Question: do you have a multiple thermostat setup in 1 zone? If so check what settings are for your heat on each thermostat. Make sure that the heat is not set higher than the room's temperature.
check what settings are for your cooling on each thermostat. Make sure that the cooling is set accordingly.

if you have multiple thermostats setup in 1 zone. the thermostat with the lowest temperature will reign supreme. The heat setting on that thermostat will be what's causing the buzz on the heater.

optionally, hard reset your thermostat as a precaution. Here's how to do so: there are two types of thermostats i know of programmable and non-programmable.

disable auto & enable manual; however do NOT change settings or power-off t-stat. Remove battery and power down the thermostat until you see nothing on the thermostat monitor; power OFF the switch connected to your t-stat. Remove battery and reinsert inverted, if needed, press whatever button that your heart desires to make sure that nothing is absolutely drawing into that mode, button, etc; wait (5sec-1min); remove batters; wait 1min; then, reinsert batteries in its correct position; if you have a programmable thermostat; do the same with the hit 'reset filter' held down observe if the roomTemp reading has changed.

May I suggest to keep an extra thermometer around to determine if temperature reading accurately?

If reset requires a reprogramming to your t-stat, do whatever required to set your desired setting.

cheers, best of luck. i hope i've helped.

background, doing a hard reset in my opinion is similar to removing the battery from a PC motherboard.

My AC Carrier unit is blowing 110 at vent set to cool 68 degrees ambien temp 88 degrees.

Low refrigerant levels (most common cause.)

it sounds like your outdoor unit is running, but the AC is blowing out hot air, start with cleaning the condenser coils. Spray the coils with a water hose, clearing away the loose dirt and foliage. If the AC continues to blow warm air, call an HVAC expert for help with refrigerant levels.

I installed a Honeywell RTH2510/RTH2410 thermostat. All wiring was same as old HW stat. Unit is an indoor electric AC/Heat and new stat will only blow hot air.

What type of system do you have?
If you have a heat pump with a reversing valve you will need to set the thermostat settings for a heat pump. Or it can also be the wiring. Check your setting on the thermostat.

All is standard, heater is gas, AC is electric, old thermostat was old and burned. I have TH3110D1008 and 4 wires.

the colors on standard t-stat are rh/rc gets red wire. g goes to fan green. y goes to outside unit cool. and in your case w labeled black goes to heat normally this wire is white.

I guess this is a heat pump unit, check the change over valve in the gas circuit, sounds like the solenoid on the valve is burnt out

Heat comes on when the temperature setting calls for cool.

getting heat in the cooling mode leans toward the reversing valve in the outside unit. it changes the flow of refergerint so that the hot air you get outside in the summer is blown inside in the winter. another possibility is that the reversing valve isn't getting 24v check to see if you have 24v at O and C either at the t-stat, furnace, or the outside unit. if you check at the furnace rember the safty switch for the lower door if that switch is open you will have no power. i would look at the t stat first if you have 24v there go to the outside . 24v present outside will mean a bad valve or board, no 24v means a bad or broken conection in the control wire between the stat and the outside unit(usally the orange wire)

AC unit not kicking on...

You need a "Y" terminal. "Y" is pretty standard on every heat pump. It is the wire that will energize the compressor contactor at the outdoor unit, allowing the compressor and condensor fan to run.

Thermostat Wiring Problems!!!

. your blue is probably common and if you hooked it to Y you shorted the transformer or blew the low voltage fuse. Green is fan, yellow is AC, Red is 24volt. Is it a heatpump or just ac? I think its probably a heat pump and your brown is your Reversing valve it needs to be hooked to O on the new stat. If its a heatpump your tstat must be a 2heat 1 cool stat w/ aux heat. Without knowing what terminals the wire were hooked to on the old stat you may have to look at whats hooked up at airhandler( furnace) and on A/C (heatpump) tobe able to determine what goes where on the new one.

Manual Thermostat replcaement with Programmable Digital unit.

Hopefully there are markings on the old t-stat as to what terminal is what.
on the honeywell 8000 use the heat pump labeling and then the standard wiring would be
R- red
AUX-white
Y- yellow
B- O/B
C- black
G- green
There should not be a bare wire, it probably just has the insulation stripped back way too far.
You should probably open the furnace and compare the terminal label in the furnace to the wire color. normally yellow and blue pass through the furnace and are wire nutted to wires going to the outdoor unit. In the furnace the white wire will connect to the w or w1 terminal. also, you will need to set the Honeywell stat to have the following parameters.
170-7
190-1
200-0
other parameters that I did not specify, you may read the manual and make your own decision but I recommend factory settings for the other parameters
