Can the RS6110 heat/cool thermostat be used on a natural gas furnace? The discription says heat pump.

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.

Yes, it has settings for heat pumps or natural gas. I use it on my natural gas furnace.

RS 6110 Thermostat can control a heat pump, a natural gas furnace, or an A/C & furnace. Its default is natural gas & A/C. A small switch inside adjusts timing for running a heat pump for heating instead

We are using this programmable thermostat to control pumps that in turn start the propane water heater that heats the water for our radiant floor system. We do not have a fan or blower or heat pump. We have used a similar programmable with a natural gas furnace.

No, not a problem at all. The thermostat has inputs (places for wires) for heat, fan, AC, heat pumps and sensors. See the install manual here: http://www.venstar.com/Support/Manuals/T5800ManualRev5b.pdf

I think this can replace your thermostat. You didn't say if the system was electric or gas (hot water) heating but the heavy current is probably being handled by a system relay. You can download the manual and installation document from Honeywell for additional information, and/or check with a heating contractor to be sure.

Yes. This model is actually compatible with natural gas as well. It contains a conversion kit. Jeff

Yes, provided the control voltage to the thermostat is roughly 24 volts or less. Just make sure your wall furnace doesn't send 120 volts to the thermostat. I've never seen one that does, but I've never seen yours! I'm guessing that this will work fine. I use 6 of these to control hot water baseboard heat (which uses a 24 VAC control voltage) and 1 more for a gas fireplace (that also runs off low voltage). BTW, assuming this is compatible with your system, it is a great thermostat.

I believe it can be used for natural gas or propane. When installing, follow instructions to prepare heater for natural gas connection. There is a specific way to set up the heater for either fuel source.

I believe so, check with your installer because this unit comes with two components,1: is the thermostat itself, 2: is a unit that connects at the furnace or AC unit.

if it's for a gas furnace its not hard if its for a heat pump you cant do it you have to hire someone

Yes. I have this thermostat on both just a furnace and a furnace with central air. Works great.

I would think it should. I have a heat pump and natural gas furnace as second heat source. Fan settings are Auto ,on or a recycle mode.

The programs are not fully different. You cannot set different times for each period for cooling and heating programs. E.g. with my old thermostat I could set Heating period start times at 6am, 12 pm, 4 pm and 10 pm, but for Cooling period at 7am, 11 am, 5 pm and 7pm. This is important for me since electricity rates are different for time of day where I live, but natural gas rates are the same, to in winter I do not care about time of day so much.With this thermostat, I will have to change times (e.g. reprogram the thermostat) twice a year. With old thermostat, I did not have to do this.

Yes, this device is made fora heat pump or central air, by just flipping a switch when installing. Very intuitive , you will have no issues.

I can only speak about my application. My application is natural gas with a 750 milli-volt pile generator. In this case the thermostat works flawlessly. I don't think it matters whether you're heating with natural gas or propane. Ensure the gas valve is compatible with the thermostat. Thermostats are generally low voltage items and I'm fairly confident your propane control system is compatible with this thermostat. But without reviewing the specifications I CANNOT accurately say yes or no.

I use it on propane but it should work with natural gas as well.. FYI it works well!

You would need to change the pressure regulator and jets to run the generator off natural gas. The gases are compatible, but the delivery pressure is different, hence the need to change a couple parts.

Yes, this will run a standard gas or oil furnace with no problem - it has more than enough punch. It will NOT run an ELECTRIC FURNACE, those are almost always 240 volt, and use a LOT of electricity. This is a 120 volt generator. It also won't run your Clothes Dryer, Electric Oven, or Electric Hot Water Heater or Central Air Conditioner. But it WILL run a rather good sized 120 volt window Air Conditioner and even a microwave oven at the same time, it works great for powering up and cooling down my 5th Wheel RV Trailer. If you are going to buy it to keep your oil or gas furnace going during a winter power loss, you need to plan TODAY for how you are going to connect it to your furnace. Easiest way it to "un hardwire" your furnace, and just have it on a cord that goes into a regular 120 volt plug. When the power goes out, just run an extension cord OUTSIDE to the generator, fire it up, plug in the furnace into the extension cord and you're good to go. (Absolutely do NOT run the generator inside of ANY structure. Not in a lawn building, not out in the garage, not in the barn. Even if you just run in there "for a minute" to refill the gas tank after it has run out of fuel, the Carbon Monoxide levels will be high enough to kill ya dead in no time flat. RUN THE GENERATOR ONLY IN THE OUT OF DOORS!!!) As far as the difference in the model numbers, I can see nothing in the specifications other than slightly different dimensions and a much different gas-tank style. I am very happy with my purchase of this model, and it seems to have a much better price.

I don't know if the burner is rated for natural gas. You would need a completely different regulator as well.
