How Line Voltage Thermostats Operate with Electric Heaters
Line voltage thermostats switch power on and off to match the room temperature with the user-selected setpoint. The installer wires the electric heater to the thermostat terminals marked R and B. After installation, the user turns the knob to set the desired temperature, for example, 50°F.
The thermostat responds as the temperature changes:
-
Temperature Drops: When the room temperature falls to approximately 50°F, the thermostat closes its internal contacts.
-
Heater Activates: Closed contacts deliver power from R to B, which powers the electric heater.
-
Temperature Rises: When the room reaches about 52°F, the thermostat opens the contacts.
-
Heater Turns Off: The heater shuts down until the temperature falls back to the setpoint.
This control cycle ensures consistent heat output without overheating or wasted energy.
