    I wired the thermostat as suggested with only two wires, red, white. To the terminals rh and w.
    Should my forced air fan also come on or is there another wire to connect.
    Thermostat is honeywell model rth2520 --heat only. There are more colored wires unused.
    Tx gord and to t-top for answer to first??
