My central heating & air unit is not working properly. What could be my problem?
Oct 28, 2008 by cjdavis502003 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I recently installed a new thermostat for my central heating & air system. While installing a new thermostat for the system, I accidentally crossed one of the connector wires with one of the other wires that connects to the thermostat and I damaged
Sounds like you just have it miss wired.
Make sure you have the correct type of thermostat for your system.
Is it a heat pump? These require a special thermostat and will not work properly with a standard heat/cool thermostat.
I doubt

Meet Nest: iPhone-Controlled Thermostat From Creator of the iPod
05.12.11
If your house is less than 20 years old, you probably have a programmable thermostat. It's probably a plain rectangle with a handful of buttons and a monochrome LCD screen, and it's probably a slight nuisance to program. It also probably isn't connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Nest is trying to change that with its new Nest Learning Thermostat.
The thermostat is a round metal dial with a circular color LCD screen that works a lot like an iPod classic click wheel. That could be because Nest was co-founded by Tony Fadell, one of the creators of the iPod. You can turn the temperature up or down by twisting the dial, or you can go through its menus by pressing it in like a button. It can be set to automatically change the temperature based on the time and whether you're present.
If you don't want to program it, it can program itself by tracking the temperature settings you use over a week, automatically changing the temperature based on when you change it yourself. A green leaf appears if the temperature setting saves energy according to Nest's standards, and an Auto-Away setting lowers heating and cooling when you're not at home. The display even turns red and blue when the heating and cooling systems are active, letting you know what settings will kick the heating or air conditioning into overdrive.

Once the room is up to temperature, and internal and solar gains take effect, the heating requirements may reduce to say 2.5kW. If the 7kW heating device were controlled by on/off thermostat control, the internal temperature would swing excessively.
