    UPDATE
    This has been replaced by the Surestat TS116 thermostat. Click here to view the updated version.

    This single stage thermostat comes prewired with an 8' grounded Plug in power cord. Simply plug the thermostat into a standard 110/120 volt outlet. Then plug any 110/120 volt appliance into the outlet on the plug of the thermostat. Heating thermostat is great for automating portable electric heaters.

    Thermostat placement in a greenhouse: To get the desired temperature, thermostats should be located at plant height near the center of the greenhouse where they are not influenced by drafts or the temperature of an exterior wall. It is best if both heating and cooling thermostats are located together and protected from direct contact with sunlight and water. One simple way to accomplish this would be to mount the thermostat(s) to a piece of wood (or other nonconductive material) with a top on it like in the picture to the left. Wood should be painted white to shade it from the sun.

    What is a Differential? The difference between on and off setpoints on a control. For temperature, it is the difference in degrees between the thermostat's on and off setting. If you set a heating thermostat with a 3 degree differential to 71°, it will supply power at any temperature below 71° and cut off at 74° (3 degrees above the setpoint). A cooling thermostat would cut on above 71° and off at 68°.

    I bought this to replace the Surestat thermostat that went out last summer. I am using it to control the fan in my greenhouse as my gas heater does not have a blower. I have the fan mounted high near the roof line and the thermostat mounted on the wall within easy reach. During severe weather that wall becomes damp, so I like the weather proof cover. It has been operating as advertised for the past two weeks. I purchased the last one in 2010 and it worked great for 13 years. Hoping I will get a similar return on my investment. Only giving it 4 stars because it has only been in operation for 2 weeks.

    So far so the SureStat thermostat has been working well to control a small heater in the greenhouse. Time will tell if it holds up over the long run

    This is the second thermal switch I've ordered. I installed it along with a second heater (separate circuit so I don't blow a fuse!) in my greenhouse. I love that it's completely analog - no fumbling around with programming or worrying about overheating, power spikes, or pulling too much current over a prolonged period of time as with some digital ones.
    Works very well. I have thermometers monitoring the greenhouse heaters, so I can watch in real time or look at graphs of temperatures and temp spikes to see that the switches are working properly, accurately, and dependably. Highly recommend this unit.
