Is there a preferred Thermostat or switch type or Brand that is recommended for use with this unit?

I don't think so. I purchase a Ventamatic XXfirestat 10 Amp and it does the job.

There is a Thermostat on the Fantech website recommended - FAT10,T-Stat Attic Mod #1A22-7 it has a range between 80 degrees and 130. looks like it is designed for attic use. They also provide this recommendation for speed - 5ACC03SC Speed Control, 3 amps (about $35)

Not sure about preferred type, but I used a rotary dimmer switch to control the speed and has worked great throughout the summer in the greenhouse.........

No, but why spend the money on a "connected" thermostat if you're not going to connect it? Just buy a cheaper programmable one.

I paid a HVAC guy to install it with a Honeywell thermostat that works this also, he wouldn't warranty it but I saved a lot of money and money well spent for the install. If your handy I know others have said it's fairly easy but I wanted the thermostat too which is really nice. Money well spent in my book. Enjoy!

No. I am sure there are better choices. In fact I just removed and recycled this switch. It became very unresponsive to the remote and I can no longer recommend this product.

Neither. It is digital, so its super accurate, if you set it for 70 then you get 70. Sweet! It is an inline thermostat, so it will handle 1750 watts @ 120V, and it is compatible with baseboards, convectors, and fan-forced heaters. I am so glad to get rid of my old bi-metal thermostat. By the way this Honeywell digital in-line is quiet too, you don't hear any noise at all when it switches on.

I bought a separate plug-in thermostat to use with it. After I set the thermostat I put the heater on the highest setting and then plugged it into the thermostat.

I really don't know. These have a circuit board in them. Maybe an older style mercury style switching thermostat would be better

We have the Honeywell wifi smart thermostat. Our HVAC contractor installed it and recommended the the additional device to even out temps due to a drafty room

I am no expert, but I think that basically you have a heat pump (w/ Aux & Em) like I do, so this thermostat should work as expected; actually, for me, it is a great unit, better than a more expensive model I had before!

The thermostat will keep the temp. In a safe range. Leaving the unit running to long could cause over heating.

I did it myself, with basic knowledge of wiring. You might have to do a bit of research depending on your units wiring, but it really isn't any harder than any other thermostat.

Hi there. My iphone app has dropdown for which thermostat. I only have one, but that would suggest the app controls as many as you want.

as long as the temp slide and switches are in the same places and have the exact same functions then yes they are both analog thermostats and should mate with the board up in the unit. be sure to turn off the breaker going to the unit in question before you touch th old thermostso you don't short and blow the upper control board while changing out the thermostat and wires accidentally touch. good luck.

It has a built in thermostat. I added a line voltage wall mount thermostat on the opposite wall with a single pole switch in a box. It's easier to turn on and the temp is for the whole room, not just next to the unit

NO Wired thermostats available for this unit. Yes, there is an AUTO mode which will switch over between Heat and Cool modes as needed.

Yes, the unit has an on/off switch. It does not have thermostatic control. Nice air flow

Yes you will need a thermostat. I used the one that was on the old unit and its working just fine.
