Oh Snap moment, t-stat failure

[Vypyrz]

Aw, that really sucks Denial - he was a pretty boy. But Prophet, I'm glad your snakes are okay! I often hear of people using back-up thermostats, so how exactly does that work? Are they plugged into each other, or what??

The t-stat that failed was his central heating/AC for the apt.

To answer you question though. To back up your t-stats...
-Plug UTH into t-stat A
-Plug T-stat A into T-stat B
-Place both probes on UTH
-Set T-stat A to 91deg, set T-stat B to like 96deg.

You can also use a dimmer to back-up your thermostat...
-Plug UTH to dimmer. Set dimmer so UTH maintains about 96deg.
-Plug dimmer into T-stat and set t-stat to 91deg.

Or, you can just buy the Double Ranco's which are already wired to back each other up...
