Is it possible to use this thermostate to replace a line voltage thermostate(two wire) controlling an electric baseboard heater?

Not sure...Best go look at how to configure it at http://www.radiothermostat.com/filtrete/

Exactly what I had in my bathroom. Please make sure you have "Line Voltage" supplying your thermostat/baseboard . This is made for a 240 VAC configuration; 4-wire, meaning two from the "load" (the baseboard heater), and two from your "source" (from your circuit breaker panel)...Make sure your present thermostat is wired the same way, and designed for 240 VAC...Easy to install, and it looks and works great. Instructions is easy to read.

I'm not an electrician but the thermostat is NOT wireless so I would imagine it wouldn't matter how far away it is as long as it's wired to the heater.

Yes, use a wall thermostate the you would use with a electric baseboard heater.

Hello Joe, this thermostat is for Heat and Cooling system. it control both heater and air conditioner and I have 4 wires to the unit. I'm not sure it would work with only 2 wire controller.

Yes, as long as the heater is not rated for over 5000 watts. Its a simple thermostat. One contact (2 wires) closes or opens by the heat setting and the other contact (2 wires) opens in the off position.

You know that this is a 120VAC heater? I think they make 12VDC versions but unless you have an inverter mounted somewhere, this is not going to work.

James, There is a built in thermostat on the unit, with a little work you could rewire that control to a line voltage thermostat like the Honeywell T451A2007. I am happy with the built in control, I just use a step stool if I need to change the temperature.

Its a line-voltage thermostat. Typically it would take the place of a wall switch to control a switched plug. If you are looking for something to replace a 24 VAC furnace thermostat, this is not it.

Doubt it. Thermostats are low voltage. Cost would be high but you can use a step down transformer. In real life - just turn the stupid thing on or off!

Yes, it has built-in relay & 24volt transformer, so it allows low voltage (24v components) control of the line voltage (240v) loads... Which is the 240 v baseboard heat er(s). Fits in heater wiring compartment.

yes, but you would need to have a electrician bypass the built in thermostat, this might affect the UL rating and some electricians may be un willing to do it. due to the high amperage load, a line voltage thermostat is not built to switch this heater without a relay and contactor.

It needs two wires for 24volts. Just installed one at my home. It's a great thermostat and the install is not difficult, just give yourself an afternoon to make it look nice. Make sure that the control unit can be mounted at least two feet from the thermostat.

It is a wire for wire replacement. However mine failed after about 10 days ( on off on off.....). It would have burned ac motor out if I hadn't been there. I have modified a home programmable control. Better temperature control and can be programed. Only down side so far is control runs its backup batteries as the control voltage supplied to the thermostat from the ac/heater is not compatible with the programmable control. See http://www.modmyrv.com/2008/07/14/rv-digital-thermostat for an example of this mod.

If you look at it from the Thermostat point of view, you have two line voltages coming in (red, black) and two out (red, black). If you can install the relay there it's the same wiring as we described earlier.If you install the relay at the heater, you'll need to run low voltage wiring to where you want to locate the thermostat.

I am using one of these with an Intertherm electric hot water baseboard heater. I am also using one for electric forced hot air heaters. It works great for both applications.

I replaced an old 2-wire thermostat (mercury switch) with this controller. Works great.
