Does this unit work only as an exhaust ? Does it have a switch to change to blower ? I am wanting to build a solar space heater

No only exhaust. I use it in a sunroom wall to take the heat out duing the summer months here in FL. I have also seen it installed on hatches of sail boats.

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

Yes there is a fan blower and it has 2 settings and will warm up a small room but I never use because apt is always too hot already

not sure, it is easily bypassed to run all the time the sun is out, it is a standard bi-metallic switch available at any heating supplier, in a variety of temps. my unit functions well and have had no problems.

It does not have a blower-fan WITH the unit. To my best knowledge (take it with a grain of salt) Blower/Thermostat Item # 173957 Works With Heaters 173951, 173950, 177201, and 177202 ProCom Automatic/Manual Thermostat Blower - For Heaters Over 10,000 BTU It's around $40 I think.

If it works with your blower, it will work with a thermal switch. I use this switch on my two Lennox gas fireplaces and wired a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026RYU4W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thermostat inline underneath. The switch is on the wall and the thermostat is attached to the sheet metal underneath the firebox.

You would not be able to switch from intake to exhaust as the switch would be in the pvc pipe or close the vent. Unless you had a slip fit and could lift it off to reach the switch. As far as fitting it to a pvc pipe I believe it would IF you have a slip fit to the inside of the pipe. I don't think you could mount it with the pipe inside the vent tube.

This generator must be outdoors. There is no way you can direct the exhaust outside and it is a very nasty smell of propane and co2. It will function well with a solar system if you know when to turn it on. Sunny Island (sma) will only allow the power from this to charge at nite. Outbacks might not have this problem. I'm off grid. With such a big place you must have lots of batteries to charge on cloudy , rainy days. But I gather you have AC from the utility and are feeding back excess power. If you do you may want to look at a different model which may cost less.

Joann there is no blower on this unit. I have it in use in a smaller mobile home amd the heat tranfsfers good without one. If you want more consistant heat flow to differant areas a blower would probibly be a good move.Bob

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!

I would say it is a residential designed unit. We have had great success with the unit over many years. The blower did burn out, so had to replace. We are careful not to leave the unit outside over a period of days due to potential sunlight deterioration of fabric.

Not really... its more a space heater than one of those event heaters ya stand under out side. This thing kicks off way more heat than those out door stand up types BUT it is very loud and you would not be able to have a conversation with anyone close by it. I keep mine in the garage and turn it on for two or three minutes than turn it off. It runs for about three or four minutes AFTER ya turn it off and it is just as loud then too.

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

No, there is only one direction. There is a simple on/off switch, no way to convert it to a blower.

No, no switch. The idea being that when the sun sets, you no longer need to cool off your attic. I highly recommend this fan, it has made a tremendous difference in the house.

well it looks like they answered your question. my opinion is i would think if built a large enough enclosureand then made a exhaust large enough that was mounted to the enclosure so that it wasn't connected to the generator with no bends just straight and over sized. it would work but that is just me.

No, It is designed to be hard wired. You could add a pigtail (wire) with a plug and plug into a regular outlet. If you just want a space heater there are many other options. Read wiring instructions as it is both 240v and 110v and needs a jumper installed in the correct place. Good luck.
