    Installing thermostat
    I'm trying to replace my old wall thermostat for radiant heat in the ceiling. My old thermostat has a place for three wires red black and white. (load lead and common) All the thermostats that I find are for electric baseboard heat and have only red and black. Do I need a special one or will this type work?
