I’m looking for some advice about thermostats for electric convector heating. I’ve got a caravan with electric heating. It has two completely separate heaters. One is either 750 watts or 1500 watts so it uses 3.25 or 6.5 amps.
The other heater has three power settings 500 watt, 1kw and 2kw so current ranges from about 2 amp to 9 amp.
I want to fit wo separate wall mounted thermostats to control these heaters. In both cases it would be good to be able to leave them set at 4 or 5 degrees to protect against frost when the caravan is not being used and to be able to set a comfortable temperature when we are using it.
I’d like a nice accurate digital display if possible but what I really want is the experts’ recommendation of decent thermostats fort these loads. I could fit contactors but with such low loads I’d rather have a thermostat that can handle the range of currents involved.
