Re: Can a Remote Control Thermostat replace My Existing Thermostat?

["Josepi" <J.R.M.@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

240 volt thermostats are very common, and quite likely,  in commercial and
industrial heating systems. They are very commonly available in every Home
Dpot, Home Hardware or other building supply house and now available as
graduated triac controls..

Check your voltages!

a wall thermostat using line voltage? There certainly are some,
but most of the ones I've run into run at (nominal) 24V and
have a relay somewhere.

(Might be a NY issue - whenever you run 120V you pretty much
always have to put it in tubing or "Greenfield", which tilts
the equation towards using lower voltages).
