Are OJ Microline thermostats safe?
Yes. All OJ Microline thermostats include built-in Class A GFCI protection and are c-UL-us approved for safe installation and operation in the USA and Canada.
Can I adjust the temperature remotely?
Yes. Wi-Fi models allow you to control your radiant heating system remotely using a smartphone app, making them ideal as a wifi thermostat for radiant floor heating.
Can I set different temperatures throughout the house?
Yes. By installing multiple thermostats on separate heating zones, you can control temperatures independently in different rooms or areas.
Is the OJ Microline thermostat difficult to install?
No. Installation is straightforward, and advanced models include setup guides and install wizards to help streamline the process.
Do I need a specialized thermostat for radiant floor heating?
Yes. Radiant floor systems require a high-voltage thermostat (120V or 240V). Standard low-voltage HVAC thermostats are not suitable for electric floor heating.
Should you leave an electric floor heating thermostat on all the time?
Electric floor heating systems are designed for continuous operation and are safe to leave on. However, using programmable schedules helps reduce energy use by heating only when needed.
Do I need a floor sensor?
While not strictly required, a floor sensor provides more accurate control by measuring floor temperature directly. This helps protect sensitive flooring and improves overall comfort.
What is the best thermostat for underfloor heating?
A programmable thermostat works well for most homes, while a Wi-Fi-enabled model offers added convenience through remote access and smart home integration.
