Replacing Thermostat (Totaline to Hunter)
I am replacing my old thermostat that is non-programmable with one that is. Here is a picture of the old thermostat's wiring.
This is the wiring of the new thermostat.
There is no C wire slot, I'm not sure what to do with the blue wire and whether or not I still need to Jump the Y and W. Any help is appreciated.

Heat Pump ?
I have never seen a jumper between Y and W.
Perhaps the previous stat did not support heat pump, but it does have a reversing valve terminal..
If the new stat does not have a "c" terminal, then it must be battery powered and therefore does not need the common for power. I would tape it off and push into the wall, disconnect the other end from the equiptment.
Check your new stats manual to see how it supports a heat pump. (assuming you are using a heat pump)

Yes I believe I have a heat pump, I live in Arizona and generally there is not an actual heat unit. Im guessing it is a single stage heat pump since there is not system monitor/L wire with the old thermostat but I do not know for sure. Since Im guess it is a heat pump the wiring diagram shows only using the R Y G and O wires.. is this correct?
