Suggestion…get a Mr. Heater Blue Flame ventless propane wall mounted heater and a 100lb tank. Kicks out 30k BTU and for as often as you’ll need the heat down there it’s unlikely you’ll need more than one fill per year. Run the heat pump if necessary when it gets that cold just to keep things from freezing but use the propane to warm the place when you’re at the house. More comfy heat and less expensive than a heat pump trying to get you up to 70°. Good luck. Happy New Year!
Also some state employment division will pay for you to get your CDL. Oklahoma will through grant money. And any of you guys that can get mine working in Tulsa I will love you. We can't get out thermostat working with the system and have to use the one that came with it... No app no away from home control. Please send help to Tulsa.
Hi did you manage to come right I am an HVACR senor Technician in South Africa only saw you had a problem now sorry let me know if you didn't come right I will help you over a call if you would like.
Tdubs I love you! Quit touching stuff! Me too. The conversation at our house is focused on new tires for the Jeep. Good gawd my whole bonus from work is going to Jeep tires. I want less expensive tires than him.....I want the tires with the longer warranty.....not him!
Bummer hope u got it fixed. Domt know anything about heating and air conditioning. At least one of the people who lives in the street does heating and air.
Not an expert here but I do have a heat pump and I have some experience in their operation unless you have a super high eiffeicency unit like 20+ seer it will not provide heat below 32* at temps like we have seen in the past few days you must have a backup system,in your area probably electric heat it doesn't matter what you do with new t stats or the heat pump it cannot heat the home at extremely low temps . I would have an HVAC tech come out and they should be able to figure it out.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Thanks very much for sharing this video with us! I hope you and your dear families have a wonderful New Year!! Lord be praised!
Heat pump don't work when temps are below freezing that's why you need auxiliary heat. It reverses outside air and when it's to cold it won't get it warm enough.Heat pumps are worthless in extreme cold if you don't have auxiliary heat.
Somewhere in your house they should be a unit where you change out your filters that should be ware of fan is at should be on to be blowing air through the house the fan outside on the machine has nothing to do with the heat in the house that fan helps the coils outside there's another fan another unit inside the house in a closet baby it's in there where your laundry rooms at that there is where your heat comes in at look in there and see if that is on if not then you may have it wired wrong as one of the other people told you
You might want to contact THE HVAC GUY... he has a youtube channel and he's in Georgia (I think in the northern part)... If the other wires are not correct, the fan won't come on and work. I know he got the C wire correct which provides power to the thermostat.. but the rest...
I believe with a heat pump, if I understand your setup correctly, the heat pump will only give you a temperature difference within so many degrees. They are good for cool temps but not cold temps. My father's house in Virginia had a heat pump AND radiator heat as well for main heating. Plus, it's going to take a while for the duct work to warm up. Since it's been cold for a bit.
There is a 30 amp breaker duel pole 220 volts for heat strips unfortunately some units in the south are installed without heat strips so it is heat pump only for those type but most have strips after 2005 model year have check air handler to see if there is a large power cable installed for heat strips
Just crawl down there, find the valve on the pipe leading upstairs. Manually flip it on. Keep on crawling down and cycling it until you can get a proper hvac tech out there. Those thermostats are overly complicated to fix without a manual. But, that thing is just sending a signal, all the beef is down there.
I had this problem. I was told to change my thermostat. Didn't work.only had a.c.. switch to heat nothing. My blower motor went out. It was the smart motor witch has the switch in it. I've had heat since . And a heat pump is very quick heating up. Heat strip take some time.
Great video, Plumbers and I warning all dripping cold sink faucet under 25 F. The moving water help stop burst pipes, the water unmoving change freeze ice have power burst pipes. TikTok have many videos burst pipes, flooding, and damages, for thousands $$$$$$$.
