I have toe kick heaters and the thermostat seems to have failed. It is a 2 wire system, will this likely work?

Not sure what you mean by toe kick but this thermostat is for s low voltage heater 24v system. Works with millivolt systems, floor heaters, wall heaters and gravity heaters. There not the best. The quality is very low.

If you're only controlling heater, then use a 2 wire heat only unit like this one:Heat Only Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat

Jeff is correct. Only two wires (conductors) are needed. If you have thermostat wire with more than two conductors, no problem, just use two of them and ignore the rest.

You need 5 wires for this, but have options. First, I'd pull the thermostat and check the cable closely. There may be a 5th wire in the cable (not used on your old thermostat) that's been cut off or pushed back into the wall. If not, you can use the "Venstar Add-A-Wire 5 Wire to 4 Wire Adapter" to avoid having to replace the cable. You can download the manual to check color code and compatibility with your unit.

I have a couple of questions. First - have you talked with your electrician about this? Next, I don't understand your description of the problem. If the breaker trips when the thermostat kicks on, how does it get power to go up to 76? One issue with these thermostats is that they are designed to work on electric baseboard heat (resistive load). If the load is inductive (say a heater with a blower motor) they don't work. Finally, you may simply have a defective unit. Do the other 4 work properly?

If there are 2 leads, it should work. You will need to install a GIF prior to the thermostat.

This is a line voltage (110/220) thermostat. It won't work as replacement for a low voltage system.

If using 2 speed will be ok as that is what we used. If 3 speed wiring and thermostate would need to be changed.

I installed 3 in our vacation home built in 1986 and have a 4th to install next time I am there. It is a 2 wire system and there are only 2 connections on the new thermostat (2 line in and 2 load out) works great.

Yes, this thermostat will work, as long as it controlled by a 2 wire system. I had mine installed before last winter (around Sept '14), it has worked fine all these months.

My old thermostat had to be switched from heat to cool. The Hunter works perfectly in this application (gas furnace plus air conditioner). If you have a complex system such as multi-stage or heat pump, I'd consult with an expert.

Not sure!! Try this #800-468-1502 Or this website http://DIYthermostats.honeywell.comI"m guessing but a 2 wire system would only be for heating OR cooling not both.

I don't think this thermostat will work the Nuheat floor sensor. I recommend trying this thermostat by OJ Electronics Underfloor Heating Programmable Thermostat with GFCI, Includes Floor Sensor, UDG-4999

No. You just have to make sure the connectors to your existing thermostat are compatible with this one. You can look at the one you have now and see if it is not by the online compatibility. I did not. And mine was not compatible.

i think it should work, but remember it does not use household electricty, the heating unit creats electricty. and that is what opens and close the thermostat

i dont think so !this thermostat creats its own currant milovolt through the pilot thermocoupler !. and it only uses 2 wires, it sounds like you need a outside power source for the third wire

Yes, they both handle 4 or 5 wire 24volt heating / cooling systems. Just be careful you use the correct wiring diagram for your system. Some have one transformer and others have 2. Use a small piece of masking tape and mark each wire you remove from the old thermostat. The mounting holes are probably different so you might need new anchors for the new thermostat. I did.
