PDXnative- I was told you can't have programmable thermostats for the baseboard heaters, seems like that was incorrect. What brand are your heaters? I would much prefer to have the programmable thermostats!
If you have a wall thermostat for your baseboards, you can get a digital programable one at Home depot and probably Lowes. Make sure you have turned off the power, as baseboards use 220 volt. The installation was really easy. Disconnect the old one, reconnect the new one, and mount it to the wall. And then set the programming. If you want a brand and model I will look at that this evening when I get home and post it. When you are looking for one, just make sure it is for 220 volt systems.
