Is this a GFCI thermostat?

Yes it is. The instructions show how to test it and it says GFCI on the screen when it is first powered up.

No this is not a GFCI thermostat - However, this one is - Honeywell Radiant Heating 120/240V Programmable Thermostat with Floor Sensor and GFCI (TH115-AF-GA) cost on Amazon was $120. Good luck

I no longer have the "User's Guide," but the box does not indicate GFCI.However, I have been running this for quite some time now, flawlessly (no circuit braker activity), and the exterior plastic appears to be a good insulator.

No, I would think that for most in-the-floor heaters and especially for bathroom usage, one must power this thermostat and the heater with a GFCI circuit. I know I had to rewire my system to add (convert) another GFCI circuit for my new in-the-floor heater.Rob2's answer makes me wonder if this thermostat has more capability than I remember -- will try to find the manual and check later.Checked the manual, and it says nothing about GFCI. Either use a GFCI circuit breaker (expensive) or an 'upstream' GFCI receptacle.

No. You can add a GFCI outlet in front of the circuit to provide protection to the thermostat. Read the GFCI outlet wiring instructions carefully and when done test it to make sure the power to the thermostat is off.

No gfci. I installed without. If your concerned you can put in a gfci circuit breaker. But this is a great thermostat.

No it doesn't. The only reason I know that is because I had to have the electrician that installed it also install a GFI plug.

A slight variation in voltage under load may trigger the gfi thus shutting off your heater

Not at all specific. There are two knobs but no thermostat. It's basically on/off and fan speed hi/lo

Yes it is. It has to be calibrated (instruction s includede) and will operate 2 AC and 2 furnace s. If you have 5 button unit already you can use this. If you have more or less buttons you don't want this. If your looking at new install you don't want it either.

This thermostat is for the in-floor heating wires. It is not designed to control the heating system of your house.

It's a relay, designed to use the low voltage signal from a typical thermostat to switch a 240 volt circuit e.g. a 240v baseboard heater. The unit is designed to provide the 24v power to the thermostat as a step-down from the incoming 240v main, so no need to separately power the "smart" thermostat. I've installed it for exactly that use-case, and it's working fine. Unless you REALLY know what you are doing on the high voltage side, I wouldn't recommend this as a DIY project, but the product itself works fine for it's intended purpose.

yes it is, I installed this in my home, my heating system is both heat and ac

Do you mean GCFI? Yes, it does. The plug contains a GCFI circuit. It also must be plugged into a GFCI outlet, that's the kind with the buttons on them that are standard in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor outlets now.

I experienced a power surge in my home which fried this thermostat so I just ordered the same model number thinking I could just plug it in and replace it. Come to find out it is a contractor thermostat and there is programming of some sort that has to be done so I ended up calling an HVAC person to get it working. Good luck.

Yes and yes. However, this device does not operate as a GFCI and does not take the place of a GFCI receptacle. You have to ask yourself: if there's a GFCI there now, why? You probably want to replace a GFCI with a GFCI. There must be some reason it's there. Do you understand what a GFCI is and how it works?

For me there was one already installed to control a fan. The existing one went bad and locked into full power so I replaced it. There was three wires from my fireplace. One is power that is looped with a thermostat and the other is a neutral. Should be simple swap out, resolder the wires and it's ready to go.

Sorry for the delay. I don't know anything about this. My husband is out of town on business and this is his thermostat. He'll be back this weekend and will check into your question.

No. Tests for presence of electricity and proper wiring of outlet. Also tests for proper operation of GFCI.

I used it to replace a small window AC. The original GFCI was stuck in the reset and wouldn't power the unit. Make sure the plug matches the AC requirements.

The 50542 does not have a GFCI tester. The 50957 does. Otherwise they seem to have similar functionality.
