Thermostat for Suburban Furnace - Removing Carrier Wireless
Thermostat for Suburban Furnace after Removing Carrier Mark V
I need to replace my 2004 Carrier Mark V DUCTED Air Conditions that has a WIRELESS thermostat. The thermostat control the A/C as well as my Suburban SF30 furnace. I know that Coleman makes a Carrier to Coleman adapter to allow me to use the existing thermostat. With the age of the Carrier lower unit, I am think about replacing the upper and the lower unit. The problem is how to WIRE a thermostat to control the furnace.
I think (?) I have located two wire that run from the furnace to the circuit board on the A/C. They should be blue, but one is Pink the other is Green/White. They are connected to the 2 Blue wires that come off of the A/C control board.
There are also a Red and a White wire that goes to the A/C with I assume is the 12 VDC. Along with the large 110 VAC wires.
Question:
1. Is there any voltage on the thermostat wires that come from the furnace or is the thermostat a simple on/off switch?
2. Can I purchase a home thermostat (digital not antilog) and mount it?
3. Don't most (?) home thermostat use 24 VDC?
Any suggestion are welcome.
