Roger-
The ignition is a piezoelectric device. But
there is no blower on the model that I got. The thermostat is for the burner. It
has a pilot light and I only used the ignition device when I first started the
heater. I had the heater thermostat set at its lowest setting and when the G
house air was warm the burner shut itself off, then restarted by the
thermostat.
I used circulation fans to move the warm air around
the house. The blower for the heater seemed like a rip off. Is like $60.00 and
very tiny.
One more reason I really like using this particular
model is that I could disconnect the gas line and just remove the entire heater
from the house in the warm season. Very user friendly.

John - Thank you for your suggestion. I looked at this heater, and while it appears to have a thermostatically controlled blower, it still has a piezoelectric ignition, so I'd have to go turn on the heater every night, and there's no shutoff of heat when the temperature is warm enough. Can anyone recommend a propane heater that has electric ignition and a thermostat so it can be hands-free heat? Roger |
