Answer to Question 1

This coating is very thin but effective in preventing the contacts from becoming quickly damaged from the momentary arc as they open and close. This arc would normally cause the contacts to weld themselves together.

Answer to Question 2

Go to the service screens on the communicating thermostat and read the fault history
