I have not been able to get an answer i can understand to my electrical question about line volt. thermostats. The honeywell t451 has proven itself to be a very unreliable stat. So i bought 6 t498 electric heat thermostats and installed them at 6 different houses. They are working well, with no call backs. Before i install more i called honeywell to ask if this was ok to do?The answer they gave me was that the t451 is a "conductive" stat. & the t498 is a "resistive" stat. there for the 498 should not be used on oil hot water system. The lady i spoke to on the Honeywell tech. support line could explain further. Before i purchase any more and get myself in trouble what do you think.
Thank You in advance,
From Tom jr
