Actually, here in Northern Virginia at least, it would be a code violation to have a door on the furnace room unless that door had a grill to permit combustion air to pass into the furnace room. If there's no grill, the door should NOT be closed, especially if there's a gas water heater in there as well.

Huh?????

Quality.

Accuracy.

MUCH less prone to fail.

Hunters....Lux...I throw away, no less than 10 a month on the slow months, and 10 a week during the summer...seriously. Ask anyone that sees this on a daily basis, anyone in the HVAC trade...whats the best single money maker that Lowes and Home Depot sells for us... Hunter and Lux stats...

A 24 VAC thermostat most likely wont catch your home on fire, as long as the wiring is ran logically, and not near items of combustion, and normally, IF there is a short in the stat, the board in your furnace will fail and fry long before the wiring gets hot enough to burn.

I think he meant to say that air is a fluid. It's not a liquid unless it's _really_ cold. :-)

Sounds like you've been brainwashed by their propaganda.

Yup..thanks for the correction...duh... One of those days where you know what you mean to say, but the fingers override the brain.....

here..the correction :-)

Since air is a FLUID,

There...I stand corrected and thanks again for that...I would have totally overlooked it.

Manual D, nothing but alot of fluid dynamics...:)

This is Turtle.

KD , Hunter just sucks from day one. I change thermostats out for problem with them and about 80% of them is going be a Hunter or Jade. Both are the same manufactor. Buy any brand except a Hunter if you want it to last for more than a year or two. Now maybe 50% will work good for a long time but the cards are stacked against you when you start out with a Hunter. Now hunter makes very good ceiling fans but when it comes to thermostats. They have trash.
