I plan to have a Hydronic baseboard heater at each end of the main living room, will my current lux programable electric baseboard thermostat work?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. We still have a thermostat from the late 60's and that works like a charm.

You would have to check with the MFG. I would think not as they sell aftermarket thermostats for their specific units. I mounted one on the end of a unit in a small mud room and one on a wall in the basement. Plus this type of heat takes time to both heat and cool a room so using a programmed tunit may not make complete sense

These are 240 volt /30 amp requirement and your temperature control needs rated as such. If mechanical type (on/off) control, you need to have a 2 pole controller to break both hot lags from 240 v breaker.

Perhaps you have Lux ELV4. If so yes it will, all thermostats merely turn current on and off at selected temperature, it could turn on a light or sound a horn and turn on heater at selected temperature if so wired The ELV4 works with heating-only systems that are supplied by up to a 20 amp circuit breaker. It's universal design allows it to work with both single-pole (two-wire) and double-pole (four-wire)systems, 120/240-volt systems up to 16 amps (resistive: 1,900 watts at 120 VAC/3,800 watts at 240 VAC), and line voltage (120/240-volt) The PlF2004 240volt heater draws 8 amps, two 16 amps.

The short answer is "yes", you need a separate thermostat. The longer answer varies from "maybe" to "no". We bought the Dimplex heater to replace a similar one that we have been using of 25 years with just a switch - no thermostat. We have 2 of these heaters in bathrooms for the specific purpose of warming the bathroom when one was taking a bath or a shower. We are in Maine with primarily wood heat, so various rooms differ in heat levels quite a bit. Works fine, turn the heater on, take your tub or shower, then turn the heater off. If you want to use this heater to maintain a certain temperature in a room, then "yes" a thermostat is required. I believe the Dimplex heaters have provision for a thermostat to be mounted in the heater, not an ideal situation from my perspective, but it could work for some installations. Manual or Dimplex website has more info on this thermostat. Hope this helps. Richard, Camden, Maine

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!

Brian, when you are installing a thermostat for an electric unit garage heater you want to put it on the other side of the workshop, basement or garage..Please note you must you a Line Voltage Thermostat with the electric heater.. A low voltage thermostat will not work

Yes, in fact that's what I did. It's the exact same unit as the one I bought back then too. It will work fine with defaults but you will probably want to program it a little if you have things like temp and humidity currently configured. It's a easy though and the instructions tell you what to do.

If the existing thermostat just closes a low voltage circuit it should work. That's most two wire thermostats. The only other considerations are the minimum run time and the low & high set point. You can adjust the temp spread on this unit using jumpers inside it.

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

Hi Angie, the thremostat worked for me with the electric baseboard radiators, I veri confident it will work on the ceiling heat as well, just make sure you order the proper thermostat for the volatge you have , 120v, 240v etc. I hav ethese in two locations for two years and no problems so far.

Definitely. We have radiant flor heating (water pex) and thisthermostat (3 of them) have worked very well for years. Weuse the built-in relay that is part of the thermostat. Woops ...if you have electric radiant heat, you will need the relay!Ours is water via pex tubing.

Yes. The thermostat dial is also an on/ff switch. I do not recommend this heater for a bedroom as it is a bit noisy. Perfect for bathroom, mudroom, or den.

You can purchase a thermostat to use with it. We got this one and it works perfect in combo: Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat

I have no idea, but I removed the Lux unit after about a week as I found it hard to program and that it did not control the temperature very accurately. I went back to my old Honeywell unit until I can find a better one.

Yes it will. This is a basic thermostat with a thermo spring that controls the switch on and off for the furnace. That spring is temperature sensitive. It only goes by the temperature inside the dwelling. I have tested the one i have. It is only off by 2 degrees + or -.

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.

If the controllers in the AC units and the controllers in the heating units are compatible with the 5 button thermostats it will work, you better check the part numbers on the controllers (inside the units themselves) and call Dometic and make sure, these units are very specific with compatibility, even with other Dometic models and years. Their service dept is very helpful so you won't end up with very expensive book ends.

I don't see why not. My heating system is baseboard hot water and I have a thermostat for each zone. You probably have more than one zone for the radiant floor heating which is similar to baseboard. I hope this helped!

I've been running one on an Aube by Honeywell TH106/U Electric Heating 7-Day Programmable Thermostat Link: Aube by Honeywell TH106/U Electric Heating 7-Day Programmable Thermostat for several years and it works great.
