I recently purchased a home with an Armstrong Ultra SX 80 gas furnace, this unit also has a/c. A buddy as a house warming gift installed a ritetemp 8030 programmable touch screen thermostat, unfornuately when the a/c comes on it fires up the furnace and heat starts. So I guess he wired the thermostat wrong, do you have any input into the wiring configuration? What we have know is
C/RC(red)/O/B/RH(red connected to rc)/W(orange)/Y(white)/G(green)
any feedback would be great. Cheers Geo
