If used with floor heating does it require the floor heating wire sensor also be installed?

Hi there! No, you may just cap-off the sensor wire and the thermostat will control the temp.

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed. The Honeywell unit does not come with a sensor and it will be tricky, but possible, to get the correct one from Amazon.com. I just used my old sensor, but had to experiment a bunch to find the needed series resistor to use with it to get it calibrated to the Honeywell unit for the small temperature range we cared about. I had installed the old sensor in a tube under the floor just under the tile and floor mats -- I had easy access from the basement ;-) The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed.

If the white wire you are speaking about is part of the old thermostat, it is not needed for this new style thermostat. The white wire on the old thermostat is what is called and anticipator wire.

No. On the sensor. Will need. A. Pressure. Switch. And. I would need. Your. Model number. On the. Furance

This is just the floor electric unit. You have to buy the thermostat by itself. Our control unit is programmable which is nice during the day we turn it off and have it on in the morning and evening.

If you want to use the automatic setting, you'll need to run wires for the outside temperature sensor. Most of the rest of the wires should be pretty similar though.

Yes. In fact that was recommended by the electrician who installed it. When you need heat, you need heat. And you always want to be sucking the moisture out of the room. Using both together works perfectly fine for me.

Nope. The sensors and switches are all built in.Very easy to install the unit. Pick up some weather calking before installing unit. Takes 10 minutes to install.

Yes the one we purchased did have installation instructions and my husband installed it under tile and it works!Warm floors!

The floor temperature sensor is set in the floor under the tile. I think it only senses the tile temperature (but that is, of course, affected by the temp. in the room). When the heated floor is on, it certainly helps to warm the room but I'm not sure it would be enough to really heat a room without the help of our furnace.

Yes. Extremely easy to install. Only dofference is theres no heated symbol but the heat works fine.

Yes, every single box. I ordered about 10 of this brand so far and floor sensor was included in every box

Yes, it does need to be direct wired, but my electrician had it installed in no time. I love the comfort it provides, it has it's own internal thermostat and turns on and off based on where you set the dial. It's quiet and has been a delight, keeping my kitchen nice and warm. I live in the northeast and it has been a workhorse this winter!

The unit does not include any wiring, except for the sensor. Wiring diagrams are included and you can also find step-by-step instructional videos online at YouTube.

Assuming that you have heat only, the white (ground) wire connects to "W" and the red wire to "R". A call to the company who installed the furnace generally works.

No the sensors are not necessary. I have not connected any of the sensors as of yet because it is in a small area and I have direct sight to my equipment.
