I called my HVAC guy who said they dont make those thermostats & I should buy a new $ system. I really only want to replace the thermostat until the system does finally die (it is from 1983). I know its on borrowed time, but its a new to me house.
I am guessing the guy was more interested in selling me a huge system vs helping me find a replacement thermostat.
I am not looking for DIY, just more a direction to look to get a replacement thermostat.
EDIT: the guy did say something regarding it had to be a mercury thermostat which sounded wierd to me.
Thanks,
Rich
