check this site out http://support.nest.com/article/What-is-a-multistage-system. It explains how to determine if you have a multistage system. Other that this, it will work with your system.

Try moving the hot lead that you hooked up in your panel so it is on the same bus as your office (I think you were trying to say you tried that in your question). My unit CT's are hooked up on the main buss at the panel so I am reading total house wattage.I don't know what your knowledge is so don't get upset and call me a moron. I assume you were trying to measure the heater alone at the panel. just put a current transformer on each leg from the breaker that feeds the heater. The display has to be plugged into the same feed bus as the hot lead (115v) you hooked in the panel.

it all depends on the state that you live. But this is a good AC. You can get an idea by calculating the wattage used by this AC.

You should have standard voltage which is what this unit requires. If you remain unsure just ask your building superintendent - or call your utility provider to assuage any doubts you may have.

I have an all electric home and the unit powers everything except my 70KVA heating system. I cut one breaker on the system to make it a 35KVA and it works fine. It powers my 4 ton central air, refrigerator, electric hot water heater as well as three burners on my electric stove. The amount of electricity used for lighting is insignificant since I have changed to all LED bulbs. Do no fear overloading the generator because it has a breaker to prevent damage from overloading. I had the local Generac dealer install mine and he tested it with the above load and it was only using 60% of its rated output.

Not sure...I am not an AC guy...I just connected the wires and turned it on...If if helps, one of our units is a gas pack. Heat and AC in one unit. Works fine..

Ours is on the master bath 15 amp. Lights, ceiling fan and heat lamp and gfi outlets all on the amp. I know i cannot have them all running at the same time. I plugged in my blow dryer when the lights and heat lamp were on and it threw it. So now, i just dont run everything at the same time.

Based on the quick start guide the unit will work with a system that is Heat Only or Cool Only. There is a selection for only heat or air.

Most thermostats are common but, the wiring has to be checked. comes with diagram and color coded wires. I up-graded from a slide type thero to the digital one for better control of the temperature. Check the wires with what they do (power,ground ,high temp.etc.) and replace.

I had this same problem, returned them as defective. I've never had a thermostat on any type of heating or cooling system perform this way.

That's what it is for, but the units I got (from this listing) don't have them; just AC. That was fine for my needs, but be sure to order the right one for your needs. There are several very similar models.

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

sounds like wiring problem.there's 5 wires going from outdoor unit to indoor unit.2 control heat and 2 control a/c and 1 is ground.check for loose connection at both units.

I cannot find anything for an energy star claim. the main thing is to use it on a system that does not have aux heat if you are using a heat pump. it is apparently NOT a fully smart system.

The system is solar powered. I do not recommend...did not work well for me at all...not enough power. Unusable

I have a number of them installed for separate zones. My heating system is forced hot air my supply is natural gas. I have a natural gas furnace. I do not know the differences between the pump and the furnace. Generally thermostats test for temperatures, depending on their level they will send a signal of ON or OFF. I imagine they should work in most applications.
