got a mobil home with a in the wall furnace and outside ac unit,all the buttons are on the furance,the cool,auto,on,heat etc.The thermostat just controls the temp, so I want a digital t stat to replace the old spring loaded one that come with the Mobil home,it will be more accurate and easy to set. tell me which one would be a good choice at lowes to buy and how to connect the two wires up to the stat please,i just want a non programable one will be fine. :?: I checked and it just has the two wires on the stat.

If you have 2 wires now any 2 wire should work. I think the colors are labeled on the back of the thermostat.

What if the colors aren't labeled on the back? How can you tell which wire is which?
