Will this unit work with a ceiling heater - blower type?

This thermostat will work with anything that matches its power management limits. I set mine up to trip a relay that handles two different voltages. Its great.

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.

If the control panel matches the same model you have, then yes it will work. But you might want to check the blower motor resistor first before you replace the control unit. The blower motor resistor will most likely be the cause if your problem. They are more likely to go out than the control unit itself.

i think it should work, but remember it does not use household electricty, the heating unit creats electricty. and that is what opens and close the thermostat

We had the heater and blower installed by the gas company. The guy told us the blower wouldn't do much good. He said a ceiling fan is all you need. But, since we had already purchased the blower, we had him install it anyway. Now that we've used it a few times, we admit he was right. If you have a ceiling fan, forget the blower. It doesn't blow with much force at all....kinda pitiful, really. And it's a bit noisy, too, so save your money & just use a ceiling fan to circulate the heat.

Yes, and it needs to be a special type that is compatible with the heater. The safest choice is to get the one the Toe Kick Heater Company recommends. I thought I could save money by buying the thermostat someplace else. It was then wrong kind.

I don't know. I tried it with my Haier AC unit which it is supposed to work with. It is a paperweight. I was not able to get it to function.

You can probably get it to work for any heater since it has a regulator with it too. the connection is a 3/8 inch. not sure if you need a female or male end for the connection. You need to check how it's connected now.

Not unless you can find a remote thermostat for fan type unit heaters - not sure there is such a thing. Most remote thermostats will cut power to the whole unit without allowing the fan to cool down the element, which will eventually fry the element.

Yes! We ordered the recommended blower kit and added it with no problem. It is a very good heater except that we have trouble with it going out sometime.

yes, as long as you have the right pipe that fits. good luck! the heater works great !

Yes that will work on this unit. I am an electrician and that will do the job.

It will, however it is not that accurate do to the location of the sensor one inch away from the heater. I have to adjust it to a higher setting than you would think so the room stays warm. It works well once you remember this, they should have made the sensor remote so it would be a true reading.

it should only uses two wire. I have it on a gas fireplace, without blower. if you have more than two wires I don,t if it will work. BOB

If your blower has any sort of protruding base for attachments on the blower port it should work. I hooked it up to both my Toro and B&D; units just fine.

blower can be used but I doubt you will need one. Heater produces good heat without one.

It should. Your remote unit will respond to the remote transformer attached to the fan.

In theory it will work but I would be sure to check the specifications for the Powerbridge in terms of watts/amps relative to what the fan/heater draws. As with any outlet/circuit, you do not want to overload it. If it were me, I wouldn't do it.
