Automatic temperature control in living and working premises is a modern and effective means of saving energy resources and saving money on heating. The use of heaters and thermostats for them is especially important for owners of private houses in the winter, because maintaining a certain temperature in the room is constantly more profitable than warming up the room when it is below zero. We talk about the best models of thermostats for heaters, as well as how to choose them.

Top 6 best thermostats for heaters in 2022 according to KP
1. Terneo RZ
The electronic thermostat is designed to maintain the set temperature in the room using electric convectors, infrared panels or air conditioners. The plug of the device is connected to a standard socket with grounding, designed for a current of at least 16 A. External temperature sensor, current and set temperature is shown on a digital display. There is a built-in button lock and protection against too frequent switching of the power relay. The installation site must be protected from splashing water and moisture. The settings are retained even when the mains voltage is switched off.

3. BixtonHeat V1 WiFi
The temperature controller with LCD display is designed for optimal control of underfloor heating elements in order to increase efficiency and save energy. The set settings are saved in the event of a power failure and restored after power on.
Six cycles of programmed temperature control can be set. The control is carried out by two sensors, one is built into the body of the device, the other is external with a cable length of up to 6 meters. The device copes with the control of any electric heating system. It can be a heating cable, heating mat, infrared film.

4. Almac IMA-1.0
The device is able to control the heating and cooling of rooms. Fans, air conditioners, any heating devices, including infrared heaters, can be connected to it. You can connect a remote sensor and use it to control underfloor heating. In addition to setting the temperature, it is possible to adjust the hysteresis (the difference between the switch-on point and the switch-off point) and the time delay for turning on the heater, which eliminates accidental operation, for example, from a suddenly opened door. There is an alarm about the failure of the temperature sensor.
