How does a thermostat turn on the air conditioner?
Jul 14, 2008 by tigerslide23 | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I'm going to build a computer controlled thermostat for my home but I can not find detailed information on how the thermostat actually turns the A/C on and off. Is it simply making a connection? What kind of voltage/current draw must it handle?
