I was just wondering if there were any tamper proof thermostats widely
available for residential use? I'm talking about possibly a digital
readout that would require a code so that others cannot alter the
settings. Please post any links or info, Thanks!

Greetings,

I had this same problem and here is how I solved it.

a) purchase 2 $10 digital thermostats
b) install one of the new thermostates INSIDE THE WALL where the
existing thermostat is wired to the heater
c) patch the wall
d) install the other thermostat, a dummy, with dummy wires running to
it in front

Hope this helps,
William