We lived in the mountains of West Virginia and sometimes the power goes off for days at a time. So one year we got a lot of snow and the power was off for 14 days and our pellet stove wouldn't would without electricity, for some reason we could not find any wood or coal stoves too. We had 3 large dogs and a king size bed so at night when it was the coldest we would we put a dog on both sides of us a nd one in the middle and we covered up with 3 heavy quilts so we wouldn't freeze to death. We were snowed for for about 9 days. We cooked outdoors outdoors coffee and warm meals for us and our dogs. That's one year we will never forget. We lived in a mobile home then and we were blessed our pipes never froze to 10 years we lived there. Now we live in a home higher up. There's alot bears, Panthers, deers, and a lot more wildlife.
My buddy just insisted a updated thermostat and his heat wasn't working, turned out it had to be program to his unit, it was a heat pump with heat coils installed
@@AmyBethB That thermostat is for just about any heating system. But you have to set all of the settings correctly. When he was going through the numbers 1, 2, 3, 12, etc. each of those was a setting with 2 or more options. You have to choose the correct setting for each. Not sure he selected each one correctly.
hey Justin, it looks like you have transmission problems with the escalade, I have 42 years as a mechanic, a lot at a cadillac dealer I know these 6L80e transmissions well, do a video and I will try to help, will be looking for it, best to you and your family
Get an AC mechanic to service the unit every 6 months including clearing the condensate line and clean the coils. It’ll extend the unit at least 10 years and give you peace of mind. You may want to consider the Google thermostat. Much easier understand.
Hey Justin, I hope you guy's had a Merry Christmas. Don't be like me andtake that thermostat apart before you take a picture of the way the wires hook up to the new one.
Assuming you have a heat pump. Red is 24v ac power coming in. The thermostat works by connecting the output wires to the 24v source Outputs... Green is fan Yellow is cooling White is heat ..in your case probably the aux heat Orange is the heat pump heat You can short individual wires to the 24v source (red) to test the functions without relying on thermostat check functions on unit first. You can check the save functions at the indoor unit as well White is
LOL, that was hard to listen to. One thing to do is clean those leaves away from around the outside. The outside unit blows air across the radiator absorbing heat( believe it there is heat in that cold air) and the leaves block sone of that air reducing the efficiency of the unit. Also change the filter inside. It fills up with dirt if it is doing its job an reduces the amount of air blowing across the coils that make the heat in winter. The unit runs longer and doesn’t heat as well and costs more in electricity. CALL A TECH ! who can check not only the system for leaks(which must be fixed if you have any before you charge the system) he or she can check the inside air handler and make sure all your thermostat wires are correct on both sides of the unit. The inside coils are notorious for developing tiny pinholes from vibration, and the corrosive effects of the water condensation in summer, that leak very slowly over time and fade away over time, not all at once. They have detectors that can sniff out these leaks. Have him or her check the inside coils to make sure they aren’t clogged with dust or mold. This restricts air flow as much has a dirty filter. (Don’t use those cheap blue filters. They don’t filter much of anything and can lead to the coils clogging up.)They have a solution for cleaning this Also check the emergency (AUX) heat unit. It should have come on when you selected it on the video and you would have felt warm air almost instantly and a little smell from the dust on the coils for a few seconds. That didn’t happen when you went to emergency(AUX) heat. Maybe crowd sourced HVAC troubleshooting is not the way to go? I got the feeling you were herding cats with everybody offering suggestion at the same time. You got to love them all, but too many cooks spoil the broth.😁 Do a google search for the standard thermostat wiring diagrams. it is simple and straight forward to understand. Next time, bring your temperature meter from the truck and measure the air temps coming out of the registers and write them down somewhere when the unit is back to working normally. (you can do this with any type of thermometer). Good luck I hope you get the unit up and running soon. Chris
Love your comment about crowdsourcing HVAC help. So many wrong solutions given. They should have connected with one person who knew what they were talking about.
The thermostat is wired wrong. Heat pump is wired to the bottom. You have it wired to conventional. Not HvAC tech, just contractor but I think that's correct. Unit has a heat strip and possibly an emergency heat strip. The heat pump extracts heat from the environment and blows that across the heat strip.
I don’t know anything about electrical but it looks like you’re doing a good job keep up the good work keep your wife and baby safe and keep your house safe
