No. Smart thermostats work with most heating systems such as gas or electric forced-air furnaces and ducted heat pumps. Smart thermostats are incompatible with zonal heating systems like baseboards and cadet heaters or ductless heat pumps. If you have questions about your heating system or compatibility, we recommend talking with a trade ally contractor about your options.
