do you need to wire this to a separate thermostat or is controller on the unit?

The controller is not on the unit. But there is one made for the unit that replaces the left front panel. That thermostat is available from Amazon - King BKT2BW Double Pole Single Throw Built In Thermostat Kit, White Or, I guess you could wire it to a wall thermostat.

It has to be wired to a separate thermostat. There is no temperature control on the unit itself.

No thermostat is included with unit, I went with a wall mount thermostat but I'm sure you can get one that will install on one of the wire compartments of the unit.

yep, you just plug it in and its set. it also has a thermostat turning it off when it warms up.

I think the temp controller is on the cord, so if yours is OK I would think you can use it. Ours shorted out so we decided to replace both the cord with the thermostat and the heating element.

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.

I really doubt that you can hard wire this unit with an external thermostat. But why do that? The remote already has the built-in thermostat. So there's no need to hard wire if it comes with a transmitter and a receiver. Just make sure you purchase the model that comes with this.

This is just the floor electric unit. You have to buy the thermostat by itself. Our control unit is programmable which is nice during the day we turn it off and have it on in the morning and evening.

There are two controls. One is off, fan only, fan with heat. The other is a thermostat that controls whe. The heat cycles on and off.

It has power in, power out, and thermostat connections that need connected. Depending on use may have to move some jumpers. It's default jumpers are set to cool.

For me there was one already installed to control a fan. The existing one went bad and locked into full power so I replaced it. There was three wires from my fireplace. One is power that is looped with a thermostat and the other is a neutral. Should be simple swap out, resolder the wires and it's ready to go.

I did it myself, with basic knowledge of wiring. You might have to do a bit of research depending on your units wiring, but it really isn't any harder than any other thermostat.

No. What you have is a knob that has low, medium and high. I have not had any problem with this setup, I don't know if a thermostat would make a difference. If I had a furnace yes a thermostat is what you want.I prefer to control the unit myself.

No. It's linked to the wall thermostat. Very nice unit though. Warm and quiet! We are happy with it. Electrician said it was an easy installation.

No, you will have to purchase a separate timing switch and wire the heater to that switch.

No thermostat I bought a plug in one and connect the heater to it. It works really well.

The Ecobee thermostat is a two piece unit: the control unit that you put in your hallway and the equipment interface module which you put in your cellar near the furnace. When you buy the thermostat, you get both pieces and you need to use them both. They connect by the cable that your original thermostat used to connect to your furnace and AC, so you don't need to run a new cable. You then connect your furnace and AC to the equipment interface module. Piece of cake, right? WRONG! This is a very flexible and complex unit, and can handle all sort of fancy systems, so you really need to know what you're doing to connect it. I have a separate furnace, AC compressor, and air handler (and a degree in electronics), and it took me about 5 hours with the furnace and air-handler schematics to figure out how to connect this thing. It turned out the original contractors who installed the AC and furnace wiring made mistakes; my old thermostat forgave them but the Ecobee wouldn't. That said...I love this unit. It was worth the time and expense.

depend on what you are hooking it up to. If using as a battery charger than yes you need a controller. If hooking up to grid tie inverter or D C heat element than no do not need a controller.

You need a separate thermostat that can wire and mount to the unit or run it off a line voltage wall thermostat.. This model runs on 240volt supply. Check the website King-electric.com for useful info then you can order from Amazon. All types of these must be hard wired to supply voltage. Gives great heat, really well made.
