Can it be installed with a wall thermostat?

The Owners Manual specifically says that the on-board thermostat can be bypassed and can work with a wall mounted thermostat. Very easy to do. This ability is important as the heating unit must be installed not less than 6 feet from the floor, which would make the built in thermostat difficult for most people to reach. Adding a wall mounted thermostat is very convenient.

Theoretically yes. However unless you understand electrical wiring etc I would leave it to a license electrician. Since it has a thermostatic control built into the switch I really don't see the advantage of another thermostat.

It is not designed to be installed with a thermostat, but if you were sufficiently equipped, I'm sure it's possible. In effect, it doesn't need an external thermostat as the switch functions like a thermostat in the sense that there is a temperature range at which the unit will automatically turn on and off triggered by an internal thermostat. Set at its highest point, the unit remains on and throwing heat. Set the switch anywhere in between, and the unit cycles on and off according to the temperature determined by the internal thermostat depending on how far you turn the switch. As evidence of this internal thermostat, you should also note, that this internal thermostat turns on the unit after you shut it down so as to cool down the coil automatically.

No, but why spend the money on a "connected" thermostat if you're not going to connect it? Just buy a cheaper programmable one.

I hadn't put the dry wall up yet, in my project. So it was easy to do the wiring with a GFI in the line with the thermostat. You wouldn't want to just plug it in to a wall socket.

Not easily. There is no hook or fixture built into the unit, nor did any corresponding hardware come in the package for it to be attached to a wall. If you can install a small shelf (at least 10 inches wide, 7 inches deep) to place the heater on - that would work. On back of unit you will find various vents and plastic angles on which you might be able to attach some kind of hanging hardware. But, like I said, not easily. Hope this helps.

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.

This heater can be used with a wall moun†ed thermostat. I beleive there are wiring instruction in the owners manual for the heater. I used the Honeywell Manual Electric Baseboard Thermostat which is also available on Amazon. SHould use Lithium battery as they hold up better in cold trump environments.

I would look at the wiring just to double check. But if the new thermostat fits the current wall mount then I would say no rewiring is necessary.

I don't think so with the high temp there. I hung mine where the former thermostat was in my hallway.

Yes, as long as you have pre-set both the heat and a/c temps then put it on 'auto'. I love this about this thermostat since I don't have to turn on the heat or a/c separatelyJust be sure to follow the directions, it's pretty simple to do. Best thermostat we've ever had!!!

No the thermostat must have a B and an O terminal to energize the zone controller in the basement. Some companies make wirewless thermostatats that also interconnect to a zone damper panel

I did not use a wall plate . Just used the thermostat . next to the light switch box ..

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

Yes the ptg can have the thermostat installed. But be careful that you get the right one, I thought they would be universal and bought one. Turns out they Arnt and this one was too long, bummer! It's easy to install and by doing that you can run it off of an inverter!

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.

Well I would not because it takes in fresh air from the rear of the unit with a filter. So in my opinion the unit would over heat if you set it flush, because it could not get fresh air.you could probably get by with moving it a few feet away from wall so as not to restrict air flow.

Probably not you need 24 volts for a wall thermostat,and these models are 240 volt.home programmable stats are setup for 24 volt control low voltage so homeowners dont juice themselves,and for practical reasons.

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.
