Baseboard install heaters are very efficient types of heater which can be made even more efficient by using electric programmable thermostats. Programmable thermostats can actually be treated like an investment because they will help your heating system to save lots of energy. Buying and installing a thermostat can actually reduce your heating costs by over 20%. Some models are very affordable and they will pay for themselves many times over their lifetime. With the right tools and equipment you won't have a problem installing a programmable thermostat control in your home. Step 1 - Research Do some research so that you can choose the right programmable thermostat to purchase. There are lots of different types of thermostats which can cost anywhere between $25 right up to $250 depending on their features.
You need to do research so that you choose the right thermostat which will suit your needs. When installing programmable thermostats for an electric baseboard heater you must be confident you can do the work. You might also want to get a professional electrician to sign your work off.
Step 2 - Looking at Your Thermostat Take the cover off your old thermostat and take a look at all the wires inside. If the wires are very thin then this will mean that you have a low voltage heating system. It's only a good idea for anyone to work with the high voltage systems unless they are experienced. Step 3 - Installing the Thermostat Once you have brought the programmable thermostat it's then necessary to install it. Turn the power off at the circuit breaker to protect yourself. You must make sure that the power is off before working with any of the electrical systems in your home.
Take the cover off the old thermostat and disconnect the wires. If the wires are not marked then now would be a good time to mark them up before removing them.
Step 4 - Batteries Put new batteries inside of your thermostat. Then hold the thermostat against the wall and position it properly, use a pencil to mark it in the right place, use a spirit level to ensure that everything is level. Mark all of the mounting hole locations on the wall with a pencil so you know where to drill.
These holes must be marked accurately because you don't want to drill lots of holes in your wall. Once you are happy they are accurate you can then drill the holes in the wall and screw the thermostat onto the wall. Step 5 - Wiring Now you need to wire the thermostat back into the wires. Make sure that each wire is connected to the right terminal. Step 6 - Testing Now turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and then test the circuit.
If the fuse instantly blows then this probably means that the thermostat has been wired up incorrectly. Test that the programmable thermostat works and can control your baseboard heating system.
How would I go about installing a thermostat for my bedroom's baseboard heater? I've seen lots of articles on how to replace an old thermostat but I'm installing a thermostat for the first time here. The heater is currently controlled by a dial on the heater, there is no thermostat. Do I have to rip out drywall to follow the 240 wire? Is there a different way to trace where to 240 wire flows in the wall? Is it as easy as figuring out where the 240 wire vertically climbs the wall and install a thermostat inline? In most thermostat installation guides, it's recommended to install the thermostat on an interior wall across from the heater.
If you trace the existing wires, it's possible the thermostat will end up above the heater. This is not ideal, and could lead to a poorly heated room. You might get lucky, but in most cases there are a couple more appropriate options. Use the heater as junction point There should be an area of the heater used to make electrical connections. If this area is large enough, you can use it to extend the supply conductors out to the thermostat and back. Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker/fuse box, and insure it's off using a non-contact voltage tester.
Run 2 new cables (4 wires, 6 if the circuit has grounding conductors) from the heater to the thermostat location. Disconnect the supply conductors from the heater. Using twist-on wire connectors (or any approved means), connect the supply conductors to one set of conductors leading to the thermostat. Connect the other set of conductors from the thermostat to the heater.
Make the connections at the thermostat. Turn the power back on, and enjoy.
Pull all new cable The other option is to pull all new cable. Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker/fuse box, and insure it's off using a non-contact voltage tester. Pull a cable from the breaker/fuse panel to the thermostat location. Pull a cable from the thermostat location to the heater.
Disconnect the existing cable from the heater, and remove the cable. Connect the new cable to the heater. Make the connections at the thermostat. Connect the new cable in the breaker/fuse panel to the breaker/fuse used previously.
Turn the power back on, and enjoy.
When it comes to picking home warming options, electric baseboards are one of the most affordable options on the market. They don't require ducts or vents and take up a small amount of space, so no major installation is required. However, it can still be difficult for homeowners to predict the cost to install one for their unique homes. The first step is to talk to a licensed electrician who can help you assess the best course of action for your home. Once you do that, there will be a couple of common factors that will affect the rate to install an electric baseboard or wall heater.
Electric Radiant Floors - $8 - $12 per sq. Consist of cables in floor or electrically-conductive, plastic mats mounted on the subfloor. Most cost-effective if they include a significant thermal base like a thick, concrete floor.
