What type of "thermostat" does this unit have? Low, medium and high, or will it actually turn the unit off and on?

Once the unit is lit, the pilot is the default setting. You can manually turn it on and off or you can use one of the four heat settings. I'm not sure what temperature each setting represents but I've never gone past two. The unit turns itself on and off from the pilot setting based on the ambient temperature.

"Temperature sensing mechanical thermostat" This holds the temp within a few degrees of where you set it. If the heater is "on" the pilot lite is always running. When the heater is turned off all gas flow is shut off. Restart of the heater requires override of the safety shutoff to get the pilot light lit and up to temp. (Just like a gas water heater)

unit goes from 1-5 5 being the highest setting ,unit will shut off at lower settings and turn back on

The black dial on the upper right side can be rotated between 1-5 which varies the temperature. The pilot light always remains lit with one of the number selections and the unit turns itself on and off to remain at your selected heat number/temperature. I also purchased the optional fan blower which is great in my garage for dispersing the heat out as opposed to just up and turns itself on and off as well.

There is no thermostat. It has a dial to set the amount of heat it puts out, but once it's on it's always on.

Variable heat control will be low, medium, high. Controlled by a knob. Thermostat will be just like a thermostat for your oven or heater. set it for 70 and it shuts off when then thermostat reaches 70 and comes back on automatically

Yes, there is a control, but it is for low, high, and off, not really a thermostat. This is a great unit and I doubt you will find a better one.

The thermostat turns the unit off when the temperature drops below 70F. You would need to decide whether you want the fan to operate in temperatures below 70F (example: sunny day with temperatures in the 50s or 60s)

Well the thermostat does turn the unit on or off depending on the ambient temp.

it has a thermostat temperature setting and a low medium high setting if that answers your question

Jennifer, Yes it has a thermostat built in and it will turn off once the desired room temp is reached. The thermostat is in the knob tho, there's no temperature number setting like on your home central heat or AC. It's one of those deals where you have to guesstimate by using the knob. It's not hard to figure out once you use it a few times. One other thing to note is that there's a "burn off" smell that takes a few days of use to go away. The smell set off our smoke detectors and I was pretty worried. I called the company about it and they said that the new coating on it would eventually burn off and it did, but be prepared to endure smoke detector alerts if they're positioned near the heater. Our heater was hooked up by our gas company. If you're going to use natural gas, and your existing gas line, I highly recommend you contact your gas company vs. a private contractor.....for safety reasons and ability to hold someone responsible if there's a gas leak problem down the road. Good luck; I really like this heater.

That is normal. The thermostat turns it off when it reaches temp. There is also a high temp switch for saftey.

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.

There is a switch on the side that has low, med, and high settings. As far as being able to hook up a thermostat that is a little out of my area of expertise, but I assume with the proper knowledge you should be able to. I assume mine is wired that way right now. Thermostat calls for heat, boiler comes on, once the boiler reaches a set temp the pump comes on. Once the boiler reaches a high set temp the boiler shuts down but the pump continues until a low set temp is reached. Guesses only.

there is a thermostat that goes low, medium, high. What I did was buy a a good quality thermometer, drill a hole in the lid and tighten the thermometer down which works pretty well, however keep in mind you may want to put it in the side a bit lower so you know what the temperature is in the lower rack rather than the top rack closer to the lid

Yes it turns it on low medium high and off... But remember it works only on incandescent bulbs and not fluroscent or led

it has a humidistat and a thermostat, as well as a high and low setting, which is automatic.I would suggest that you keep it turned on all summer, and possibly turn it off in the winter!

It does not have a thermostat. Some people buy a thermostat plug in thing. It just gets warm and has an on/off switch. I'm not sure how well it works yet as ours has a smell. The company is going to replace our unit.

It has the three basic settings of low, medium, and high. To really get some heat you will be better off leaving it on high.

There is only one speed for the fan and the unit only has a thermostat for the heat. There is no Hi, Med., Low. However I feel that it is calibrated at medium to medium/high on both fan speed and heat output.

Yes. It has a thermostat. But not a thermometer. It shuts off and starts on depending upon ( 1 ) warmth ( 2 ) time. We can set it low, medium, high. The one we bought in 2013 September did not run continuously.
