If your home heats with electric baseboards, most of the popular smart thermostats will not work, because they are built for low-voltage central systems. Mysa is different: it is designed for line-voltage electric heating. HeatLand installs and configures Mysa smart thermostats across Metro Vancouver.
About Mysa smart thermostats
Mysa is a Canadian company whose smart thermostats are built specifically for electric heating. Its best-known product is the Mysa Smart Thermostat for electric baseboard and fan-forced heaters, with a separate model for electric in-floor heating and newer controls for central and mini-split systems. Across the line you get app control, scheduling, geofencing, energy tracking and support for voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit.
Built for electric baseboard heating
This is the part that trips up many homeowners. Baseboards, convectors and fan heaters run on line voltage, typically 120 or 240 volts, while thermostats such as Nest and ecobee are low-voltage controls made for central furnaces and heat pumps. They simply are not designed for baseboard circuits. Mysa fills that gap with a smart thermostat made for line-voltage electric heat, which is exactly what a large share of Metro Vancouver condos and older homes rely on.
Why line-voltage installation needs care
A line-voltage thermostat carries the full household voltage and the electrical load of the heater it controls, so it is not the same simple swap as a 24-volt control. It has to be matched to the voltage and wattage of your baseboards and wired safely. Whether you are upgrading tired baseboard dials or replacing a failed line-voltage control, we make sure it is done correctly.
Whole-home control across many heaters
Electric heating usually means a separate thermostat for each heater or room, rather than one central control. The Mysa app brings those together so you can schedule and adjust the whole home from your phone. We help you decide which rooms to prioritise and set up sensible schedules so you are not paying to heat empty spaces.
Professional setup for real savings
We confirm the voltage and load of your heaters, install and wire each Mysa safely, configure schedules and geofencing, and test that everything responds. Done properly, a Mysa turns basic electric baseboards into a controllable, efficient heating system.
Frequently asked questions
Will a Nest or ecobee work with my electric baseboard heaters?
Usually not. Nest and ecobee are low-voltage controls for central furnaces and heat pumps, while baseboards use line voltage. Mysa is built for line-voltage electric heating, which is why it suits baseboard homes.
Can I control each baseboard heater separately?
Typically each heater or room uses its own line-voltage thermostat, and the Mysa app brings them together for whole-home scheduling and control. We help you plan which rooms to prioritise.
Is installing a line-voltage thermostat safe to do myself?
A line-voltage thermostat carries full household voltage and the load of the heater, so it must be matched to the heater and wired correctly and safely. We confirm the voltage and wattage and install it properly.
