Will this thermostat work if you only have central electric heat and a central AC as in a mobile home.

Not sure about working on a mobile home ac. I bought it to use on my York heat pump unit. My problem turned out to be the electronics in the air handler.

the thermostat is only the temperature of the heat coming from the heat. not room temperature.good luck

I am an electrical engineer and I know how to do it, but I would not because there are thermostats built for that purpose. It is possible, but then you need to use a contactor or relay. So, this thermostat would drive the relay and the realy would turn on/off your AC. If you are an engineer or electrician, or you have one in the family try to do it. Otherwise, it would not be worth.

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!

From the interface to the thermostat, yes. If you have an existing thermostat with four wires, you should be fine. It can even act as your central humidistat with only four wires. Having the interface box probably simplifies things in many cases--especially in complex systems. I recommend drawing a simple schematic of your installation before you begin. I called Ecobee's support before buying. They were helpful.

Yes, this thermostat will work, as long as it controlled by a 2 wire system. I had mine installed before last winter (around Sept '14), it has worked fine all these months.

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.

No, as stated in the manual, the thermostat will only work on the high heat setting. I own this model and have comfirned that in practice as well.

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.

Would depend on type of current heating, if central electric could be a small saving as will keep area warm enough to keep central off. I moved to a rural area where electricity doubbled and gas is cheaper and electric raised my cost even with it reducing the amount of gas operation. Do not believe the usage claims are accurate unless you are in a low cost electricy area.

I assume it is electric baseboard heat in which case it is probably controlled by a relay. If you have a voltmeter or multimeter you can check the voltage at the thermostat wire. If it is approximately 24 volts then it will probably work.

Yes, as long as you have pre-set both the heat and a/c temps then put it on 'auto'. I love this about this thermostat since I don't have to turn on the heat or a/c separatelyJust be sure to follow the directions, it's pretty simple to do. Best thermostat we've ever had!!!

Yes, it will only provide heat because you have no A/C. I would say hook up the red & white and away you go. It is a really nice thermostat, we love the large display and how it lights up.Pat

1. I am not a Heating-AC technician so take what I say below with caution!2. I don't know for sure if a AC only model thermostat exists but, I think that I saw one somewhere while I was shopping for this one.3. I suppose if you left the Heat side wiring disconnected that this model thermostat may work for AC only but, I can't say for sure.

Probably will work. That's what I have and I have 6 of these for all the zones. My answer assumes your heating system uses low voltage at the thermostat (not 110V). And it probably does, but you should verify.

It depends on your existing thermostat. This unit requires 5 wires, with the 5th blue wire requiring 24V. If you have a modern 5 wire thermostat, it should work by hooking it up as you say. If you are currently hooked up to only 4 wires, I suggest getting an HVAC person to help out.

If you're only controlling heater, then use a 2 wire heat only unit like this one:Heat Only Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat
