What are the W and W2 wires on a thermostat?
Thermostat White Wire (“W1” or “W2” Wire) W wires go directly to the source of heating; that may be a furnace (gas, electric, oil, you name it) or heat pumps (mini-split heat pumps included). W2 is designated for two-stage heating. Most heat pumps include second-stage heating and require the white W2 wire.
Where does the blue and orange wire go on a thermostat?
Orange Wire For O And Dark Blue Wire For B (“O/B” Wire) “O” or the orange thermostat wire is for reverse valve cooling. Most bigger heat pump manufacturers like Trane, Goodman, Lennox, and so on have the orange wire that goes to the condenser (located in the outdoor unit of heat pumps).

How do you wire a heat pump?
Insert the high voltage wire through the hole on the side of the heat pump unit which is called a electrical knockout. Once wires are through the knockout use a electrical connector to secure them. High voltage wire should be sized from manufacturer’s recommendation for heat pump’s size and length of wire.
