i don't imagine this, &amp; the thermostat, just plug into a wall outlet. install instructions adequate to self-install, or will an electrician be needed?

I hadn't put the dry wall up yet, in my project. So it was easy to do the wiring with a GFI in the line with the thermostat. You wouldn't want to just plug it in to a wall socket.

I put it in a Quelet 10000 watt heater. It allows you to control this unit with a regular low voltage thermostat. The heater I bought seems to be designed to go with this relay. It took me a little bit to figure out how this was wired, but if I recall it was very simple I did this almost 2 years ago

No, I would think that for most in-the-floor heaters and especially for bathroom usage, one must power this thermostat and the heater with a GFCI circuit. I know I had to rewire my system to add (convert) another GFCI circuit for my new in-the-floor heater.Rob2's answer makes me wonder if this thermostat has more capability than I remember -- will try to find the manual and check later.Checked the manual, and it says nothing about GFCI. Either use a GFCI circuit breaker (expensive) or an 'upstream' GFCI receptacle.

Yes. I have two on one thermostat. Each heater has it's own breaker and two pole relay. In your case you would have three breakers and three relays. Then all you need to have control voltage through your wall thermostat (120 v) to energize the control relays.

The instructions for wiring are totally inadequate. Google the device and look for a wiring diagram. Once wired correctly, it will switch automatically between heating and cooling (two different outlets).

I would somone with A/C or electrical experience. I have some experience with home repairs and was able to install it myself. It's really not difficult if you have a nearby outlet for power. John.

Mary, I am not an electrician. I also did not have corresponding yellow wires, but did have two wires that went into the unit I replaced. I just connected to the two wires going into old thermostat and I was good to go.

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

I paid a HVAC guy to install it with a Honeywell thermostat that works this also, he wouldn't warranty it but I saved a lot of money and money well spent for the install. If your handy I know others have said it's fairly easy but I wanted the thermostat too which is really nice. Money well spent in my book. Enjoy!

If the circuit is controlled by this thermostat, yes. If your wiring goes from the breaker directly to the heaters, no. This thermostat is intended to replace wall mounted thermostats, not on-board thermos. If you are replacing a wall mount thermo, then a series wired set of heaters is ok. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum amperage for the entire set. So Amperage = (sum of watts of all heaters on the circuit)/208 volts. The max load for this thermo is 12.5 Amps or 2600 watts total at 208V. Consult with your favorite electrician if you are unsure.

Hi Art, I had an electrician run a wire and install an outdoor, weather protection covered, outdoor GFI power outlet on exterior wall. I plugged the heater's power cord into it. Don't hard wire it, as it's handy to be able to unplug the heater when you need to service or repair it. Make it a "two gang" outlet so you can use the other socket for other purposes. If you're asking about a back-up source of power in the event of a complete power outage, I'm not sure what to use for that. Amazon reviews mention using power back-up that's used for computers. The controller was included in box. It looks like a remote, but it is wired to the heater. The wire are not long enough to attach the controller to the wall. So it's just dangling under the heater. I'll need to figure out a way to attach it to the wall.

No. You can add a GFCI outlet in front of the circuit to provide protection to the thermostat. Read the GFCI outlet wiring instructions carefully and when done test it to make sure the power to the thermostat is off.

You need a separate thermostat that can wire and mount to the unit or run it off a line voltage wall thermostat.. This model runs on 240volt supply. Check the website King-electric.com for useful info then you can order from Amazon. All types of these must be hard wired to supply voltage. Gives great heat, really well made.

If this unit comes unopened, then there are instructions for installation included. If you are interested in how to wire for your situation then do a "search on images" on "wiring receptacle and switch combo". There are different ways to wire this if you want the outlet to be "on" all the time.

I did it myself, with basic knowledge of wiring. You might have to do a bit of research depending on your units wiring, but it really isn't any harder than any other thermostat.

My HVAC setup is old and did not supply power (C wire) to the thermostat. I purchased a 24V transformer from now-nonexistent RadioShack to drive the thermostat. It's plugged in in my bedroom closet, and the wire is ran up to the attic and down into the wall where the thermostat is installed. Everything has been working great for 3 years so far.

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!
