Get Thermostat with "Fan Only" setting

[Mmfh]

Hey there,
Just wanted to let guys know something that is nice about these hanging gas heaters, they have a "Fan Only" Terminal where the thermostat hooks up.

My thermostat has a "Fan Only" switch, old White Rodgers Analog stat. Yesterday it was very stuffy in the garage so I wanted some air movement, didn't feel like setting up my big fan.

I took a green wire, which was in my thermostat cable I used, from the "G" terminal on the back of the heater, to the "G" terminal inside of the stat.

When I turn the stat to fan only, the heaters big fan runs and circulates air around the shop. Made a big difference yesterday with the door open and the air moving around.

My old heater I couldn't do that. Just thought I would put that out there if somebody didn't think to use that option.

I wanted to use a low temperature thermostat for my garage install, but couldn't find one that also had a 'fan only' switch. Then it hit me - get two thermostats! Use the low temp one in the winter and then simply swap the stats out and use a standard temp thermostat with a 'fan only' switch during the summer when just air movement is desired...

That's exactly what I do...I wired up a toggle switch just for that.

I used this tstat in my garage. It is a low temp and you can use it for fan only in the summer.
