Nest thermostat and electric radiant underfloor heating

I have Nests controlling the main heating system in my house. Wondering if I can swap out my HoneyWell thermostat that controls the bathroom electric radiant heat as well?

Hi nckaps,

Thanks for reaching out. If you have a zoning system, installing another Nest Thermostat to control your heating system will also be compatible.

You can check this guide for additional information.

I am specifically wondering if the NEST can be used with a 20amp underfloor heat source? I had read that they can noot handle that high amperage.

Hi nckaps,

Thanks for the follow-up information.

Your electric heating is a high voltage system. It might not be compatible, But in some cases, it is possible to make a high voltage system Nest-compatible. Please contact a local pro and have them install a step down transformer to 20 - 30 V.

Regards,

Jenelyn
