Nest Thermostat Electric Baseboard Heaters

The heaters are old and ugly so i m ready to replace them.

Nest thermostat electric baseboard heaters.

Electric baseboards are line voltage 120 240 volts. Installing a compatible smart thermostat is quick and easy. When you say baseboard you have to specify if you re using hot water or electric. I understand that the nest only works with low voltage wiring but every baseboard heater i find wants a high voltage thermostat.

I have three 240v baseboard heaters in my home and would like to use three nest thermostats to control them. Those are controlled by low voltage thermostats which use 24 volts. Hot water baseboards are run off a furnace which uses low voltage for tstat control. However you should contact a local nest pro installer and tell them that your apartment is heated with collective or district heating so they can ask you additional questions to determine nest compatibility before they schedule an installation appointment.

Electric baseboard and fan heaters work with line voltage thermostats which can be either 120 or 240 volts. Smart thermostats meet baseboard heaters. There seems to be confusion here. District or collective heating systems that are controlled by an accessible individual electric valve are compatible with nest thermostats.

25 years ago more than 50 of all household energy was consumed entirely by space heating according to the us energy information administration eia that number has since decreased as a result of smarter energy efficient heating solutions including the onset of smart thermostats and home automation.
