What is the advantage of a low voltage thermostat?
Low voltage thermostats can control virtually any kind of system from furnaces, boilers, radiant heat, air conditioning, heat pumps, or baseboard heaters. Some low voltage thermostats can be more difficult to install and have as many as nine wires.
How do you convert a low voltage thermostat to high voltage?
The basic approach is to buy a switching relay that is operated by the low-voltage thermostat and that in turn turns on the 120VAC or 240VAC heaters. You replace the line voltage thermostat with the switching relay, then add low voltage wire from a transformer to power the Nest or other low-voltage thermostat.
What is a high voltage thermostat?
In contrast, high voltage thermostats regulate how long heating systems are left on and there’s a direct connection of electricity between the thermostat and the heater. A heating element inside the heaters is what converts the 120V – 240V of electricity into space heating.
