The AC unit is fully controlled by the contactor. If the unit turns off by thermostat control such as setting tstat to off, the contactor is ok. The thermostat could be the problem though. yeah i understand that but when i say old unit i mean its so old that the thermostat only have two cables the red one and the white one! the auto and cont the unit has it in the indoor unit!!!

Should you install a programmable thermostat for radiant water heating?

I think if you are using a radiant heating system like warm board that can respond quickly to changes in temperature then a programmable thermostat makes sense. However if you are using concrete slab radiant heat, which takes a long time to heat up and cool down a programmable thermostat will be less efficient than leaving it at one set temperature.

Will power surge through an air conditioning unit if the unit is turned off at thermostat?

This question is a little vague, but I'll make by best attempt. I am assuming you mean a whole-house HVAC unit, and that you are concerned with a possible power surge so you want to shut the unit off at the thermostat. If this is correct, you need to know that the thermostat doesn't control the HVAC unit the way a switch controls a light fixture. As long as your HVAC breaker is on, you will have AC power at the HVAC unit. This usually includes at least a condenser unit outside and a blower either outside or inside. All the thermostat does is tell the HVAC components when to use the power applied and when to do nothing. The power does not flow through the thermostat to the HVAC like power through a switch to a light. Think of it this way: 'Off' on the thermostat doesn't mean power off. It means 'power available, but unit not running'. So, if you want to protect your HVAC from the potential of a power surge you will have to shut off the circuit breaker(s) feeding the HVAC components, not the thermostat.

1986 Buick Skylark. I crank it up every morning and when I drive on the freeway it shuts down completely and won't start back up until it cools off. What is my problem?

It might be a cooling problem such as the thermostat. I think you should get the cooling system checked. Something is causing it to overheat.

Could an air conditioner be grounded if off at thermostat?

When dealing with HVAC systems, notice that there are two systems at work, and two possibilities for failure: the HVAC control system, and the actual HVAC unit. Determine if your problem is in the function of the controller (blank screen, not turning on, relay does not click on when fan or thermostat is set past current temperature), or in the HVAC unit (thermostat relay is clicking but HVAC fan does not turn on, condenser outside fan is not spinning, etc.) If the air conditioner was 'grounded', as I understand it, I would think your HVAC breaker would trip. This should help you figure out your problem.

Why doesn't the fan on a 1996 Bonneville super charger wont turn on after the car has been runing for a while?

Several possible problems. Temp switch that controls fan has failed, fan itself could have failed, thermostat is stuck open so engine is not getting hot enough to turn on fan. also check the relay on the firewall. I think it is the second or third relay
