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



A TS -inside- a wall gets no air circulation around it,and will not
work effectively or properly.

Unless the wall is an external wall the only effect might be less
frequent cycling. Heat passes quickly and easily through 1/2"
drywall.

Right....

Yeah,that's why thermostats have vent slots to allow room air to pass into
the casing.

"quickly and easily";wrong,completely wrong.
