Thank you thank you thank you. 🌺 Because of this video I know why my garage furnace was not working. I cleaned the thermostat and it’s now working. Your video saved me hundreds of dollars to bring a mechanic to inspect and repair 🙏

Good explanation of thermostats. Why does my new thermostat turn on heat Immediately when wire attached? Will not stop after ambient reaching temperature. Thank you
@worldofwaterheaters95352 жыл бұрын
sounds like the thermostat has a problem. it should turn off when it reaches the set point.

Dad has a GE thermostat from the 1960's. Is it possible to adjust it? The heat always has run 5 degrees colder than whatever it's set for. Also, what does turning the screw on the inside do? Any advice appreciated!

I have a Thermostat like the last one you showed. It is identical on the outside, but the inside looks a bit different its a General Control T 70. It doesn't have that little metal disk/circle you point out. This one is still working, hit or miss though. I'm not sure how it works as it doesn't have mercury in it either. I can send you a picture if you are interested in seeing it and able to tell me how it works.
@jsandiego2394 Жыл бұрын
This entire video and the guy never even mentions "Mercury". Mercury is the liquid metal that are inside these old clackers. .. 🤷♂️
@amightysailingman4 жыл бұрын
So at 5:30, you say we can just short the wires together. Which makes sense, as the mercury switch just makes or breaks the circuit. But why does every single website keep insisting we must shut off power to the furnace before working on these 24v two-wire thermostats? The dead short isn't going to hurt the zone valve.

you turn off the power when there is electricity involves but with the standard gas gravity type furnace there are no fans so no electricity

If I have one that has no off how do I turn off the heat if I turn it up all they way and back again it clicks. I think this sets my default heat ? When I turn it to the lowest level my baseboard buzzes. Help!!
@worldofwaterheaters95352 жыл бұрын
what do you mean by your ‘baseboard’? You probably need to replace your thermostat
@nexx12 жыл бұрын
@@worldofwaterheaters9535 it’s a pipe that has hot water in it. It vibrates and hums. You can hear it in the wall too. If I turn on the heat I can hear the water flow through and it stops. Then I turn it off it starts again after like 30 mins.

More than likely your air/heat unit isn't tied in with your main breaker box to your house. There should be a box close to you power meter that has a few breakers and a main power switch. Ours is like that.
