Is there anyway to remotely link individual wall thermostats?


I have just moved and every room has its own individual thermostat and electric heater. Is there anyway to link these remotely so that I can control them all from one location?

Don't want to rewire the entire house.

Many Thanks.

I used to live in a duplex that had the same thing.
The heaters were in the ceiling and would radiate heat down.
I am not sure about yours, but I believe mine were line voltage thermostats. Meaning they would actually control the voltage that served the heaters, as opposed to low voltage controls.
If this is the case, you could put one at (or close to) the power source (electrical panel).
You could also put a time clock (or switch) in the circuit so the heaters would only opperate during certain hours.
You would need an electrician to do any of this.
Email me if you have any other questions

if you have 8 rooms with 8 heaters/t-stats you would have to have 8 timers.

you will save energy leaving them as they are. Only turning up the ones in the room that you are in. Electric baseboard heating is fairly efficient if used this way.

Anyway, why would you want to heat a room that you are not in.

I have an all electric home, 1500 sq ft up and 1500 sq ft down, my total electric bill is only avout $ 200 a month.

Not without hiring an electrician you need relays to connect them
