In this video, Bryan Orr introduces and demonstrates the Fast-Stat Common Maker, an innovative solution for HVAC professionals who need to add a common wire to existing systems without running new thermostat cable. The Common Maker consists of two main components - a receiver unit that installs in your equipment cabinet and a sender unit that goes behind the thermostat.
This device is compatible with all 24V AC HVAC systems including furnaces, boilers, gas valves, and Aquastat controls, allowing WiFi and smart thermostats to operate reliably without batteries. Bryan walks through what's included in the box and explains how to create a working common wire connection using your existing thermostat cable.