If offered by a company, time-of-use rates increase efficiency by allowing you to charge the base with warmth overnight. Hydronic Radiant Floors - $6 - $16 per sq. Less expensive and more popular. Pump-heated water from a boiler through tubes under the floor. Regulate room temperatures with pumps and thermostats to control the flow of hot water through the tubes or zoning valves. Factors that affect price: size of home, type of installation, existing floor covering, and labor charges.
Bedrooms: Effective for bedrooms because less is required than in living areas. Bedrooms can remain at lower temperatures since you sleep under covers. Bathrooms: Wall heaters are preferable to baseboards in bathrooms because they heat more quickly and can provide additional wattage without requiring additional space.
A 1000-watt baseboard will require four feet of linear floor space, while an equivalent heater only requires a 10-inch-by-12-inch rectangle of vertical wall space. Basements: Best option for a finished basement is an electric baseboard heater.
Inexpensive, space-saving systems operate independently and dont require expensive modifications to existing system. Most regions will not require much heat in a basement. Ensure walls are well-insulated and seals are air-tight to keep costs down. Garages: Can be expensive to operate in areas of the home that are not fully insulated like garages.
A better option in climates where temperatures rarely drop below freezing. Take steps to insulate and seal rooms to maximize efficiency and minimize expense. Near Drapes and Curtains: Electric elements are a fire hazard when placed near flammable materials. Keep curtains and other decorative elements at least 12 inches from baseboards. Hydronic units operate at lower temperatures and are considered safe even when covered by floor-length drapery. Decorations can trap heat and prevent it from circulating, reducing efficacy and efficiency. Near Beds or Furniture: Placing upholstered chairs or couches directly in front of a unit can trap the outflow of heat in a small area, allowing it to build up and the upholstery to spark and catch fire.
It can also limit the amount of space that receives warmth. Keep a three-foot surrounding area clear of any furnishings to maximize the safety and efficiency of your system. Near Cabinets: Same rules apply for cabinets and built-in furnishings as for standalone furniture pieces. Consult with a professional before installing in areas where built-in cabinets are present. Overall, the cost to install a baseboard will depend on the number of units you need to install and the amount of work required to make that happen. These are typically used to supplement another type of heating system, so the amount may depend on that.
Still, electric baseboards are much less expensive than installing a new furnace or installing new ducts for a system., you should be able to complete this job affordably. Just make sure to talk to at least three professionals before choosing a contractor to ensure you find someone you can trust and who understands your needs.
Technically it is possible to use a smart thermostat such as the Nest with electric baseboard or wall heaters, but we no longer recommend it. 24, 2016 After further research and discussion with Honeywell, we’re revising our stance on smart thermostats. We no longer recommend that you attempt to install a smart thermostat to use with our products. In the past few weeks we’ve been in discussions with Honeywell to get more solidified recommendations on specific relays and thermostats that can be made to work with line voltage heaters. We even began the process of bringing new parts and products into our system so we could sell the solution directly.
Somewhere along the way we learned that the relays Honeywell was recommending for this install don’t actually provide enough power to support smart and wifi thermostats for the long term. Even though we have performed successful testing with the Lyric and Nest thermostats in our engineering lab, we have concerns about the ongoing reliability and durability of this work around. We suspect running a smart thermostat with one of these relays as the power source may lead to the draining of the thermostat’s internal batteries. We’re attempting to get more information from Honeywell and will post any updates as soon as we have concrete information. We’re truly sorry for those of you who found this post in the past. Our goal with our blog is to support our customers’ needs and to provide good, useful information to make them successful using our products in their home.
We felt there were a growing number of you who were interested in having a smart thermostat or wifi control option with our heaters. In the past we felt this was a good solution. Unfortunately we don’t anymore.
We want to make sure you have the latest information. Thank you for understanding.
We’ve updated the original post (below) to be more in line with our current stance on smart thermostats: Looking to hook up a smart thermostat to your wall or electric baseboard heater? It’s technically possible to make one work but you’ll need to do a lot of extra work and research. Here’s why: The Honeywell Lyric, Nest and other smart thermostats are designed to work with central home heating systems. Those are controlled by, which use 24 volts. Electric baseboard and fan heaters work with line-voltage thermostats, which can be. If you hooked up a low-voltage thermostat directly to one of our heaters it would fry the thermostat. Not the best way to spend $250. But that’s where relays and transformers come in. The transformer converts the line voltage power into low voltage power to provide energy to the relay and the thermostat.
