Will this unit work with an AC unit only that has heat coils in the air handler unit? Far South Texas doesn't require much heat.

Not sure...I am not an AC guy...I just connected the wires and turned it on...If if helps, one of our units is a gas pack. Heat and AC in one unit. Works fine..

No. This is the outside unit for the air conditioning system. The heat doesn't need this. But you might need something else for it.

I can only say it definitely will run your air conditioner. Mine works very good with air conditioner, electric water heater, refrigerator and any other electric that I have on. I can only guess the choke may have not been opened. 30 amps is surely enough for a small trailer. Wish I could give more help, as it sure should not overload.

NO unless specifically designed for through the wall installation it is NOT. Air conditioners have exterior vents on the side panels of unit for cooling the condenser coil . If they are blocked in a sleeve or through the wall installation the unit will not work correctly. Through the wall units have NO exterior side vents and all cooling of condenser coil is done through just the rear of vent of the unit.

I have never done it, but I think it could be made to work. The trick will be in which mode do you want to control the temperature -- air or probe. I think the 'air' mode will read the temp at the panel and with a probe you could measure the temp at another location. Also watch the max rating on the controller; it will not handle a large heater. Oh, I just saw the "blower type' in your question; that implies motor (inductive load) and I don't know if the unit can handle anything but resistive loads as in in-floor wire heaters. You had better do more checking.

Yes it does. Air conditioners work by transferring the heat in the air into the refrigerant contained in the unit's coils, thus cooling the air. In order to keep cooling, that heat has to be exhausted to the outside air.

Yes, if you only are using it to control a furnance. However, I am aware that this unit also works with AC, however I have never tested for AC. We are pleased with the unit it is easy to program for heating purposes

Hello Joe, this thermostat is for Heat and Cooling system. it control both heater and air conditioner and I have 4 wires to the unit. I'm not sure it would work with only 2 wire controller.

Yes they do offer some units with that option now, however you would not be able to "add" it to just any unit. The air handler (wall mount unit) is extremely compact so it would have to be designed for backup heat strips and the appropriate wiring would have to be made into the unit for the most part. That being said most of these units do extremely well as a "heat pump" by that I mean there operating efficiency seems to be much lower then standard split system heat pumps but if you live in a climate where it is running below average 40 degree F temps for extended periods them a heat pump without backup is a bad deal.

I use this unit independent of my heat source and works great.It can also be used with forced hot air systems

If you're asking about the remote control (like with your television), yes it does it all. I never have to 'touch' the actual air conditioner unit for anything. All temperature, power on-off, cooling or fan selection, is done with the remote control, just like your tv remote handles all television functions.

This is a heat pump/AC. Therefore, it becomes ineffective for heat using the pump at around 40 deg. I'm not sure, but I don't think it has heat strips. I would have to read the manual. My house is all electric so my central air is a heat pump that has heat strips the kick in at around 40 deg. I live in San Antonio so this unit very satisfactory for my needs. It is in our new sun room.

No, my unit works without any heat problem. I recommend this product very well.

Yes you can control an AC unit. Basically what this unit does is turn your AC on and off based on your temperature setting.

Yes it will work. Most units are standard until u get to the brand new models. Most common mistake people make is thinking its the heating element when its actually a high temp limit switch. For the money try the heating element first. If that doesnt fix it i would look there. Good luck.

This device is designed to work with window unit air conditioners. While it may work with a portable AC it's recommended against in the instructions.
