The White-Rodgers 179-1 Thermostat is a trusted line-voltage thermostat designed for hard-wired heating systems. This gray, UL and CSA-approved control fits a variety of electric heating setups and is built to endure demanding environments while delivering precise temperature control on 120/240 VAC power.
Equipped with a reliable SPDT switch, it handles current up to 7.4 A at 120V and 3.7 A at 240V, providing robust switching for electric baseboards, zone heaters, or radiant systems. Its broad 55–95°F operating range, combined with a tight 3°F differential, helps maintain consistent comfort with minimal overshoot. The compact dimensions (2-3/4"W x 2-1/2"D x 6"H) keep installation neat in standard electrical boxes, while the gray finish blends with most interiors.
