Will this work for baseboard heat connected to load management? At times power to the baseboard heaters will be cut for up to seven hours.

Doesn't matter as it gets its power from the line. Please make sure you don't exceed the voltage and wattage ratings

A 10' heater is too much for that thermostat. It is supposed to work up to 2000watts and 8.33amps but it doesn't operate right for an 8' which is 2000watts. I tried to get Honeywell to help me but they couldn't be bothered. Specs say 250watts per foot for baseboard heat. I have several of these on 8' applications and I am stuck with them because of Honeywells lack of cooperation.

I believe it will, I have baseboard heat and it works fine. I have it on a table in my bedroom, am thinking about getting another one for my living room. I hope this helps.

No, it will turn on with motion and then go off after a preset time of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, minutes. Not for big loades like heaters, fans.

yes. it has 3 options: low heat, medium heat, and full power (low + medium on), and a mechanical thermostat. so, if you put it on a timer when turned on, it should work. one important thing to watch out for, though- heaters use a lot of power, so you'd want a timer that can handle that kind of service load. i think most timers are designed for lights and other low power loads.

It really does over heat. If used on full power, the unit won't last more than 5 hours.

Usually the watts rating is on the back of the plug. If the heater rating is less than this it will work.

It will power them but it will probably overheat. I would go with a bigger unit than this.

I did not find that it cut down on electric usage. Ours is mainly used to heat the back part of the house and is not used on a continuous basis. That being said, it does do a really good job heating the area we use it in.

Assuming you have decent insulation, you will need about 6 watts of heating power per sq foot. Electric baseboards pump out about 250watts per linear foot. 12 x 12 = 144 sq ft * 6 W/sq ft = 864W required. This 6' baseboard outputs 1500W. So you are more than good.

It is very safe, cheaper to run than a baseboard or coil heater. The only draw back is it takes about 30 minutes+ to heat a normal master bedroom.

You use 250 watts for every foot of electric base board heating. Saying that, if they are connected to come on at the same time you will drawing 4000 watts when they are on. The specs for this thermostat are: Maximum load: 14.6 A (resistive only) 3500 W @ 240 VAC 1750 W @ 120 VAC So to answer your question, NO, since this thermostat can only handle 3500 watts.

I have 5 of them and none run warm however all are controlling less than 75% of their capability. If you are running at max wattage rating it may run warm. I would check your current draw to ensure you are not exceeding the wattage ratting. Wattage=current x voltage, if you have a 220 volt line and the heater is drawing 10 amps your wattage is 2,200. Your baseboard should have a wattage rating on it so you should not have to actually measure the amperage with a meter, just make sure it is less than the rating of the thermostat.

don't buy it if you need it for anything serious. It has enough wattage but the auto-shut-off temperature was set too low so it does shut off every 1-2 minutes if turned to max heat.

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

My baseboard heaters are eight feet long. At 240 V & 250 watts per foot, draw is 2k watts. I am very pleased with this thermostat, less than five minutes to install.

That would be a great idea. I never tried that but don't think it would work. the controls (mine has two) have to be set manually each time to the heat setting you want. They shut off after about 10 -12 hours. They will not come on automatically by adding power. 9
