This might be more the electricity thread, so I'm going to crosspost. This old rear end house we bought has electric baseboard heaters in the basement. The thermostat is old and you can't really read any of the temperature settings. We have a total of 2 baseboard heaters on different walls, and I believe they are on different circuits. What the hell kind of basic thermostat do I need for them? I see different options, but I don't need anything more complicated than off and on.

Motronic posted:Take well lit pictures. I'll see if I can get the thermostat off the wall and take a picture of it, the wiring, and any thermostat ID info. As for the does it matter aspect, if I can spend 20-30$ on a basic thermostat that allows for a bit more temperature adjustment depending on the ambient temp in the basement (which because old house, is often pretty cold right now), that would be nice to have. Eventual plan is to go down to studs and do actual insulation and all that, but gotta save up some cash beforehand. We also have a natural gas fireplace insert that we aren't using until we have it inspected first, but one thing at a time.

I guess I should clarify that the current unreadable thermostat is adjustable but the dial is worn to the point that we can’t read it. I would simply like a new one (maybe digital) for easier use that we could adjust the heat output from these baseboard heaters. Nothing fancy, so yes, like a normal thermostat. I’ll try to get identifying info so I can make sure I am buying a compatible one.
