    Installing one tomorrow, got the units in, and this video and comments gave me very good insight into what is going on. I'm using a twining board, but if that doesn't work, I feel confident because I can always fall back on the 24v relay option.

    @@TaddyDigest That is my life. I’ve been doing a lot of work for an apartment complex that was built in the 40s. My frustration had got to the point that I finally talked to the head maintenance guy and told him that he was paying me to fix stuff that his other two crews are screwing up and he was paying for the same word twice. He told me it was in the budget. The other two crews are cheap and he knows they get about 80% of it right so they budget in me batting clean up. I stopped shaving my bill thinking he was loosing money on rework.

    That would be cool. Haven't seen anyone do a video on Twinning boards yet. I like to think about Twinning boards like Zoneboards, only you need an extra board for every system you need to sync phase. I've seen up to 6 furnaces on 1 thermostat. Crazy looking if you've never messed with it. There are some massive churches with this kind of set up. Remember K.I.S.S. in Hvacr. Its easy to over think it when fixing someone else's over thinking.

    I’m working apartments built in the 1940’s that have been turned from two bedrooms to 3 bedrooms by removing a wall. They have central heat on one side and a floor furnace on the other side. I was wondering if I could do this twinning so the call for heat signal would be better on the floor furnace? We are replacing the 750mv thermostats like crazy since the floor furnaces are on a separate thermostat anyway.

    @bill944 Жыл бұрын

    Don't understand why the relay is necessary on the twinning when running an additional set of thermostat wire from one furnace circuit board to the other would accomplish the same. Also, on the York set up, why isn't there a wire going to Y1 in the second furnace that's not being controlled by the thermostat? Won't that prevent the blower from coming on the the second furnace on a call for cooling?
