The cheaper heater paired with the inexpensive T-stat will not only save you a ton of money, but it will also give you better control and piece of mind.

The t-stat on my heater failed after only 2 weeks, but the heater itself runs like a champ. Lot of guys go this route for good reason.

Ahhh thank you I was thinking how accurate/reliable just the tstat on a heater would be. That makes much more sense doing it that way. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me a link to a Ranco t-stats I googled it they make a lot of different ones thanks!
