Programable Thermostat kinda long

Posted by Dave Sherburne NY on January 11, 2012 at 13:03:15 from (50.48.58.18):

I was asked to go and try to find out why the Electric heat in our church wouldn't work. Previous guy seems to have given up. The 10 heaters in the auditorium are controlled by one thermostat which activates four relays. Someone replaced the original line voltage thermostat with a programmable thermostat. After staring at it for an hour, I finally read the instructions that came with the thermostat and it states "not for use with relay controlled heaters". I don't know how long the relays have been turning on and off. I put a DPDT thermostat in and it works fine.
BUT who would want to get to church two hours early to turn up the heat. The question is does anyone know where I can get a programmable thermostat that will work with this system???
PLEASE don't tell me to get rid of the electric heat you would not believe the low price of electricity in this area.
Another question, the wiring in this 35yr old building has been declared UNSAFE buy the same guy who gave up on the thermostat because it is not up to the current code. I certainly hope it doesn't have to be brought up to code because my house was wired in the early 1950's and I have no intention of replacing my pushmatic circuit breaker panel. Please tell me it is not required to upgade to present codes. All the wiring is in metal conduit. I Know in this county, you have to bring everything up to present codes if you gut the place and do major work even to the point of increasing 2X4 studs to 2X6.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
