Very easy to install. Take the front plate of your old thermostat, make a note of the color wires screwed in to the female wiring harness. Take the back plate off the wall and put the new one in. screw in the wires in the right colors that are noted, clip the cover on and you are done. Great product, only does 2 degrees at a time, but that is all you need.

I had this fan installed a few weeks ago. I can operate with the remote and the wall switch. Your electrician can set that up for you. I will say that I love using the remote. It has several speed settings and you can change the direction with it. I have received many compliments on this one; it looks amazing!!!

You definitely do not need an electrician. There's no wiring, just plug it in. Depending on your computer skills, you may need help with that. There's a little network setup to do, but even that is pretty basic stuff.

No, you will need to hire an AV installer that sells URC to program it for you. Would not try to do it yourself on this one. It's worth it once it's all done. The remote is truly nice and works well (and I'm super picky).

I believe it can, I don't have the digital but I have replaced the original thermostat and it was pretty easy, I would go to www.traegergrills.com to confirm, I know at one time they offered this model as a promo including the digital thermostat

Okay..I just checked out my review and remembered the manual (if not updated) was not that straightforward. As long as you can understand the steps I wrote in my review, I think you can install yourself. ( I am not a professional neither...) Since the installation (more than a year ago), I feel it's been a great addition to our house.

I hired a master electrician to install my units so I cannot help as I do not know the answer to your questions.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

No, there is no remote. I had an electrician purchase one and then install it so I could use the remote. It comes with a chain to pull on and off.

Yes if your a basic electrician with automotive knowledge you can install it yourself

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.

This item's electrical work needs to be installed by a professional electrition. This is not an item that can be hooked up on one's own. I had two estimates done by two different electrician companies, and the estimates were both around $1, 600.

No, I'm not able to program it by myself.It end up being programed by the technician from local dealer.

You should have it installed on its own deticated circuit. If your removing an older heater and replacing it with this one you should be fine installing it yourself.