Hey Guys, like Tdubs play by play on the heater situation. Unfortunately it is very entertaining! Best of luck on it working for you. You may have to have an HVAC tech it ion stop in, to make sure nothing is wrong.😊
Just bought the same thermostat a couple months ago. No heat pump but otherwise the same. Love it man. You will to once you connect it to wifi. Frozen pipes are a thing here in Michigan.
I actually have the same exact 1 in my home and it hasn't done anything you do have to put batteries in it though. It may work for some people but it does not work for my house I actually have to get a different thermostat now. And honestly since you guys aren't there very often you're probably wouldn't use a lot of propane but I definitely think that propane would be better
When i had the old heater replaced in Jessie's house. I had the heating and air company actually replace the whole system. Jessie was like why is the Air Condition System not on the window when she got home. And she was like how is it cool in here when she walked in. And the kid's said ask Jesse. And she was happy seeing her new heater and air conditioner system. We still have the gas mounted wall heater's in our bedroom and down the hallway and also in the living room. And they keep us warm if the power goes out. Jessie was like why did'nt u take them out. And i said hell if the power goes out we will be freezing. She was like that's good u did'nt take them out. When it's cooler we will have a fireplace installed on the side of the house. Jessie always wanted one at the area where she wants it.
I see that you have the car out have you gotten to drive it yet? I used to know how to hook that stuff up but scent I've moved to Indianapolis,In and back to Chatsworth,Ga I have gotten out of that kinda stuff.
Looking over the instructions for that thermostat looks like you need to go to function 2 and try changing the 0 to a 1 or vice-versa. It controls the fan function. Sometimes you need to read the directions. ( I know it’s hard for us fellas). Lol.
it's also important to turn off the portable heaters. their heat gets registered by the thermostat. let the house get to the set temp so the heat can turn on.
The blue is usually a common (ground) which is only used if you need power for tstat. Don't Shor the red and blue. That will blow. A fuse in the indoor air handler. You can short red to the other wires to test function.
Justin, that is an eazy fix. Mike at Mazers LLC Quakertown Pennsylvania. If I was there I would do it for Free. Hey up here we lost power for 20 hours on 24th glad for my generator in 8 degrees.
I don’t know if anybody has sent this already but I have the exact same thermostat and the C optional with batteries was so you could actually remove the thermostat from the wall and use it remotely like in a room like take it to the bedroom and take it to the living room or wherever and set your temperatures and stuff
Suggestion…get a Mr. Heater Blue Flame ventless propane wall mounted heater and a 100lb tank. Kicks out 30k BTU and for as often as you’ll need the heat down there it’s unlikely you’ll need more than one fill per year. Run the heat pump if necessary when it gets that cold just to keep things from freezing but use the propane to warm the place when you’re at the house. More comfy heat and less expensive than a heat pump trying to get you up to 70°. Good luck. Happy New Year!
That little wire is called a jumper wire yes you have to use it
Hi justin
Also some state employment division will pay for you to get your CDL. Oklahoma will through grant money. And any of you guys that can get mine working in Tulsa I will love you. We can't get out thermostat working with the system and have to use the one that came with it...
No app no away from home control.
Please send help to Tulsa.
Hi did you manage to come right I am an HVACR senor Technician in South Africa only saw you had a problem now sorry let me know if you didn't come right I will help you over a call if you would like.
Check out Mikey Pipes on RUclips
He has a ton a videos on how to fix HVAC and it’s got alot of comedy involved.
Tdubs I love you! Quit touching stuff! Me too. The conversation at our house is focused on new tires for the Jeep. Good gawd my whole bonus from work is going to Jeep tires. I want less expensive tires than him.....I want the tires with the longer warranty.....not him!
Bummer hope u got it fixed. Domt know anything about heating and air conditioning. At least one of the people who lives in the street does heating and air.
Tdubs ours were dripping and still froze and we kept floor units running and aimed at the pipes. Luckily nothing burst.
Not an expert here but I do have a heat pump and I have some experience in their operation unless you have a super high eiffeicency unit like 20+ seer it will not provide heat below 32* at temps like we have seen in the past few days you must have a backup system,in your area probably electric heat it doesn't matter what you do with new t stats or the heat pump it cannot heat the home at extremely low temps .

