Exact same heater and mine stuck on as well, my garage was 28 degrees , thanks for the video , saved me some $, works great
Awesome 👍
Got the same heater same problem. Thanks for the solution 👍
Hi Steve, that is a good fix. It is also easier to adjust your temperature in your garage, with the stat located lower. Thanks Friend
Yes exactly , -17 yesterday and it was nice and warm all day.
That should come in handy this winter. Stay warm
It's a keeper and today i'm out filming another blockbuster vid :)
Wow You did great Steve!
Thanks Annie so im good for another winter of vids in the shop :)
Nice resolve Steve! Stuzman!
Yes one of the sharpest guys you will ever find on youtube .
How's she goin'? Great job on the install. A good solution too, just set the heater at a high temp and then the wall thermostat will control the unit!!! Take care and stay warm!!!
Works great Mike and I'm out in the shop at -17 doing some fancy vids again :)
That looks like a nice set up. I'm sure it will heat the shop up quickly.
Jim it's a jim dandy of a heater for these long winters . Cheers
Awesome job Steve! Professional work right there Buddy!
Thanks Doug , I did get some professional help , my wife is always telling me I need some professional help so I got some :)
STEVE ROB REVIEWS 🤣
Nice ! You will find it to be a lot more comfortable and a lot more consistent temp with the wall mount thermostat !
Yes it would only regulate the heat 6 feet off the floor so now it's much better. -17 today .
@@SteveRobReviews WOW ! - 17, you people up there just ain't right ! LOL ! Take care Steve !
@@billyr9840 HAHAHA
Nice fix, I wanted one of those but we don't have 240 in our garage
The heater you have is fine but natural gas would be awesome like a house furnace .
Great fix..and you make a great point when installing something like this...the rising of the heat and height of the heater from work area needing to be heated. Glad you found a fix and Thumbs up to Princess Auto
Thanks Lee its much better know . 👍
You need to watch. I have the same setup. That thermostat on high will over heat and will heat up. We had a week of -40 and the heater was run alot. The actual thermostat will get hot and throw off your temp. When i looked into why it was off it melted the connectors cause of the heat.
I haven't experienced that problem but them switches are garbage so if I have any problems I will remove it entirely.
That's cause the max amps on your stat is rated lower than your heater. Steve has a 6000W heater and a 28A stat so this shouldn't happen.
Having it lower makes it easy to be comfortable. Now for the AC.
Yes I agree my feet will love it :) As for the Ac for 10 days a year , I might hold off on that one . LOL
Happy you got your new thermostat going....I can see one thing that we as electricians consider when we install a thermostat and I`m saying this without criticizing your installation....we never put them beside windows but for your garage, IT`S GOOD ENOUGH AND I CALL THE INSTALLATION AND FIX AS A ""GOOD FIX"...CHEERS
Thanks Gator , I did wonder if the window would cause the thermostat to stay on being that close but so far it's working fine. Cheers
@@SteveRobReviews It`s just that you have to set it a bit lower or it will increase your ambient temp but hey....that`s not in your house....CHEERS
That looks like a great setup and will work just like you want it to.
Lloyd it's working out great . 👍
Looks like a good upgrade to me!
Much better and registers the temp lower to the floor made a big difference.
glad you got it done right thumbs up shared
Nice and warm in the shop so I'm happy ☺ cheers bud.
Great video! I purchased the same heater and had the same issues. I plan on doing the same as you have! Thanks for the info!
Cheers John.
Nice setup Steve and I checked out your buddy and subbed.
Thanks Ken , it was very nice of Terry to offer such valuable help as I needed it too :)
I'm just here to see if there were gonna be anymore time travel comments! Actually, that works really good. Must better than having to turn it on and off all the time. You'll have a nice toasty warm garage all winter
LOL Ok its a go and i'm ready to get back to some high quality vid making :)
Much better position for the thermostat mate it proves that bad things that happens in life can be turn into a positive 👍👍👍
All fixed now and ready to film for terrific bodges . Cheers Igor
Why wouldn't you show the thermostat part number and perhaps a link where it could be bought?
Great question. I'm one of the few channels that buys everything myself, no sponsored videos on my channel. I bought it at princess auto but most don't know who that is if they don't live in Canada. Cheers 👍
PA is an awesome store, on special nights I take my wife for a date night there LOL. The cover to your receptacle looks off to me at 1:23 Is the cover made of OSB wood? Love your videos Steve, always something interesting and helpful. Cheers
LOL thats special flame retardant OSB cover plates shipped from China :)
Simple as that! Thanks!
Works awesome Joe 👍
Great job Steve and thanks for the shoutout! 😀👍
Thanks Terry and thank you for all the help. 👍
Has it lasted? The thermostat was rated for 5800 watts at 240V and the heater is 6000W.
Lasted great . I use it on low most times .
Hey Steve. Tnx for the video. My issue with this same heater is not that it won't shut off, it's that it will only run on high for about 5 mins and then shuts off. Thermo mode I guess but the thermo light does not indicate anything. Shocking. Great heater otherwise. It runs fine in Low mode. So obviously I cannot do the same as you and put the external therm in series with the internal as I will certainly just have the same prob. Any ideas ( anyone ) how to just bypass all the internal therm all together? Cheers.
