    Thermostat Question

    Is it safe to use proportional thermostats like helix or herpstat without dimmer switches?

    Why would you use a thermostat with a dimmer switch? that completely bypasses that purpose of a thermostat.

    So yes it is safe to use a proportional thermostat without a dimmer switches.
