Does this work with an electric heat pump system? It has an auxillary propane heat for times the heat pump can't handle it.

That is how our place is set up and it works wonderfully. We can control both the heat and the air conditioning in both upstairs and downstairs zones, using 2 different thermostats. Web interface works with mobile phones, too.

Yes. I have it configured with heat pump, along with emergency elec heat - to make sure you have the advanced model.

I believe they have a model that does. You can can contact their help line to find out for certain, I did before purchasing our second controller and they were very helpful. By the way we have been using these for a few years have worked flawlessly...we love them.

My husband says it only works with propane the way it is set up. Possibly you could run it with natural gas but you would maybe have to change out the regulator or something. Like you would hardwire a gas stove.

We are using this programmable thermostat to control pumps that in turn start the propane water heater that heats the water for our radiant floor system. We do not have a fan or blower or heat pump. We have used a similar programmable with a natural gas furnace.

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

If you want it to work on "Automatic", while plugged into 120 AC power. Otherwise it will only run on propane ( which it does while driving or any time not plugged in)Hope that helps, John

Yes, it has settings for heat pumps or natural gas. I use it on my natural gas furnace.

The one I have is for Natural Gas. They do make a propane Model. Eccotemp FVI12-LP

Don't know about electric, but works very well on propane and charcoal grills

It should work just fine with a low voltage alarm circuit with 24 volts, works fine with my low voltage circuit on my heat pump ... hope this my help.

My heater is connected to a 300 gallon propane tank so I can't answer your question. My heater is a backup in case an electric heater fails. It has never been used even once.

Just tried this as it's 100 degrees outside. You'll hear it try to ignite the propane but with none connected it just gives up after a little while but the pump continues to run.

Yes. It can use either propane or natural gas. My unit came ready for propane but changing fuel type was a simple procedure. It works well -- heats both floors of my two story home.

Check propane levels, keep purging line of air, several attempts may be needed. Check exhaust for debris (mud dauber nest clogging). The quick connect will not help you. My refrigerator works fine on propane but not on electric! (new camper!)

No, I haven't done that. The tank works great for camping as a stove and light propane source, with the relevant equipment. If the heater you mention is supposed to work with standard propane tanks, then sure, it should work on this one.

Not sure. I never used the heater. It was for a just in case situation. I do think the answer depends on what size propane bottle you hook it up to though

I cannot find anything for an energy star claim. the main thing is to use it on a system that does not have aux heat if you are using a heat pump. it is apparently NOT a fully smart system.

I am no expert, but I think that basically you have a heat pump (w/ Aux & Em) like I do, so this thermostat should work as expected; actually, for me, it is a great unit, better than a more expensive model I had before!
