In order to save some money during the winter months, I studied and found a smart thermostat, such as heating gas baseboard. Our house we bought in September last year, has electric heating throughout and had baseboards in all rooms. We replaced the baesboards large living / dining room with wall heaters with blowers for omløb.Den best way to operate these ovens heat by a switch on the unit just to set the temperature and kicks in and out, if necessary. By the way our house was reinforced earlier, we still have so much heat, the thermostat will be so good, so technically we could just turn heats up and let the thermostat det.Med the new thermostat that I got, which is programmable You can set the time and temeratures (of course) that can help the energy Concerviano. The problem is the heating and kick off constantly to maintain the temperature, rather than drop of 3-5 degrees is before warming again. When I lived in an apartment with these furnaces (both new), did not kick on and off constantly to maintain temperaturen.Det’m trying to establish is how do I keep a programmable thermostat or how, but damn few things to stop kicking and out constantly . Not only the factor anoyance, but it takes more energy to kick on and off and on and off, in addition to heat, if necessary? I assume that there will still save money on our electricity bills with the functionality of the program (temporary work less, and sleep), but football fans in and out is just annoying! My husband wants to get rid of it completely, but I like the function of the program.

I know of no digital thermostat that would give you a 3-5 degree differential, they are generally set up to give you a very narrow control band to keep the room at a near constant temp, 1-2 deg. at most. Second, no it does not cost anymore to cycle the heat like that, electric heat is a resistive load and draws no more on start up. The fan will but on a wall heater the fan is so small that the inrush is negligible. Some digital stats allow you to set the cycle rate which will change the off and on cycle times, you would have to read the manual for your particular stat. I know that the Honeywell digital series of line voltage heating thermostats has this feature. Hope this helps.

Since it was designed to be used with baseboard electric heaters the circuitry in the thermostat probably depends on the constant load of the heating element to be connected.
You might try turning up the thermostat control on the wall heaters all the way up and let the programmable thermostat control the heaters to see if the thermostat will now operate normally.
It may depend on the heater load to be connected at all times to steal a little current to power the programmable thermostat.
