does it come with a thermostat or just an on off switch? will it heat a 15 x 15 room 8' ceiling...in the san francisco area?

It does not come with thermostat or on off switch. This needs to be connected to power supply by electrician and thermostat added as well.

Comes without a thermostat, and I would think it would be fine for California.

since it's only a 400/800 watt heater, it's more of a spot heater. Since your room is 15x20, you should look into a more powerful heater that puts out 1500 watts in one of its settings. I actually don't use the oscillating feature because it's not that powerful and usually use the 800 setting for just a couple of hours. Overnight, I switch it to the 400 watt setting.I think those Living Pure infrared heaters would heat up your 15x20 room easily and those heaters radiate the heat everywhere whereas this heater is more of a directional, spot heater

It will heat the room. The sensor is under the flooring, in my case under the tile. Once the material around the thermostat reaches the programmed temperature, it will shut off. The controller on the wall does sense ambient temperature and will display both floor and ambient temperature

No it does not, however it has an on/off switch that includes positions for different lengths of time it will stay on before shutting off automatically. It says it cost $0.09 per day to operate. It works nicely to warm your body but not at a great distance. This is on an open deck with wind flowing, not sure how it would work in a room/garage. Probably much better.

The unit is not sold with an on-off wall switch. Unless you are an experienced and qualified electrician, I absolutely recommend that you spend the extra bucks to have it properly installed with a dedicated circuit for the heat and separate circuits for the light and fan. I also recommend putting the fan on a timer in order to ensure the moisture is properly vented after every shower.

Yes, it has one knob with Off/Fan only(no heat)/Low/High and a separate thermostat knob which cycles the fan and heat (fan is not continuous). When off, the power light goes off. The power light is on when the switch is in fan,low or high and stays on throughout the thermostat cycling. It puts out the same amount of heat as any heater with the same power rating (and they're mostly the same with a high setting of 1500 watts so they can be used on a typical 15 amp circuit).

I am heating a basement room 16x24 with a 10 ft ceiling and it does a great job. I use the economy setting which allows us to drop the heat by several degrees. Also you can set the on- off times so it doesn't have to waste heat during the night. My unit is the EX 17 (BTU) Natural Gas model.

Yes, the unit has an on/off switch. It does not have thermostatic control. Nice air flow

Yes, it does. Can be used with fan on or off. I don't know how well it would heat a large room....we have ours in our kitchen, which is rather large in an open floor plan. I believe it cuts down on the floor drafts quite nicely. I love the low profile (not deep) and it is a nice looking piece. We love it.

Yes it does. The bottom slide-switch powers it off completely. Or, if you still want to see the temp in the room, during summer months, just keeping the thermostat turned up high will prevent the heat from coning on too.

You have one switch and you can choose to have a thermostat controlled low or high heat(the low or high determines the force of the fan) (thermostat settings range from 60 65 70 75 or 80) or you can choose to have just a continuous fan heat, low or high. The heater is super quiet. We have it in the upstairs bedroom and turn it on the low continuous heat in the mornings for about an hour and the room temp is perfect.

This unit doesn't have an accurate thermostat when used in an area with high ceilings, or inadequate insulation. Also depends on the area being heated. An inline electric thermostat would be a little better at controlling the temperature if placed in the right area opposite the heater. My recommendation would be to go at least 100 sq ft larger in Heater size. It seems that you are at max sq ft per BTU rating.

You turn it on and it's good to go...you control it with the remote control. There's a high and a low setting. Once it reaches the max. temp within both of those settings, it will shut off and come back on, just like your furnace. The temperature is a digital panel on the front, so you know what temp the room is at. Very handy unit.

It DRAWS 750W at low setting and 1500W at high. It produces 5000+ BTUs. It is sufficient to heat a room 8 x 12 with a very high ceiling due to the airflow pattern. Just don't knock it over.

It has two knobs on top...one controls how hot you want it to get before it automatically stops. It will keep the room at that temp by automatically turning off and on. The right knob turns it on and has 3 settings, fan, low and high.;

It depends on how you wire it. I have mine attached to a wall mounted on off switch. If it is hard wired without a intervening switch it will restart automatically and will suto shut off based on the thermostat. Because it needs to be mountef 6 plus feet from the floor I mounted mine off the ceiling. I did not want to use ladder to adjust thermostat so I put in on off switch.
