[Spridgets] Not LBC Furnace Thermostat NO DISPLAY

[Linda Grunthaner]

List,
I should always try youtube before a search, found one from a heating guy
and he states R= power 24 volts, W=heat, Y=AC and G=fan. I jumped R & G and
fan turned on so I'm going to buy a thermostat. Thinking of getting a NEST
even though expensive but I've heard they are pretty good. Anyone like the
NEST and how difficult to install? I'm thinking pretty easy with 4 wires.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks in advance.
