Line Voltage Thermostat Options

I would like to replace the line voltage thermostat that controls the circulator pump on my hot water heating system with a programmable one. I found the Honeywell TL8100 and even called Honeywell for a recommendation and the overly polite Indian gentlemen informed me they were only trained on resistive and not inductive applications. Anyone offer other suitable thermostat recommendations?

Honeywell Prestige is nice but to much money. Venstar remote is cheaper and just as good. But for this guy a regular priced digital will work just fine.

any thermostat I purchased when/if I update the burner/boiler as I remodel the house.

If you change over to the 24 volt system you will be able to use just about any digital thermostat out there or any standard unit for that matter.

Honeywell and White Rodgers don't even come close to the capabilities that the programmable PECO T180 has. The stat can range from 24VAC to 277VAC. This product is rather elusive on the web, but I did find one source at http://thermostatlinevoltage.com
