, posted Sat 25 Oct 02:42  
OK, I bought my house 4 years ago. It had a mercury thermostat, but I wanted a programmable one. No gas in my neighborhood and since my outside unit ran both during heat and cool cycle, I assumed I had a heat pump. I buy a programmable thermostat and wire it up as a heat pump control. Well now that programmable thermostat quit working. I bought a new one today and tried to hook it up....but couldn't get it to work correctly as a heat pump. Now I'm wondering if I even have a heat pump. I have an outside unit, a blower and 2 heating coils after the blower. The inside blower unit is a York F2FP060H06B and the outside unit is a H3RC060S06A. The thermostat has 4 wires....White, Yellow, Green and Red. At the blower control panel, White goes to W1 and W2. Green, Yellow and Red are hooked up to their respective G, Y and R. If my other thermostat wasn't broken, I'd hook it up again and turn off the breaker to see if I still had heat w/o the heating coils on.
Am I wiring it wrong or do I really not have a heat pump after all?
Thanks!

Does the outdoor unit have a reversing valve? No reversing valve you have an air conditioner.
I pray for you whether you pray for me or not
