View Full Version : Digital Thermostat for Line Voltage Heating AND Cooling?

Hello folks,

I live in a condo in a relatively old building (~65 years) which uses line voltage thermostat controls (120/240V) for both heating and cooling (the heating and cooling source is a convector - they switch the building from heating to cooling every season).

I'm trying to find a thermostat which looks relatively modern (digital), but no manufacturers I have found produce a digital line voltage thermostat for both heating AND cooling from the same module. Am I missing something or do these simply not exist in an updated version? (There are a few models like the Honeywell Model T651A 3018 which would work, but look like a throwback to 1962) Is it hard to create a digital heating and cooling thermostat for a line voltage system, or is there simply no market for them? If anyone knows of an updated version, even an expensive all-encompassing version, I'd greatly appreciate your advice.

Thanks,

Chris

I have done the research and none are available that I could find.

Hi
Nobody can advied about a line voltage stat
Because
U have to get the voltage,amps,watts between the wires and above all there are 2 sets of stats.one which is compatible with a inductive load and another with resistive load.
There are stats for heating and cooling but u need to get in touch with a contractor to get a suitable one.
U can also use a 24 vac transformer and it will give u a variety in stats