If fan motor was bad it wouldn’t blow at all
Justin, you need a Green APU for the house!
Definitely 👍🏽
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Thanks very much for sharing this video with us!
I hope you and your dear families have a wonderful New Year!! Lord be praised!

@justtruckin, hold the heat….what happened to the ram?
Goodman is the low end of HVAC systems and that baby looks old.
LOL Way over my mind. Good luck mechanic. Quit trucking and go into Repair for people. You will do so much better.
You might want to contact THE HVAC GUY... he has a youtube channel and he's in Georgia (I think in the northern part)... If the other wires are not correct, the fan won't come on and work. I know he got the C wire correct which provides power to the thermostat.. but the rest...
Was unit working when you got there if yes then wiring is wrong...
Get HVAC Guy from Georgia. He’s the best.

Bro I installed that same one in my house. You have to run constant power off the unit in the attic. I love it. I can set temp using phone. 👍👍😎

Wow 😯
It is cool in Ocho Rios- relative though- It is roughly 70 degrees here at night- 78 degrees daytime.
Lucky!
If you’re gonna let something drip let the bathtub drip got the most room to fill up if there’s gonna be an overflow
Fan on auto not On.
When outside unit is on check discharge air on top. Should be Cold
put unit on emer heat and recheck wires
You need to check that the system has freon in it did the A/C work when it was hot out if it's low or out of freon it will not heat
turn off the water at the meter, drain the lines, go home, call hvac in the am....
That box is main service disconnect for maintenance work.
Why did a hvac thermostat video come on right after your live video . 🤯🤦♂️😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Got the same one my hvac installed it for me I used it daily when I'm away from home
The fan is attached to unit inside and if you feel air from vent fan is working.
The out side is a service disconnect
My buddy just insisted a updated thermostat and his heat wasn't working, turned out it had to be program to his unit, it was a heat pump with heat coils installed
Wow 1st time I've seen your stove being used, surprised you didn't need take out.
Did you turn the breaker back on?
Dang Justin you can rebuild a Cummins engine bur you can't do that lol
It has been cold in florida
Hey
Hey buddy make sure the thermostat matches your unit what I mean by that is if your unit has a heat pump or not
Can I ask a stupid question.....How do you know?
@@AmyBethB That thermostat is for just about any heating system. But you have to set all of the settings correctly.

hey justin turn off space heater beside thermostat it may be keeping thermostat area warm enough so that it wont call for heat
Hey Justin, I hope you guy's had a Merry Christmas. Don't be like me andtake that thermostat apart before you take a picture of the way the wires hook up to the new one.
Very easy.
Use the heat pump strip on new thermostat.
Function 1 setting 5 is correct the heat strips are in the air handler in the attic or garage you have wait for system to catch up
Justin, does the heat come on with the Old Thermostat? If so... the issue is with the new Thermostat not the heat pump!
I should hope you have call a hvac service to get your heat going b or install a f urnace. You have frozen pipes it's no fun
Assuming you have a heat pump.
Red is 24v ac power coming in. The thermostat works by connecting the output wires to the 24v source
Outputs...
Green is fan
Yellow is cooling
White is heat ..in your case probably the aux heat
Orange is the heat pump heat
You can short individual wires to the 24v source (red) to test the functions without relying on thermostat
check functions on unit first. You can check the save functions at the indoor unit as well
White is
try 5 degrees here in southern Wisconsin
Gonna be staying in Savannah Georgia for the night feb 16th on the way to Florida
Didn't the loop go to of other end of the terminal? I think it was on the first two E and AUX
You can pay straight for your cdl school Or you can get what they call contract training
Change that filter ! It is dirty ! Get the cheap filters and change them often .
There's an idea for you guys get a load out of your neck of the woods to Las Vegas .
Keep on trucking I like to watch your RUclips video
Hey guy and gal is that Wi-Fi going to work when your phone is away from the Wi-Fi, Hey guys does the lake house have Wi-Fi?
Has ur white dodge coming?
Inspection today
So what was the damage?
How cold did it get down there ?

There is only one set of terminals. Just the labels to use are determined by which type of system you have.
Function 1 set at 5 2 set at 0 3 set at 1 12 set at 1
I don’t know anything about electrical but it looks like you’re doing a good job keep up the good work keep your wife and baby safe and keep your house safe
Thank you Robert
This is fun watch.
Shut the water off and bleed the pipes
The o/b is for Is Orange or black
seal wall where wire come out

Did not someone say that to connect wires to bottom for the heat pump
Thank goodness your not colorblind. Lol 😊
The capacitor outside mite have gone bad
Hello Merry Christmas Happy New Years
I don’t know if anybody has sent this already but I have the exact same thermostat and the C optional with batteries was so you could actually remove the thermostat from the wall and use it remotely like in a room like take it to the bedroom and take it to the living room or wherever and set your temperatures and stuff
You can program it and set temperatures, but it can’t control the units unless it is on the base plate.
it’s snowing in my home town of ellijay
Get a nest thermostat no thinking just plug and play and remote accessibility
Seriously? We have a Honeywell. It worked and then we moved it will not work here! It was so nice staying in bed controlling the heat.
No fireplace at the lake house?
Balme 63 South of Houston
A watchmaker and a fool.
What's up Justin and TDubs
Not if you have batteries in it
30 in Crestview Fl
Blinker fluid yes lol
move the heater by the thermostat maybe the heat is at the setting
The thermostat showed 52°, so it calling for heat.
