Yes, correct
Now, if you select 1, the thermostat will change back and forth from heat to cool as needed without you having to do so manually.
Alternatively, you can just hit Next

Customer Replay

Now its 13 and 1

Ok. Go ahead and hit DONE and then try AC.
Let me know if ac comes on blowing cold. May have a time delays so don’t panic.

Customer Replay

So far the AC is running we are going to see if it drops a degree

Ok, sure
Let me know about the result

Customer Replay

The problem was before is when you set it in heat the thermos says its on but the heat wasn't pumping or blowing im still seeing if its cooling down

What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

Just checking wires and resetting breakers

Ok, I got you

Customer Replay

I put the new thermos in about three weeks ago and everything worked fine but when we needed heat it would say heat on and it would click but not heat

Are you talking about the one we deal with now?

Customer Replay

Yes now the air feels like it's cool but temp isn't dropping on thermostat in going to let it run awhile and then try the heat next

Ok, sure
