If it say this heating mat heat over 10-20 degree higher than room temperature, do you still need thermostat?

I don't use a thermostat. These mats don't get hot enough to heat your room or anything like that. I use mine in a sunny, south window. Even when I tent my little plants to keep them warm, the mats don't get too hot. I like these mats. Bought one, tried it and then ordered another. I don't have to depend on the nurseries to get the varieties I want.

I didn't use a thermostat when I grew my tomato plants from seeds. They were fine. Just be sure the seeds don't get dry. Good luck.

I didn't use an additional thermostat. Mat was always toasty (not hot) and seeds sprouted well.

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

If the lamp is getting up to temperature, but the mat is not, I would disconnect the mat and plug it directly to an outlet with the temp controller still on. if the mat still is not getting to temp, then the mat is not working correctly. If the mat does get to temp, i would replace the controller because it needs to be calibrated.

No problem with it showing but I don't believe it's a correct temp. It always shows much higher than the thermostat and what I believe it could be therefore I don't really go by that.

I think the best thing to do is to call the manufacturer and ask them that question, but I don't think you would need to since the heater can be kept at the desired room temperature by clicking the dial clockwise and stopping when you hear a click sound.

Ours gets warm to the touch....we have -20° to -30° temperatures where I live. It melts the snow/ice at least a foot away from the mat.

Without a thermostat the mats continuously heat. You will need a thermostat for each mat. I have two others that are single trays also. I run 1 small and this larger one via a power strip to 1 thermostat and the 3rd mat to another as I have some seeds I grow that require cooler temperatures when growing. The thermostats do have a piece to hang them with which is great. I have all my controls and power strips mounted on a 2x4 in my grow room so they are out of my way!

I use a thermostat to keep the mats at 70. Without the thermostat the temp would probably run about 65-68 degrees. So far the mats have worked great. Hope this helps.

The information for this thermostat states "50 degrees" But I would unplug the cord if the temperatures were going to stay above 40.....just to save on the electric bill!

Absolutely, yes! In fact, that's what I bought mine for. I set the temperature at 93 and I have been sitting on it for two winters now. I do that as a substitute for turning up the thermostat in my home. I keep the furnace set at 65, and my heating pad at 93. Works great.

The tempature can go up to 175. On low end you have some flexibility because you can change solution tempature. When the machine is running the solution tempature will rise without using the heater.

I purchased this unit with the same thermostat that you are asking about. My eletrician installed this for me this past Feb, and he said this particular thermostat is to be installed on the unit itself (and not the wall). That's the configuration we have now, so yes, if you installed this baseboard heater near the floor, you would have to bend down to adjust the temperature. It works well though.

I have only had it up to 130F but it should go higher. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to heat to 130F with surrounding room temperature around 60F.

Your correct... but you may not need to buy a thermostat, although that would no doubt be 'best' solution. I use rockwool cubes and with the tray directly on top of the heating pad it gets much to warm. To adjust for this I simply put the heating pad under a thick towel and that reduced the amount of heat on the tray. After doing the towel thing the temp of my cubes are steady at 74, which seems to be working great. Hope this helps...

This unit doesn't have an accurate thermostat when used in an area with high ceilings, or inadequate insulation. Also depends on the area being heated. An inline electric thermostat would be a little better at controlling the temperature if placed in the right area opposite the heater. My recommendation would be to go at least 100 sq ft larger in Heater size. It seems that you are at max sq ft per BTU rating.

Yes it says so in owners manual. I was worried about that as well. As it comes out though that is very pragmatic. Your home heats a large volume of air. That takes time. I turn down heat at night by 5 to 7 degrees from what is comfortable enough. So that works out to 2 degrees + 2 degrees 20 minutes later. Programmables presume a given temperature at a given time. Here I set it by need. This is not a programmable thermostat. It is an easy to read & set digital however. Neural damage makes me wobbly. This works out in the real world.

No idea, I never owned such thermostat, just noticed that the Infrared Sauna we had, emmits hube amt of EMF, THEN AN OLDER MODEL WITH CERAMIC HEATER DIDNTDEPENDS ON CHEAP MANUFACURER
