Would these thermostats be useable in heating my leos tanks?

I'm not an electrician, but I believe these are house thermostats, which would have to be mounted in the room, or at least cage. In other words, the unit itself would need to be heated/cooled to work, whereas most reptile thermostats use probes, so you don't need the thermostat in the enclosure. I think these also get hardwired into the house, but reptile thermostats plug into the wall and the heating elements plug into the thermostat.

What type of heating are you using?
