Very nice little heater unit - expecially for a workshop type space that you need to knock the chill off of. Super great that it is a connected device so you can pre-heat the shop prior to going out to work. You're going to need that this week and this coming weekend, for sure.
Please check wiring diagram because you could be switching the neutral instead of the active, if that's the case when you turn the unit off everything inside is still live.
Quick tip, I like to tin or solder stranded wire in some applications. This keeps the strands all in one solid connection, especially under lug screws. I'm getting ready to order a shop heater, and this video was great! I'm going to look closer at this heater. I would recommend to anyone, use a Romex connector through that 3/4 hole in the heater. Also I would have used a different ground lug. That one with the heater looks cheap. Thanks for the video. This was great information.
I'm electrically challenged. I have a 220v previous heater outlet in my garage. It's on a double breaker. Does this mean I'm only able to run it at 3000 watts? Does this mean it doesn't run as it should/can? Will i be disappointed and not buy it because it's only running at half it's power?
Once you pair up the external thermostat, does the unit then use that to determine the temperature setpoint? Like say you had it paired up and put the external thermostat in a cold corner. Would the unit then keep running until that cold corner was warmed up to the desired temperature or is it still based on the unit itself and the temperature of it?
Thanks for sharing! 👍 👍 👍 So, do I really need the app on your phone use this correctly? I just hate putting chinese apps on my phone.....I refused to do that.
Hello there I just installed this in my shop today and I can’t get the app to work it will it just keeps saying WiFi not found , I don’t know much about that maybe I need a wifi extender for my shop I’m not sure but anyway I say to tell you that you don’t have to have the app to use this you can control it from the remote, there are things you can’t do without the app like set it to turn on at a certain time and such as that but if you don’t care about that part of it then just use the remote and you can turn it off and on and adjust the temperature and fan speed , you can even pair the thermostat without the app , I can honestly say it was around 52 in my shop and I turned this on and at first I thought man this thing isn’t doing much I mean I could feel the heat but not much then I just happen to stand on a stool to do something and figured out that all the heat was at the ceiling so I turned on a fan I have to circulate the air and it took it up to 60 in about 10 minutes or so and my shop is 24x26 with 8 ft ceilings a big garage door and several air leaks here and there so I’m sure when I get those stopped it’ll be even better I’ve seen a lot of folks use a fan to circulate the air and I think that is a must but overall so far I’m very impressed with this heater and I was worried about not being able to use it without the app and all too but you can with no problem … good luck it’s a great little heater
Ok you got heat yay 🎉 but now what are you going to do when it comes to summer? Why didn't you ask a mini split company you can sponsor them? That way you would get heating and cooling for free since you would be sponsored by then.
@@desupernoodle oh I’m happy for him, I’ve got a heater just like that one, it works super awesome, costs me 15$/day to run in my shop though, it’s a hog
Ive heard good and bad reviews on this model. I like the power and wifi capability. But, is this chinese junk? I would appreciate any input from those who own these. Thanks.
@@LandtoHouse We are in between homes right now. Looking to sell where we are presently. It would be ideal to have a wifi heater to throw additional heat in house during winter months when temps are below zero, while mot there. I just worry that things made in China may cause a house fire while not there. Do you feel this unit is of high quality? I appreciate all your input.
@@LandtoHousehow do you know if it’s on the 3000 or 6000 I just installed. Mine today? Is the eco mode the 3000? And in your video you say you can’t run it on 6000 but I don’t know why
@@LandtoHousenevermind my last comment I went and watched again I missed all that info the first give somehow , but I still don’t understand about the high setting , I have a 30amp double pole and and old welder/ dryer plug and I ran mine today gif s while and I didn’t feel anything getting hot , but that is something I’ll keep an eye on for sure , thanks for the video
I think a cable clamp / strain relief should be installed where that cable enters the heater
They should include a cord grip with the heater that’s pretty crazy!

What if you have a remote shop without WIFI? Will the external thermostat still function off of Bluetooth?

Yes that's exactly how it work. Great for warming up the whole room.
Can you wire this unit directly to a 240v circuit with a junction box rather than a plug in?
Yes you absolutely can. One of the reasons I wired my heater as I did is because I wanted to visually see it was unplugged.
@@LandtoHouse Thanks for the info
Yes, I wired mine direct
Thanks for sharing! 👍 👍 👍

@@Harles-ep2iv
Thanks, working on this install!
@@doesntmatter3068 your welcome let me know how you like it , I’m fixing to go then mine on in a few minutes it’s cold here this morning
Would u used this in ur home?
Ventless red glow Propane heaters is the cheapest way to heat in Missouri
Gonna need another 30 solar panels to offset that electric hog monster
Yes it cheaper than wood at 1.59 a gallon
Ok you got heat yay 🎉 but now what are you going to do when it comes to summer? Why didn't you ask a mini split company you can sponsor them? That way you would get heating and cooling for free since you would be sponsored by then.
And it could be ran off solar
Why can't people just be happy for others anymore.
@@desupernoodle oh I’m happy for him, I’ve got a heater just like that one, it works super awesome, costs me 15$/day to run in my shop though, it’s a hog
This shop has a window AC unit for summer cooling.

This heater has kept my 14x20 shop at temp all winter. I am very happy with it. The unit stays on the 3000w setting. So far no issues.

Why cant you run it on 6000 setting? Do you need a bigger breaker?@LandtoHouse
Luv this! ❤️
