Does the heat only thermostat have an on/off switch? Do you know if this would work on a gas ceiling mounted garage heater?

The thermostat does not have an on/off switch.I don't know if it will work on a gas ceiling mounted garage heater.

It does not have an on off switch - I believe it can be set as low as 40 degrees, but I assume your garage may typically be colder than that when you're not in there and don't want it running. I don't see why it would not work with a gas ceiling mounted garage heater - but check the owner's manual online. Don't bother calling Honeywell about this thermostat unless you're a professional, though. They won't give you the time of day.

There is no "off" setting. The lowest temperature setting is 40. It will turn off when the power to the furnace is turned off.

This thermostat opens and closes a 24Volt AC circuit. Are you using a 24Volt ACRelay to activate the Heating Unit. Is the Relay a mechanical unit or a sealed unit? If your Relay is a mechanical, then the contacts on the switch portion of the Relay will spark. If this is the case, the Relay had better be located outside the garage to avoid igniting the gasoline and/or propane and/or natural gas fumes.G.

Yes it has a thermostat the mounting hardware is a chain to mount it from the ceiling, I went to lowes and bought some angled brackets and mounted it from a wall

Yes, The unit comes on and off with a built in thermostat. The pilot does stay on though. I use it to heat a small greenhouseand it was very effective.

This thermostat should work for heat only, cool only, or both. You can find the installation manual at this link: https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-1920EFS.pdf

yes it does. It gives off a soft heat, not like most heaters that blasts heat and dispences to the ceiling. Works best when it really cold. Not when its mildly cold.

I have a heat only system too with window A/C units. It works fine controlling just the heat. Great thermostat have had no problems.

No, it does not have a dedicated off position, but if it's in your garage a setting of -23 is pretty much off. I just unplug mine if I'm around to monitor my heater.

It depends on how you wire it. I have mine attached to a wall mounted on off switch. If it is hard wired without a intervening switch it will restart automatically and will suto shut off based on the thermostat. Because it needs to be mountef 6 plus feet from the floor I mounted mine off the ceiling. I did not want to use ladder to adjust thermostat so I put in on off switch.

Yes u can wire it with a switch, but i had it wired into the box. The thermo on the heater is adjustable and can be shut off easily. In my opinion having 2 switches would be stupid. No idea on length of time but i can say it will heat an 800 square foot room from freezing temps to about 65 in a day. If u are planning on it being quick, either turn it on the night before, or have a smaller area. It is effecient and quiet, but does not put out as much heat as a salamander.

yes and it hardly shuts off, even if the temp is set and room temp does get to its number fan keeps going. Also when the one of the heating infra-red bulbs burn out u can't replace them without destroying unit. The fan is somewhat quiet but still hardly ever shuts off. Trust me, I have ceiling heat in a 1960 house and with electric prices through the roof I have tried several style heaters, amazing enough the BEST HEATERS ARE THE UGLY OIL FILLED RADIATOR HEATERS. Hope this helps!!

Brian, when you are installing a thermostat for an electric unit garage heater you want to put it on the other side of the workshop, basement or garage..Please note you must you a Line Voltage Thermostat with the electric heater.. A low voltage thermostat will not work

Tarik, There is no switch on the heater, only a long extension cord. I installed a switched outlet to plug it into. That is the only way to avoid using the plug alone as an on/off switch. It is a very good unit,, it mounts very close to combustible materials and looks good. You may need 2 units if you are trying to heat a larger area. Hope that helps. I guess we should also thank Amazon for knowing I bought one and sending me a note to lend you a hand. Good luck!

It only has two switches. One is a hi lo switch. The other is a gradient switch to set the temperature. To turn the unit off, it must be unplugged. Don't let that be your deciding factor however. The two we have on our second floor are amazing and have completely replaced the heat pump.

Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works. It heats my 440 sq foot 2 car garage with ease it has insulation in the ceiling. However it requires a 240v 30 amp outlet. Should be ok with no insulation too. It will surprise you - should maintain 65-70 degrees on high with no insulation in temps to around 20. I usually keep it on half thermostat to take the chill off unless I'm working on a project, then I turn it way up and heats the 440 sq ft garage to 70-75 in about 10 minutes from 50. Will work just fine for your small room. Keep the thermostat on auto and desired temp if using constantly as this should help with your electric bill. Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works.

It does not come with thermostat or on off switch. This needs to be connected to power supply by electrician and thermostat added as well.

Hi - the heater has it's own thermostat that measures the room temperature and cycles the heater on/off, it is adjustable. if you set the heater T-stat at a high setting (ie. 90 deg.) the heater will turn on when power is sent to it. I us the heater in my un-insulated two bay garage (28' x 24' x 11' ceiling) and it heats it up to a comfortable working temperature quickly ( 20 - 30 min.) depending how cold it is to start. regards - WH

Yes, it does have a thermostat on there that will kick it on and off depending on what you have it set at, (but it does have a pilot flame that stays on), we have ours in a room approximately 15x15 foot and rarely have to turn it past 2 to 2-1/2! It's also cool to the touch, has a glass and metal screen on the front of it. I have dogs in the house and use to have the old 'brick' heaters, those were very dangerous around the dogs, with this one, I don't have to worry, the flame is no where near the dogs, thanks to the glass and the screen. It has 2 hook ups on there, one for natural gas, the other for LP, (liquid propane), with the liquid propane it does take a certain pressure to operate it correctly, (we replaced our old unit with this one, so we didn't need to worry about the pressure from the propane tank). The one thing we have found that is kind of bothersome is that fact that the 'click and start' button has to be pushed down pretty far before you can try and start this heater, we used a small kind of round stick that we can hold the button down with to kick it on. Also the unit will 'politely' tell you when it needs cleaned, which isn't hard to do, the way it tells you is that the heater will shut it's self down while in the middle of trying to heat the room, it takes us, less then 10 minutes to take the front off and clean it out. After having this heater for over 2 years now, we have not had any problems with the heater itself, just the things that I already told you about the start button and when it needs cleaned. I hope I've answered your question about this unit, if not feel free to ask more! Thanks! (The heater does not have any kind of flame adjustment at all on it).
