The thermostat appears to be the dial on the front of the unit. Does the unit shut off entirely when not needed? Or does it run on a lowest setting

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but the dial essentially sets the desired temp. Mine is set pretty low. So it runs for a few minutes, then shuts off. It does not run continuously.

That is a question that recently occured to me also, and i now want to install a switch at the box we mounted at the end of the conduit, the on/off clack noise continues to be VERY ANNOYING

It shuts off but has to be on the last dot past the low marker. I like the click on and off that way I know it is working.

it shuts off completely. I have mine set as low as it goes and keeps things very comfortable. It turns on automatically to keep the temp constant.

Yes, the dial adjusts the temp so you set it and forget it. It turns on and heats the coil then the fan runs blowing the heat out then the coil turns off and the fan cools the coil and then shuts down.

You can use the thermostat on the low setting, but the automatic shutoff and turn on will not work as described in the instruction booklet.

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.

It's a very basic thermostat without scheduling features. There is a single press option to decrease the heat temp setting by 5 degrees as an energy saving mode.

It's on an timer ... It will run ... Cycle on and off until it has finished its cycle ... Then it auto shuts off. You can also turn it off using the dial.

While running on the automatic thermostat feature, does the fan stay running constantly? Will it shut itself off at a time setting? Can you set it shut itself off after four hours of run time?

Yes. It turns on and off using the thermostat setting. I have had two other units over the past few years and this is definitely the best I have owned.

Turn the temp. of the low alarm down to lower than what the actual low temp. will reach, i.e. 32°F. That should shut it off until such time you need a low alarm.

It goes to the current temperature of the room. We always set ours at 80 so that it can run until the room is pretty toasty and then it shuts itself off and turns back on whwn the room gets under 80.

Diane you can set the temp and the time you want the unit to run for by first turning the unit on and then pressing the temp/time button set the desired temp using the up and down selectors on the right of the control panel. Then tap the temp/time button again to set the length of time the unit should run until it turn off. I also tap the power button again so it does not run on high... The low setting does not draw as much electricity and is still efficient enough for my use.

No separate On/Off Switch - I turn the thermostat to the low setting to keep the unit from turning off

You may run it at low, medium, or high continuously or set a time to shut off. Well made unit. The timer is a function of the remote control.

It is easy to set the temp. There is a wheel/dial on the right side and it has different numbered settings on it. I usually set it to 2 or 3 for my son's room and when it reaches "temp" it stops running. Then if the temp drops, it automatically kicks back on. It is very quiet, and efficient. It only runs when it needs to.

This can be set on "hi" or "low", both of which bypass the thermostat and are not auto off. Or you can use the thermostat settings which are auto off based on room temp (though the thermostat temp settings seem inaccurate)

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.

It turns off when you turn it to the lowest setting and on if you turn it to the heat you want
