Does anyone know if the remote shows the temprerature and if it has a built-in thermostat like Frigidares? Thanks...

No display or temperature sensor on the remote. I have a "dumb" frigidaire remote and the signals for fan/cool up/down etc are the same - this aspect of the remotes is interchangeable.

Yes, it does have a remote. It shows the temperature and has other functions. As I reviewed, the unit seems well built but it produces sounds like a 10 or 12 thousand Btu unit. There are many different rattles and till today I'm still playing with it to get rid if the noise. Best of luck to you.

yes mine came with the remote controller. It has a wire about 6 feet long that allows you to mount the temp controller adjacent to the unit.

Hi Eric, so far my remote is keeping itself together. My disappointment with the remote, and the heater itself, is that it doesn't remember how I had it set up. If I am in bed and wish to use the remote, I have to get out of bed to go to the machine and set it up again. I can't read the display from my bed! I am not enjoying this single button control on the heater--I am clicking and advancing and clicking for a long time before it is where I want it. I've never been able to do the correct clicking to engage the timer

The blinking "cool to" is the temperature the thermostat will cool your home to..ex.. If it is 78 degrees in your home and you set your thermostat to cool to 70, your unit will run until you are within 2 degrees of the cool to temp..also if it is blinking you can change the temperature either up or down as well.. Hope that makes sense!:)

No. The remote does not have any temp display or any display at all. it only has up and down temp buttons.

No they don't. But this is my second one and the thermostat begins to fail after 3-6 months. Initially you jiggle it, later you put a cloth under it so it makes a connection. Eventually it fails. Otherwise it's excellent. They really need to upgrade the thermostat.

No, the remote does not indicate the actual temperature at the base unit, nor what the temperature setting is on the base unit, on the remote that I have. It only allows you to increase/decrease the setting. But it is very reliable and easy to learn what your setting is if you program it. We listen for the click of the relay at the base unit to know if the AC or furnace is going to come on.

It comes with a built-in thermostat or temperature adjustment on the actual fireplace and the remote that companies it.... I'm sure if you rigged it, it'll be capable of working with your home thermostat, but for me, it seems to work just perfectly the way it comes... I hope this info is helpful to you and if you get it I hope you enjoy yours just as much as I'm enjoying mine

This unit comes with a remote control which has a thermostat built into it, providing you continuous temperature readings. Hope that answers your question.

The remote looks different. I bought my unit 2 years ago. If you live in colder weather you probably want a unit that has a defroster. These units without a defroster freeze up at around 34 degrees when you run the heater/heat pump.

Yes, it displays the current room temp, the time of day and the temp that the thermostat is programmed for that time period. The display alternates (blinks) between time of day and current room temp, with the setting temp remaining constant on display on far right of display screen. Hope this helps

In so far as I can tell, there isn't any kind of a thermostat to regulate the temperature. I would guess that it's self regulating according to the room where it's located. There is a switch that you set to use as a refridgerator or as a food warmer and the other switch is for either A/C or D/C indicating a house current (A/C) or an automobile's current (D/C). There are cables for both and that's the limit of choices we have. I hope this helps. I am not an engineer---neither electronic nor choo choo. So far, this unit has performed quite well, and if it keeps up I will certainly recommend it to others.

Yes, it does have a remote. I bought this for my parents and they love this unit. No problems and it keeps the back third of their large house pretty warm. They love it.

High Tech Man, if I can find the manual I will check to see if it provides degree ratings but my recollection is that it does not. Neither the remote control nor the unit itself provides degree indicators, just lights signifying low, medium, high. While I have no way of knowing the temperature setting, I can tell you that the lowest setting is pretty low. Sorry I couldn't be of more use.

No timer and no remote. Also the "thermostat" does not register temperature. It only has analog from low to higher setting.

In CA right now it is 50º 7:30pm and our remote is located in the detached garage by the water heater. It has not had a problem so far. Don't know about the -zero temp. areas.
