Title: 110 thermostat questions
Post by: Watt2323 on December 17, 2015, 06:54:26 AM: ok I am as sharp as a balloon but should I have as much trouble as i am finding a 110 thermostat? I have looked at menards home depot and lowes with no luck. Anyone have suggestions where to purchase them quick? I am needing it to finish the install

If so, the one in this link will work fine. The only downside is that it has a 3 deg. differential. https://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/electric-heat/thermostats-freeze-alarms/cadet-by-honeywell-22-amp-single-pole-wall-mount-thermostat/p-1444426129990-c-12864.htm?tid=7737635989364346050

Be careful if you buy a digital line voltage t-stat as some of them are for only for use with baseboard heat and they will fluctuate the voltage when the t-stat turns on, so it won't work well with a blower motor.

Post by: AirForcePOL on December 17, 2015, 09:37:38 AM: That one looks like a standard line voltage thermostat. It should do the job fine as long as it is 120V and can handle the amperage of your blower.

Post by: Watt2323 on December 17, 2015, 10:38:56 AM: I talked to a guy I work with who is an electrician and he thinks it should be fine but if my house burns down he said not to call him so that was reassuring ha

Sure can. You can wire up a series of switches to allow the use of all the speeds also.
