Most of the ones I see for sale are for use with 24 volts. How can I tell if thats what I need?   jgberkeley Supporter Username: Jgberkeley Post Number: 3461 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 10:23 pm:        1. Use a volt meter and measure the voltage on the one you have. 2. Open the one you have now and look for a voltage sticker. 3. Look around the basement for a small transformer that feeds the Tstat and look for a voltage sticker or stamp. 4. Look in the fire box of your heating unit. If you find a small unit that sticks in the flame of the pilot light, you likely have a millivolt unit. 5. Call me and have me figure it out for you. 973 378-5381.
