What kind of furnace or boiler do you have... make/* What type of thermostat do you * What do you mean by 'hard wired'*

serial number 5887610646 model number 612Q3-82-4 category 1 central furnace forced air natural gas with a honywell thermostat is that enough * and by hard wired i mean he opened up the furnace and bypassed the upstairs thermostat so that i have to turn the furnace on and off at the break box. he actually went to the R W Y G and T and cut and rearranged them to a different order and so that my previously mentioned statement would work.

Search the Internet for your thermostat and you will see how to wire it correctly to the furnace. However I suspect it won't run the heat correctly and that's why your friend hard-wired the system. So once you have the thermostat wired correctly, tell us what happens.

Usually the control wires from the thermostat to the furnace are colored to correspond to the terminal letters... red wire to the R terminal on the thermostat and at the furnace, green wire to the G terminal and so forth. Make sure there are no splices to the red wire at the 'stat is the same wire(red) at the furnace.
