Can I install a thermostat for floor heater myself?
While LuxHeat floor heating is easy to install and can be undertaken by any DIY homeowner, all wiring and electrical work when connecting the thermostat for floor heater must be completed by a qualified and certified electrician.
Do you need a specialized thermostat for radiant floor heating?
Yes, a thermostat for radiant floor heating needs to be a “high voltage thermostat” capable of handling 120 or 240 volts. Conventional forced air systems use “low voltage thermostats” which are typically only capable of handling between 12 and 24 volts. All OJ Microline thermostats are compatible with radiant floor heating and are dual-voltage, meaning they can be used to control a 120V System or a 240V System.
Should you leave an electric floor heating thermostat on all the time?
As far as safety goes, LuxHeat floor heating is designed to operate continuously and it is perfectly safe to leave your electric floor heating thermostat on heat all the time. However, continually running your system may result in higher energy costs. When using a programmable thermostat, you can set the heating system to come on just when you need it to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
Does the electric floor heat thermostat have a built in GFCI?
Yes, every OJ Microline electric floor heat thermostat has a built in Class A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) ensuring safe operation.
Do I need the floor sensor for the electric heated floor thermostat?
While an electric heated floor thermostat can work without a floor sensor - using just the ambient air sensor - installing the floor sensor will allow you to accurately measure the temperature of your floor. This will afford superior control and comfort as well as enabling you to set floor temperature limits for more sensitive floor coverings.
