I installed a White Rodgers 1F95-1271 and it has proven to run
correctly in all ways but one...maybe? When it is set to heat the fan
runs constantly? Can anyone tell me if this is a normal operation in
some thermostats?

I've read that constantly running the fan/blower has its benefits in
the winter for even heat throughout the home. When my target heat is
reached I can confirm that the fan in the heatpump system outside stops
and the heatpump stops humming, but the fan inside keeps going.

Yes, the problem is actually worse then I thought. After the heat cuts
off the fan continues to run and it still gets warmer. I think that
since I see the heatpump stop the electric furnace must be running
emergency heat.

I'm going to call White Rodgers tomorrow but and as if the problem
might be from this line in the install manual.

"Note: If your system does not provide an E connection, jumper W2 to
W/E to use the Auxiliary Heat in the Emergency Mode"

My HVAC system did have a E wire going to an E terminal in the old
thermostat. But the White Rodgers tech guy told me to jump W2 and W/E
and connect the E wire to the W/E terminal.

Maybe I shouldn't have jumped them?

Maybe you should call a tech before your cause any more problems with the
system??

Noon-Air tried to get things rollin'
but couldn't hold out for too long.
Notice the scare tactic, threatening
the ol' pocketbook.

Then, Oscar_Lives chimed in with this tidbit of wisdom:
Notice the scare tactic common amongst the Teckies,
I even got this one with an earlier post.
Notice the "servicing and maintenance" pitch, that's the
long term hook.
>You better call a qualified technician to diagnose your system and perform
>needed repairs, servicing, and maintenance. You are likely very near
>burning your house down at present.

Then rfofaky closed the deal for the local HVAC crooks:with
this astounding observation.:
>This is over your head. You should call someone who knows what they are
>doing before you make things worse.

Once again the boys at alt.hvac are at it again.
Your all so desperate to keep the masses ignorant.
You don't care which Tech gets the contract as long
as the HomeMoaner is left in the dark.

At least Noon-Air gave it his best with the, "it's
not normal" observation...jeeze.
