    Janitrol HPT 18-60 Thermostate help 5 wires
    we have a Janitrol Hpt 18-60 thermostate that reads as followed:

    Y=yellow wire
    G=green wire
    R=red wire
    O=blue wire
    w2-white wire
    E= no wire connected
    C=no wire connected

    We are trying to hook up a hunter which we thought would work because the person that came out said we had a one stage heat pump.
    The wires on the Hunter 44155c reads as followed:

    G
    RC
    RH
    Y/O
    W/B
    Y1


    How do we hook this up because I have no clue what each wire in our old box is used for?

    First of all, I wouldn't use that Hunter thermostat. I probably replace more Hunters than every thing else combined. Get a Honeywell or White-Rodgers thermostat.
    The fact you have a connection to W2, indicates there is back up or auxiliary electric striip heat. Unless you live in a very warm climate, it would be very unusual not to have electric auxiliary heat.
