Hi , I have a Slantfin gas furnace with hot water baseboard heat, will this work as it is , or do I need anything additional. Thanks

It probably will work. However you may run into a situation like I did. I had to install a 250 ohm resister on my furnace circuit board (as noted in the troubleshooting section of the Venstar wireless receiver book. My local furnace repair shop was not much help and would not help me hock up the wireless thermostat. But I was careful (shut off the power to the furnace) when I swapped out the thermostat with the wireless thermostat and I didn't have any issues. I went to Radio Shack to get the 250 ohm resister (approx. $7). My suspicions are, if you furnace is 15 years old or older, you will need to add the resister - but if your furnace is newer than that you will not need the resister. Good Luck. I've used my wireless for 2 years without any issues.

It is as basic as can be, just a two wire thermostat. A quad baseboard system is news to me. Just be aware this is a simple device. Mine works perfectly on a hot water baseboard system.

Jerry had good advice. If you do not have testing equipment and are not familiar with the components of the unit you would be better advised to call a heating contractor.

Yes, use a wall thermostate the you would use with a electric baseboard heater.

I have not used this thermostat. Unfortunately I did not read it's use very well and did not need a thermometer for baseboard heat. Sorry

This is not a DYI for the timid. This part is an OEM replacement. It will work. If you can read the wiring diagrams on your furnace, you should be able to set the dip switches using the instruction manual in the box. If you dont know how...STOP AND CALL A PROFESSIONAL. Also, if you burned up your board, replace your capacitor. Cheap swap for a common cause of board failure.

yes this worked on mine.... but you will find out that you have to completely disassemble the furnace to get the old out and new one in..... pay attention when you take it apart. you will prob tear the exhaust gasket to the heat exchanger so order that also. my burner was in bad shape so replaced burner, gasket, and motor.... been working great all thru fall and winter ... much quieter than before. just take your time and snap some pictures. should definitely made far easier to swap motors that what you're about to go thru. don't take any chances with the gasket.... its not worth dieing over a ten dollar part. yes this worked on mine.... but you will find out that you have to completely disassemble the furnace to get the old out and new one in..... pay attention when you take it apart. you will prob tear the exhaust gasket to the heat exchanger so order that also. my burner was in bad shape so replaced burner, gasket, and motor.... been working great all thru fall and winter ... much quieter than before. just take your time and snap some pictures. should definitely made far easier to swap motors that what you're about to go thru. don't take any chances with the gasket.... its not worth dieing... » Read More yes this worked on mine.... but you will find out that you have to completely disassemble the furnace to get the old out and new one in..... pay attention when you take it apart. you will prob tear the exhaust gasket to the heat exchanger so order that also. my burner was in bad shape so replaced burner, gasket, and motor.... been working great all thru fall and winter ... much quieter than before. just take your time and snap some pictures. should definitely made far easier to swap motors that what you're about to go thru. don't take any chances with the gasket.... its not worth dieing over a ten dollar part. « Show Less

This thermostat is for hydronic heating systems (hot water radiators heated by a gas or oil furnace). If thats what your in wall gas heater does, then this is the ticket - it only has 2 wires to hook up - right to the ones from your old thermostat I'd guess. If its hot air you've got I'm not sure if this is the one you'd want. You might talk to a local heating guy about it.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

Hi, this has been my experience.... heats my 1200 sq ft, one story home incredibly well, to the point that most days just the pilot light is on. And thus is with the hot water baseboard heat set to 58. We were without power for two days due to Sandy, and never cold once. It is a ventless unit and uses either natural gas or propane. Best purchase ever, very happy. Hope that helps.

I agree with James. I'm not a HVAC guy but I did do a lot of research on my unit, a flame sensor is just a piece of metal. If it looks the same as the one you have in there, same angle in the bend, same connection, it'll probably work. My research also indicated these things rarely go bad so you might try cleaning your before purchasing. Youtube has videos on how to do it.

If you are going to install the heater in your house that has the large propane tank already running a water heater and furnace, and you are going to connect it to the existing LP piping, you don't need another regulator. You will however, want to make sure the existing piping is large enough to "carry" the additional load. If you are going to run the new heater separately, than yes, this regulator will run it. FIY, I'm an LP service tech.

I use it on a fuel oil furnace, hot-water baseboard, and it works fine during the winters here in Maine.

We found it to be good, I have gas heating and we used in our living area and didn't have to turn the gas heat up.Hope this help.

If GCH6A-9E is a gas only Atwood water heater, it may be compatible with your unit. I would advise you to research it to satisfy yourself, there are several sites on the web that can do that. The circuit boards 93865, 93307 and 93257 all are compatible. I hope this helps you.

all this unit does is supply the gas to your furnace. it has nothing to do with your furnace's efficiency.you will need to replace the furnace itself for that.

Yes, provided the control voltage to the thermostat is roughly 24 volts or less. Just make sure your wall furnace doesn't send 120 volts to the thermostat. I've never seen one that does, but I've never seen yours! I'm guessing that this will work fine. I use 6 of these to control hot water baseboard heat (which uses a 24 VAC control voltage) and 1 more for a gas fireplace (that also runs off low voltage). BTW, assuming this is compatible with your system, it is a great thermostat.
