11. Great. I finally talked to my hvac guy.

You can tell if the thermostat should work by the wires that attach to it, and if it supports 2 stage systems, which I believe your hvac is. If you pull the thermostat away from the wall and see the same wires, which are color coded, and they match the new thermostat wire leads, you should be good to go. Your fan should be set to auto, so it will not run all the time. The expensive thermostat from Amana called the Smart Thermostat, that supports the Comfort Bridge features, which your hvac has, is probably a good choice as well. The problems arise when someone has jumpered the wires on the control panel of your unit to allow a configuration to a different thermostat. If you live in RVA I know a guy. Good luck! If you need to you can send me a photo and my guy can tell you how to switch it out. It's pretty easy.