The relay is then a bridge between the thermostat and the heater, allowing the low voltage thermostat to control the line voltage heater. (Keep in mind that you’ll need one smart thermostat for each older thermostat you are replacing.) You’ll want to make sure that you have a relay that’s properly sized to provide power to your heater. You’ll also need to get a transformer that’s properly sized to power your relay and thermostat. (This is where you’ll need to consult your thermostat, relay and transformer manufacturers.) You also need to check and make sure your transformer and relay works with your heater’s voltage. Installation outline The specifics of the installation process will depend on what thermostat, relay, transformer and heater you have in your home, but here’s how it will work in general:. The relay and transformer will need to be installed somewhere out of the way that is still accessible (like inside a closet, in a crawlspace or in an attic).
Line voltage wires will run from your circuit to the relay/transformer. Line voltage wires will then go from the relay to the heater; all line voltage connections with the relay must be made inside a surface mounted metal junction box. Low voltage wires will be connected to the relay/transformer (outside of the junction box with the line voltage connections) and will run through the wall to the thermostat, which will be installed on the wall.
The relay turns the heater on or off using the signal from the thermostat. Which smart thermostats will work? We’ve tested this setup in our lab with the and Nest but we can’t verify this method will work with all low voltage thermostats or in all situations. We also suspect that this installation method may drain the thermostat’s batteries, making it necessary to replace them on a pretty regular basis. If you have to have smart features or Wi-Fi connected thermostats, this method will potentially work for you but we hope to have a better solution in the near future.
Have you thought about creating a lightweight WiFi-based system that represents itself as a central HVAC system virtually? If you throw some good engineers with a couple arduinos to do a proof of concept, then have Honeywell Lyric or Google Nest control this set of cadet heaters as if it were a single HVAC system (ie. Make a virtual C-wire) and distribute the On/Off controls yourself, you could produce a very simple and elegant solution.
Then commission this work out to the contractor of your choice for a product worthy distributed thermostat system. Hopefully the end result would allow homeowners to select distribution of heat using your solution. Then homeowners can install headless units at every Cadet thermostat location. Then a single smart thermostat (Lyric/Nest) in some central location of the home. The homeowner would interface via the thermostat product of their choice. Hi folks- Any new developments on smart thermostats and Cadet baseboard heaters? I have a CST402T in my “Grandpa” unit and I’d like to install a Honeywell WiFi 9000 or comparable to control it.
My father has difficulty setting and remembering to adjust the built-in thermostat. Being able to remotely monitor and adjust it myself would be a great help. I was disappointed to see the post from October 2016 stating that you don’t recommend smart thermostat installations with these units. Is this still the case? Hey there everyone! I have been told that I have a HVAC thermostat for my central AC, it is somehow an old thermostat( Manufacturer: RUUD).
I was looking to replace this with a Nest thermostat. I already contacted Nest about this, but they currently do not support this. I moved to Dubai from Chicago (from freezing temperatures to fire temperatures), so I would like to have my AC on and have my flat cooled down by the time I get home. I snapped a few pictures, looks like I have 4 relays already, however not sure how I would connect the Nest thermostat to the existing wires. There is a company here that is installing Nest thermostats, however they are charging about $450 for the installation, which is unreasonable. Below are the pictures I took:. Hey Collin, Thanks for reaching out.
We don’t have a Cadet branded solution today but are still researching options for the future. You are correct, our sister company Dimplex North America does make a system that can be controlled through Wi-Fi. This system is centered around the Wi-Fi CONNEX™ Controller and CONNEX™-compatible Dimplex heaters. We’re still in the process of learning about this system, but we’d be happy to do what we can to help you find the right heaters over the phone. Can you please send me an e-mail so we can coordinate from there? I don’t see why this setup would drain the batteries from a smart thermostat or compromise the longevity of a smart thermostat as long as the transformer could handle the wattage from each relay and the smart thermostat. The transformer and relays in a central heat/a.c.
Wireless Baseboard Thermostat
Unit functions exactly the same way. They are even wired the exact way as described in this article in electric central heating unit. The slight difference is you’d be running a bigger relay. For example If your relays draw 25 watts and you need three of them and the smart thermostat uses another 25 watts then you would need a minimum of a 125 watt transformer to power everything reliably. Honeywell and nest are covering their asses with their statement most likely because it’s something they have never tested. Ill be converting my homes baseboard heat and using an ecobee 3 smart thermostat using a similar method. I want zone control though so I have to figure out how to do that first.
Paul I have a 2 different thermostats I would like your opinion on. I am looking for a WIFI thermostat to attache to a wall heater.
I want the WiFi as I am often gone and my old house is very poorly insulated. I want the flexibility to have it warm when I get home. I know, insulate is the best answer and in the plan just not budgeted currently. The 2 thermostats in question are NUHEAT AC0055 SIGNATURE WiFi Touchscreen Programmable Dual-Voltage Thermostat the second is ATMOZ2-240-WiFi.
