    Upgrading to Programmable Thermostat
    I'm having problems upgrading my Thermostat. I replaced a regular thermostat (2 wires), with a NOMA, 7-day Programmable Thermostat from Canadian Tire (52-2544-0)
    It's a high voltage, 120/240V AC, 60Hz, since it's for baseboard heating.

    There is 2 main baseboards hooked directly to this unit, and I've checked that there is power to these '2' wires with a metre. Once it's hooked up, the time shows up along with the 'degrees's symbol, but nothing else! I've checked everything in the fuse box, but assume it wouldn't be anything there, since I do have some power.

    This unit does not take batteries.



    Any suggestions?

    First suggestion is to get rid of the NOMA thermostat. They are junk.

    Next suggestion is to buy a Honeywell model and wire it per the instructions supplied with the thermostat.

    Thanks HVAC1000, but I have the NOMA at the moment and already tried replacing it, just in case it was faulty. It's something other than the thermostat. It has power to the thermostat, it has 2 baseboards hooked to it, so it's not that both died at once. I have no clue. I would have changed brands, if it wasn't a gift from the parents.
