    Do you have a heat pump or gas furnace?

    Check the directions that came with your thermostat. If they don't say anything about using it with a heat pump, buy one that does.

    Note, check the real estate law forum. You may be able to pay somebody to replace the thermostat and send the bill to the seller.

    See https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/electr...als-37098.html

    It still doesn't sound like your model will work with a heat pump.

    You have the wrong thermostat, get one for a heat pump with two stage heat.