ATMOZ also makes ATMOZ1-240 WiFi. What are your thoughts on these thermostats? Do you recommend the 2 pole or 1 pole thermostat? Hi paul i bought a 2 circuit 10kw relay (R841E1068) to connect two electric baseboard heating circuits to the relay to use one sensi wireless thermostat. I have most of the wiring figured out with two exceptions: 1, i read on your cadet documentation that i should connect the white and white yellow together. I now have a combined white and a red wire that i need to hook up to the sensi.
Can you tell me which terminals on the thermostat i connect them to? 2, neither the wiring diagram on the relay cover or the schematic in the enclosed docs show me how to hook up the wires from the relay to two separate 220 breakers.
It only shows two wires (the blue connects to both loads and go to power. The black and black yellow go to the other power lead.) coming from the relay to power but i have 2-220 circuits coming from the panel running into the wiring enclosure. Per the docs, the question is how do i wire the two wires from the relay to the four legs coming from the two 220 breakers? Paul, 2 questions on NEST controlling electric baseboard heaters: 1- How do you configure the NEST for electric baseboard heater? They show options for heating system fuel source and include ELECTRIC. Is the ELECTRIC option the right one to choose?
They say they don’t support electric baseboard heater. 2- I have purchased a Honeywell 840T mechanical relay that supports “long cycle” times (e.g.
NEST does not specify a cycle time. Is the NEST compatible with this relay? Thank you very much! You are the only one helping with info on this subject. It is very much appreciated.
Mayur, Sorry I didn’t get back sooner. Just ran your question past our tech support person. You can use the NLW with a Nest if you connect the heater to a relay. Just remember that the thermostat built into the NLW needs to be turned up fully clockwise (don’t adjust it) and the fan/auto switch must be left in the Auto position for the Nest to control the heater. Built in controls should not be removed off the NLW or the warranty would become void. If you have any more questions, please let us know so we can help!
Honeywell Electric Baseboard Heat Thermostats
You have got lots of choices in thermostats, especially when the product is for your living room or a general purpose room. But when it comes to choosing a baseboard heater thermostat, you don’t have lots of choices available at hand. One primary reason is the high-end models in thermostats do not support baseboard usage. Most of the high-end thermostat models are incompatible to be used as a baseboard heater thermostat. So what do you do? There are thermostats specially designed to be used as baseboard heater thermostats. And we are reviewing the best models out there in the market here.
The primary reason to buy and install a thermostat in your home is to cut down energy bills and save money. In fact, investing in the right is the best way to save energy bills.
The money invested in a thermostat will be regained within a few months of installation. Before getting to the reviews section lets first see how to choose the right baseboard heater thermostat for your home.
Criteria to Choose the right Baseboard Heater Thermostat Line Voltage or Low Voltage – A line voltage system uses direct line voltage unlike the newer models (which uses a low voltage like 24 volts). Are used in older homes and constructions especially with the baseboard heaters and electric heaters. The power wires are thicker and they run on 120 volts or 240 volts. Single Pole or Double Pole – A single pole thermostat connects to the electric mains via 2 wires.
You can not shut the power to a single pole thermostat. As an alternative method (to shut power), you can set a very low temperature in the thermostat setting to prevent heat coming up to the room. Double pole thermostat connects to the electric mains via 4 wires. It is possible to shut power to the double pole thermostat system at any desired time. So double pole has an advantage over single pole. Mechanical or Electronic – A mechanical thermostat operates with two bonded metals which bend as temperature changes.
The switche will turn ON/OFF as the bonded metal bends towards it. Mechanical thermostats lack efficiency and they waste a lot of energy compared to electronic models. The only advantage of mechanical thermostat is its low price. Electronic thermostats come with high precision temperature sensors and fast switching. They sense room temperature and turn ON/OFF the system accordingly. Electronic models are highly effeicient and they save energy. The higher price you pay for an electronic model can be regained within a few months of installation.
Programmable or Non-Programmable – The primary difference between the two is that a programmable model can be programmed for 7 days in different combinations like 5-2, 2-2-1, 7 etc. Programmable thermostats adjust itself according to the program. For example, some models have “ vacation mode” and if this mode is set, the thermostat will adjust itself and save a lot of energy bills (in vacation mode they work only minimal time preventing freeze). Nonprogrammable models come at a lesser price but they dont have programming capabilities.
Reviews – Top 7 Baseboard Heater Thermostat Models Let’s begin the detailed review of baseboard heater thermostat models out there in the market. We have shortlisted the 7 top and best baseboard heater thermostat models based on user reviews and product features. 1.
