Sorry for the rant but every time I install these thermostats I have a problem. This same issue has occurred with the RC80 series, then RC80B, and now the RC-1000 OmniStat 2. Apparently every furnace on the planet doesn’t output the proper 24VAC. That being the case, why doesn’t HAI build the thermostat to compensate for this or why not include the extra power supply with the unit?
In our current install we have three newer (mid 90’s) Bryant furnaces, all traditional single stage setups. We wired up the first RC-1000 and powered up the furnace… the thermostat powers up for about 2 seconds and then just shuts off. I can plug in any off the shelf thermostat and it works without issue. Why does the customer now have to pay another $30+ for a “power supply�
Errrrr… sorry guys, rough night.
