9. Can I use any thermostat with Neoheat electric underfloor heating?
No. The thermostat must be suitable for use with electric underfloor heating. NEOHEAT provide a thermostat that is fully compatible with electric underfloor heating which, via a floor probe, detects and limits the temperature at floor level. This is essential when using a flooring surface that has a maximum heat threshold.
