What is the right thermostat for my furnace?

If an oil or gas furnace is used for heat only, it only requires a basic 3-wire, heat-only thermostat to operate. These wires have terminals labeled on the sub-base, or on the back of the thermostat. They are R for power, W for heat and G for fan. The universal wiring colors to these terminals are red, white and green respectfully. If the furnace is used with an air conditioning system, it requires a 4-wire thermostat. These wire terminals are labeled R for power, W for heat, G for fan and Y for cooling. The universal wiring colors to each terminal are red, white, green and yellow.

If you decide to get a programmable, Wi-Fi or smart thermostat, it will use the same coler-coded wiring as before. The manufacturer may require that an additional common wire be connected for powering the separate features of the thermostat. These can be any unused wires that are not currently being used for your previous thermostat. Check the thermostat manufacturer's website for compatibility and what wires you will need for your furnace to operate efficiently and effectively.
