Does the actual thermostat need to be removed to install this or does it simply get screwed into the wall around the existing thermostat?

No. My thermostat was the right size for the lock box. I have the Honeywell 3-4 inch round manual thermostat. I hope this was helpful.

It is screwed into the wall around the existing thermostat. Very sturdy plastic. Great quality for the price.

It is simply tapped on with a block and hammer for install. To take it off I'd recommend some penetrating oil to loosen it, and tapping it downwards with a block and hammer.

I got the one with the thermostat built in to it. If you want the thermostat remote, follow the recommended installation instructions. they make it simple to understand.

Mine had a thermostat on it. I never considered removing it. This unit should be installed in an area that has good ventilation. I have since removed this unit and replaced it with a direct vent heater.

The way we have it installed there is a separate wired control knob that we installed that can be placed anywhere you want it. We also installed a thermostat that will cut the fan on at the desired temperature. We love the fan and we are able to move our air conditioned exterior wall room to an interior only wall room without any ductwork. It works great!

Yes, it comes with it. It is included in the box and is a wire that connects in the back of the unit which you can secure to the wall behind wherever you install it.

No, you need to buy the matching thermostat which fastens on the end of the heater.

The thermostat is in the untit that plugs into the wall. The unit plugs into the wall, (we plugged it into a heavy duty extention cord) and whatever you are controlling, plugs into it. We set it so our swamp cooler turns off when the temperature reaches 72 degrees, and it works great. Hope this answers your question!

You install it directly below the original radio. The radio is on the same face plate as the ac/heat controls so you cannot remove it. Basically the entire middle section of the dashboard is one piece.

EZ to do yourself if you've got another body to help position it for installation. in a window it is straight forward, if you need to cut a hole in the wall that is another matter. Any handyman should be able to help with the install if you don't want to do it... nice unit.

Thermostat is at the opposite end of the wall plug. You plug the heater into the wall plug end and can move the thermostat the length of the cord.It should work for you if you have enough cord length to place the thermostat where you want it.I am very pleased with my unit.JH

It does have to go through the wall, because it is ductless.Yes, it is both heat and a/c, it is working well for me, the display flashes for a while until it heats up, then kicks on.You'll need someone to install it though, and then do what they call" purge and charge" and put about 2 lbs of coolant. That's not cheap, because the HVAC guy has to spend 1.1/2 h. there.I hope that helps, obviously I'm not an expert...

Just put some teflon tape on the threaded end from the wall and screw it on. Very simple installation.

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

It is designed to be built into a wall and hard wired in. However, the heater assembly does plug into the housing. This makes replacing the heater assembly easy if there ever is a problem. I bought this unit to replace a similar one that had developed problems (was in use for many years). I made sure the heater assembly was a direct plug in replacement for the defective unit, as it would have been very difficult to replace the enclosure (it plugged right in to the existing enclosure).

I replaced an old broan heater. Turn off at the wall switch. Unscrew existing fasteners. The new unit comes with a hook to aid in hanging it while wiring. I used two wire nuts, bolted back in. Very easy, took 10 minutes.

The heater comes with a mounting bracket that screws to the wall on then you hang the unit from the two tabs on either side of the bracket. It ends up being fairly flush to the wall
