Digital Thermostat Click

You are talking to yourself again.

Oh, you finally remembered.

No, but the one who raised the point, who I agreed with, resuling in a flame from you was.

No, but it is a clear example of an installer recommending an expensive "upgrade" with questionable value.

Nope.

You are still missing the point Mr arrogance. Here's some text from your reply:

You are really clueless........

The thermidistat his installer suggested is a thermostat and a humidistat all in one. It's for comfort...........something you don't understand."

Pretty obvious you were not attempting to explain a thermidistat, you were just being an abusive SOB.

This is Turtle.

You have me on this one but i will check it out and see.

Home Depot sells 240V heavy-current digital stats for baseboard heaters now (Here in Canada anyways). I think they're over $100 though. The house I used to rent some years ago had 8 rooms in total, each with it's own thermostat.... Kinda cost prohibitive.

There are several models with mechanical relays. there are several reasons for this. one is to make it compatible with millivolt systems. the other one is to keep the bleed through down which causes some unit circuit boards problem so it isn't a design flaw. it is a plus.
