Hello,
I'm hoping you guys could help me with a question. I have a 5 year old townhouse in Seattle and
it has a Hydronic Heating system with a bunch of zones. Each thermostat controls one zone....At least I'm pretty sure it's referred to as a Hydronic system. The sellers always seem to list as "radiant heat" but it's not floor heating, rather there's tubes going thru the walls and a fan blows over the hot tubes to produce the heat.
I'd like to upgrade from the old style rotary control
panels the system came with the system to a programmable thermostat for at
least some of the zones. I was thinking
a model like this one (Luz TX9000TS)

It says it works with two wire hydronic heat systems but not 3
wire. Frankly I'm not sure what the
difference is and I havnt taken apart one of my wall units to look around. I was hoping you guys had seen enough of
these town home hydronic systems to let me know whether a typical thermostat
like the one above should work fine and if there's anything special I need to
look out for.
I don't know what company installed the system it was
already in place when we moved in. But
we've had a few townhouses over the years and they've all had these systems in
place so I'm certain it's extremely common around here.
Thank you in advance,
