This is where we discuss how to repair appliances, large and small. We are not waiting for #right2repair law to be enacted. The civil disobedient practice of repairing instead of wasting and re-buying is welcome here. I will also turn a blind eye toward “piracy” of manufacturer service manuals that are otherwise unavailable to the general public.

Hey yall

Had to get an all new furnace and heat pump installed. I opted for the Honewell thermostat. I don't want this thing on my wifi. I don't need to have it connected right?

Yeah the heat pump was a 1987 trane and the furnace a 1990 trane. Heat pump died so decided to replace it all.

Yeah, I'm hoping this Honeywell works without internet, if I am forced to use it I guess I will have to limit it's connection and block everything it uses except the weather.

It just drives me nuts the techs don't know anything about how it actually works, and they just want you to hook it to your internet..I at least have it on an isolated vlan now

Wait so you're replacing the 1987 one with a new one?

Yes, the motor just burned up in it last week.

So the entire HVAC system was replaced, furnace and heat pump.

Okay what's the new one?
