This thermosotat may be very well suited for Radiators and other convective heating units that offer rapid heating BUT it was NOT designed for and is INEFFECTIVE for use with UNDER-Floor Heating Mats(As Amazon suggests and shows being purchased WTIH . .) Honeywell offers a similar unit TH115-AF-GA/u The operative letter being "F" for floor sensing. Yes, the unit will send power and warm the floor(as will a light/dimmer switch) albeit far less efficiently than the AF models.
So, just becasue OTHERS have bought the unit with a Floor heat system does not mean YOU should. Besides, there is REALLY no point in ordering the EXTRA Floor SENSOR if TH115-A 240 has NO floor sensing capability.

This is a very nice thermostat for baseboard heaters. It is easy to program, much easier than many programmable thermostats. It is quiet and works very well. The display is quite clear and large enough to be easily readable. Very good backlight. I particularly like the fact that it has dedicated buttons for various functions rather than needing to go through extensive menus involving multiple button presses to find a function. Definitely a product I would buy again if I needed a programmable thermostat.

I had a couple of the older Honeywell programmables for a two zone hot water baseboard system and they worked quite well. Since I moved into this new house I found out I couldn't use them on 240v electric baseboard heaters. Luckily, I just recently found these. The first thing I love about them is, unlike the older ones I had, they are a vertical format that perfectly fits the utility boxes. They also look good! They have more features than I really need and the overall cost for 5 units I have 3 now and will be ordering 2 more next month is more than I'd like to pay but being they are electronic and react much faster than the old dial control bimetal coil mercury tilt switch pieces of junk that were originally installed AND are programmable, hence worry free, they should pay for themselves by significantly reducing my heating costs this winter. The simple 4 wire installation was a snap having spent 22 years as an electrical technician helped a lot and it took only 5 minutes to swap in each unit. A quick test proves that they operate well. There is a relay click which will be noticeable late at night but I don't think it will trouble me much. This house is pretty well insulated so I doubt it will happen often enough to become a bother. Another neat feature is an `Early Start' option, available via dip switch that ensures the house will be warm for you by the time you get out of bed. There is also a nonvolatile memory that keeps your program settings safe in case of a power failure (no batteries needed). I'll sum up by saying that the convenience, increased efficiency, and general good looks make these thermostats a worthwhile investment.
Honest reviews on Aube by Honeywell TH115-A-240D Electric Heating 7-Day Programmable
The indicated ambient temperature on this thermostat is 3 to 5 degree's higher than actual ambient temperature. This was compared to two other digital thermometers placed next to thermostat. What happens is when thermostat activates the unit itself starts to warm up from the activation of the relay. This raises the temperature indication on thermostat hence effecting it's accuracy. The thermostat was set for 70 degree's in our living room and the actual temperature was 65 degrees when it shut off. I am returning thermostat and will start to look for something better.

I installed these thermostats in each room to replace the 20 year-old dial-type thermostats. These things are very easy to install and program, and work excellent. I've had them in for about 6 months now, and they do exactly what they say they will do. I would definitely buy these again or recommend them to others.
