I have a furnace/thermostat question for you. I want to install a Honeywell wifi thermostat in the house here. It requires a c wire for constant power.
The old thermostat is a basic Mercury 2 wire but there are 3 wires running between the furnace and thermostat. The instructions say there should be a connection block on the furnace but the 2 wires go directly onto the circuit board on the Reillo BF 5 burner. I can't see where I would hook the 3rd wire to a c connection. Any ideas or thoughts ?

The red/black wires on the bottom right hand side are the thermostat wires and it is printed 'thermostat' on the board.

it appears that your furnace does not come AC ready.as far as I know all newer furnaces have a terminal strip on the board labelled R,W,C,Y,G for basic boards.if you have a good service guy in your town he can install a fan center for you to get all the terminals you need.:rocker:

Thanks everyone. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418322805.855429.jpg

I found this wiring diagram on another thread. I will see if I can make that work.

Where do you buy relays?

I do have a terminal strip beside my burner but the thermostat is connected directly to the circuit board on the burner. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418326519.291907.jpg

I do not have any voltage across the r and c terminals.
