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

what jumper? Look at the wiring diagrams of your thermostat. The power to the thermostat is only to be used if your furnace/thermostat connection doesn't use a 24vac power source. My thermostat needed the extra and I was able to to simply determine that the two wires from the power supply should be on The 3M-50 can be externally powered with a power source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at connect to the C and RH terminals (no polarity). Look at your thermostat wiring diagram to determine the correct connections. My system is very happy with this arrangement, but be careful not to mis-wire your connections. If you cannot find the correct placement, I recommend calling to your thermostat or furnace manufacturer to be sure of the placement, most 'high-efficiency' units are very computer oriented and please do not risk damage to the control unit on your furnace by mis-wiring.

Does not come with blower. The blower should be listed as add-on recommendations. I'm pretty sure the unit came with a thermostat remote control. I don't believe that was a add-on. The control box is battery operated, which has 3 settings. Off, Remote & On. When control is set on the remote section, your remote control will operate the off & on, then your mode and setting your temp. It will have a instruction booklet as well. The blower has its own separate 3 way switch and mounts on the bottom left of unit. Hope that helps a little. All was purchased through Amazon a few years ago. Works great, very pleased.

It has a thermostat that kicks off and on automatically. You set the thermostat inside the door. The remote will turn the flame up and down, turn the blower on and off and turn the unit on and off but the remote doesn't control the thermostat.

The GND (ground) from this does not connect to the thermostat. The thermostat is grounded through the original wiring to your furnace. Look online for instructions on how to use this with I assume a wireless thermostat.

I honestly have no idea... ours is still in the box. I actually thought this was something else (just hook up new thermostat on the wall and put the portable one in another room-it's not) and we may end up returning or getting a professional to install it.

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 believe so, check with your installer because this unit comes with two components,1: is the thermostat itself, 2: is a unit that connects at the furnace or AC unit.

outlet. just insure that the ambiant temp around the unit is the air temp that you want to measure for the built-in thermostat. great device i have two. i have never seen anything similiar on the market today. well made...not a toy very well engineered and intuitive propraming. my only minor complaint is that you cannot overide to "on manual" position...but then, admittedly that would negate the purpose of having an automatic controller!

You will need a thermostat to control it. Make Your life a little easier and buy the one the manufacturer recommends. It's about $150, but it has a built in GFI. That's about it.

I enstalled an outlet out side so that the therostat is actually located out side. When system is running it is only warm at best, I used it for a High Energy Furnace water drain that was freezing up and backing up inside the furnace. Only run it when temp gets in the 30's and lower. I would think that having the thermostat inside would nulify the device.....

Hi Marc. The included thermostat is in that box you see at the end of the power conduit leading to the fan. This thermostat could easily be replaced by anything else you want to use to control power to the fan.

If you have a regular outlet a few feet away it is cake. I gently cut a hole in the correct place in the air duct, positioned it properly (see directions) and screwed it in. We had an electrician hard wire it to the air handler and it works great.

It is part of the purifier system. Blue light on left front of unit indicates it is on, however you will not hear the fan run just as you do not hear it until the thermostat kicks in on the heater. If you want to stricktly run it as an air circulation device (room fan) I don't think you'll have much luck. It is tied to the air purifier so may work for circulation as well. Just as a comment, I am more than happy with my unit. It works very well and is safe around my baby grandson.

This may be dependent upon electrical coding regulations in your town. If the outlet is near the spot where you will be mounting the fireplace you can create a hole near the bottom area of the wall behind the fireplace and fish it through to plug into the outlet.

Hi Claude, This thermostat opperates on DC current. It is powered by a transformer on your furnace that converts your 120V AC corrent to 3 volts DC current. (You already have that transformer in your furnace. It operated your previous thermostat.) It also has a 2 AA Battery back-up in case the power goes out. Your local power companies Load Control Device will have absolutely no effect on this unit. Gil PS - it is a great thermostat. Easy to program and works like a dream.
