What color wire goes where on a thermostat?
This is the most typical thermostat wiring style, and it applies to systems that regulate both heat and air conditioning. The wires are typically arranged as follows: red for 24-volt hot, white for heat, yellow for cooling, green for the fan, and blue for common (although the common wire may be a different color).
How do I know if my thermostat is 110v or 120V?
Turn off the power to your thermostat before checking the wiring as high voltages can be dangerous and even fatal. You can also look into the gang box of your existing thermostat. If you have black and white wires you likely have 120V. If you have black and red wires you likely have 240V.

How do I know if I need a double pole or single pole thermostat?
If you see two wires coming out of it in the back you have a single pole. If there are four wires, you have a double pole. If you have more than four wires coming out of your thermostat, you most likely have a low voltage one, which would be used to control a central furnace, boiler, or something similar.
When should you use a single pole thermostat?
Single Pole Thermostats While closing the circuit lets power run to the heater, so it can regulate room temperature. This is how a thermostat reaches its setpoint. A voltage from the electrical panel's L2 or neutral (N) wire is still present at the heater when a thermostat is in open (or 'off') state.
Can I replace a single pole thermostat with a double pole thermostat?

What is the difference between a 1 pole and 2 pole thermostat?
A single pole thermostat operates off one circuit, and therefore cannot operate separately. This means the power to the unit can only operate in one direction or electrical current. A double pole circuit, however, has two directional currents providing a double pole thermostat the ability to turn off completely.
