't like to talk to homeowners. It's their "Professional" line.

    Mobile homes can get pretty crowded. The Honeywell Prestige (read expensive). I think there are others out there have a remote that you take with you.

    I think that would be great. So, you move it with you. Sleeping is sleeping. Cooking is cooking, etc.

    Mobile homes are a mess to control.
