My vocabulary is limited and I am not HVAC man
and I often disagreed with many guys in here.
However my dear man if you don't have any experience
with electrical or electronics you should kept your pause
of the unit, now you made half hour of work for tech.
to half day. Thermostat is not only thing that control
any refrigeration system. while you may think otherwise
take it from old man if you don't know what are you doing
stay out of it.

Because they know what they're doing and post accurate information
Tony on the other hand posts crap and then says he's right.

But as you see above, he admits he's not an HVAC man.
Tony, you're nothing more than a dumbass!

Tony, read the last line above till *you* understand it... now think about
this one...

"take it from old man if you don't know what are you doing don't post it"

(Grammar errors left in place, so maybe you can understand it)
