Thermostat shows energy usage or consumption data that seems clearly wrong

Safety: No electrical work is required unless verifying wiring or adding dedicated circuits.

Steps to correct energy readings:

• 1. Verify configured wattage: In the thermostat settings, ensure the heater wattage matches the actual Stelpro heater rating plate.
• 2. Use dedicated circuit: Ensure the thermostat controls only the intended heaters and not other loads that could skew readings.
• 3. Compare with utility meter: For a rough check, compare thermostat-reported usage with your utility meter over a known period.
• 4. Firmware update: Update the thermostat firmware to the latest version to correct any known metering issues.
• 5. Replace thermostat: If readings remain wildly inaccurate despite correct configuration, the internal current sensor or metering circuit may be defective. Replace the thermostat.

Note: Energy data is an estimate and may not match utility billing exactly, but large discrepancies should be investigated.
