    change thermostat extra wires
    I am trying to change out an old thermostat to a programmable one. I have the Robertshaw 9520 and I am trying to install a Hunter 44110. Here is what I am working with:
    Robertshaw has 7 wires.
    C=brown wire= common wire for non-battery systems
    R=red wire=24V
    Y1=yellow wire=AC compressor
    E=black wire=Emergency Heat
    G=green wire=Fan
    W2=white wire=Heating
    B=blue wire=reversing valve
    Hunter has 5 terminals.
    G=fan=will attach green wire
    Y=AC compressor=will attach yellow wire
    W=heating=will attach white wire
    RC and RH=connected by a jumper=will attach red wire
    That leaves me with the brown, common wire which I will tape off, but what do I do with the black, emergency heat wire and the blue reversing valve wire? Can I use the Hunter thermostat or will I have to purchase a different one?

    I do not believe the thermostat you bought will work. I believe you need a heat pump stat 2 stage for heat or them setting
