Default How much power does my thermostat use?

as the boiler. But it has occurred to my parsimonious mind that it's
pretty wasteful having the thermostat running for six months of the
year when it's not doing anything. So I'm inclined to give it its own
FCU so I can turn it off next spring, but does anyone have any idea
how much power these things actually use? The documentation that came
with it doesn't say, and I can't even find the thing on Honeywell's
website.


Strap it to your hot water cylinder so all that energy is not wasted in
the summer.
