UT, I just did mine and I have a heat pump too. They are different than baseboard electric, gas or oil and require a different thermostat. I bought mine at Lowes. You may have 8 or 9 wires, I forget already, but wiring a heat pump is totally different than the others. I don't know why, but it is. I bought a Honeywell for about $70 it was the cheapest programmable for my current system. After realizing the codes inside did NOT match my system I called the 800# (on a Saturday) and the guy walked me through it in about 10 mins. It was the best easiest thing I've done here so far, and I've had to do a lot. Installed new laminate floor refacing kitchen cabinets, replacing drywall in the ceiling, hanging new doors. . .
