so is it the older style round kind and not digital ?

I just heat with a wood stove but I;m trying to recall my parents thermostat and how it worked.

Theirs had the red indicator for the highest temp or -stop heating at this temp approx 68-70 degrees

and the had a black indicator for the lowest temp usually 60 ish
You are NOT going to believe what happened.

I have been jumping through hoops to try and get the answer.

I went online to Honeywell, and because I don't know the exact model number, well, I can't find the answer THAT way, right?

so this morning, I'm walking to breakfast and I pass 3 construction workers working on the street, I walked up to them and said "May I please ask you a thermostat question?" They laughed and said "sure".

I asked the question, one of them burst out laughing and said "All the thermostats I deal with are digital, BUT MY MOTHER HAS ONE OF THOSE OLD ONES". "BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WORK"

And I wasn't about to ask him to use his cell phone to call up his mother.

(I DID give that a thought though!!!!)

So as I'm walking home, I see my neighbors, and I ask THEM the question. Every single one of them knew what I meant, BUT IT WAS YEARS SINCE THEY USED ANYTHING BUT DIGITAL. No one knew!!

So I come home, and I call up Honeywell. That's right, I CALLED UP HONEYWELL!!!

And guess what they said?

They had no clue. Unless you give them a model number, they don't know any facts about thermostats.

So I said "don't you have any older people working there who might have come across one of the older models"?

She says "Let me ask my supervisor".

She comes back and says: 'No, no one knows about anything other than digital".

So this morning, I called my landlady and asked "did you leave it on Red as I suggested and did the heat come up this morning?"

She said "yeah".

so that's it. Heat is ON!!!

When I try and help people.... I REALLY TRY AND HELP PEOPLE!!!.

lol lol lol lol