Good question. I'm only ever using it on low but the hi does work . I believe you can just remove the thermostat completely and ask PA for a new thermostat. You should have no problems getting one if not for free as they know of so many others that have the exact same problem. Go to your PA and ask for the manager 👍
I agree. Your a real princess Steve!😜
Well thank you kindly sir :)
Oh well look at that. I'm glad you got it figured out. I see nothing wrong with that. I would like it much better too...than trying to reach up high all the time. 👍😀
It's working great today at -17 , out in the shop today keeping warm . 👍
So I was hoping to see how you hooked up the thermostat inside the heater? Did you bypass the heater’s internal thermostat altogether? Where did the wires go? I remember in part 1 you had 2 blacks and 2 reds all connected together on the heaters internal thermostat...
The new thermostat is hooked up as normal but I now have two thermostats in series so the heater thermostat must be switched on and the new thermostat controls the temperature. Works great .
@@SteveRobReviews So I'm guessing you set the thermostat on the heater to its maximum, and just use the thermostat on the wall to control it? The problem with my heater is that even with it set to its maximum it still goes off too early. I will have to bypass mine.
@@Sugarkryptonite Yes you would have to bypass your heater switch completely .
Did the fan run after the thermostat shut the heater off to cool the heater off before it stopped when you used the original thermostat? If it didn't your setup is fine. If it did it is better to connect the new thermostat to the connections on the original thermostat on the heater so the fan will run long enough to cool of the heater after the heating unite shuts off. Location of the new thermostat is fine either way. If the fan did continue to run just disconnect the thermostat from the power cord and add a set of wires from the new thermostat to the connections on the built in thermostat. If you can get to the original connections on the thermostat it would be easy to connect. Of course you would need to reconnect the wires to each other in the power cord.
Gordon the fan shuts off at the same time as the thermostat shuts it off there was no delay on the fan. So far it seems to be just fine running off the remote thermostat. Cheers
Nice job Steve wan,t to ask a question I am looking for a camera security system for my house what you,r thoughts on this.
Hi Danny. I dont have any security cameras so I havent a clue.
What is the model number of the thermostat you used....
Reginald this unit from princess auto is $19.99 online and the SKU : 8678310
Dear Steve, this is not a joke. I might need one for my new basement living space. lol. Its getting quite freezing in there and I am thinking bout getting another heater. But if then the electricity bill goes mad it doesnt really help. Lol. 6000W... hmmmm
Stay warm Simone , try more beer :)
@@SteveRobReviews lol
@@SteveRobReviews have you noticed a huge increase in electric bill? Im in the US and southern Michigan and use mine in garage but my internal thermostat is about junk and hard to get mine up to temp becuz of the junk thermostat and going this way!
I guarantee you I pay about 40% more for electricity so it's working out that I'm paying about 50 cents an hour to keep the shop at 70 deg. F . I only heat it up for days I'm out in the shop doing projects. Cheers
@@SteveRobReviews thanks! Im in quarantine right now so that's every day for me....lol!
Did your heater have two sets of hook ups? L1 and L2, and 1 & 2 for external thermostat? Which did you use?
Keith from what I can remember its a single use thermostat and only 2 conductors and a ground . Two in , two out and a ground that's all. Easy to hookup.
@@SteveRobReviews Thanks, Steve. I was referring to the hookups on the heater side. Mine has two for power and two for external thermostat. But i have the same double pole thermostat as you, and i'm thinking the wires from the thermostat will go to the power hookups on the heater, not the external thermostat hookups. wondering if that's how you did it.
Keith I'm not sure if yours is the same . If you look at the thermostat on the Princess auto web site it does show the instructions on how its wired. That may be better to see for sure because that's what I did .
Cool
Hot :)
Hey Steve I've watched your videos about this heater.. before I purchase from PA did you find it increased your hydro bill substantially? My shop is approx 500 sq ft 10 ceilings and r12. I'm in Kamloops so cold winters. Just curious if I should go NAtural gas.
I would go natural gas if you could over hydro but overall my electricity bill didnt go up all that much for the time I used it.
Nice job buddy! Can you recommend anything that would heat my driveway? 👍😂😂😂
Thanks , yes we have many here with electric probes installed , just turn it on and it melts the ice and snow away , no more shoveling or slippery drive. Only for rich people . I have three shovels and a snow blower .😂😂
We don't get snow. It's for heating my ass when I'm under the car 😂
@@TheCowgirlNiamh LOL ok I'm just thinking how I could help you out .
A small constructive note, a thermostat should not be installed on an exterior wall and closer to your window even colder, this distorts the reading because the wall is always colder = more expensive in electricity and less precise,a simple 2 inch wall and window support would fix the situation. the Canadian code explains it very well. P.S. I am an electrician by trade, but by and large fine work Steeve.
Thanks Pierre it's working out great . Cheers
Hi Steve I’m trying to follow your account on Instagram but it looks like it’s set to Private, I also sent you a PM there do you check your Instagram? I just need a little help with the Thermostat connection inside the unit. Thanks for the videos.
The connection at the thermostat is the same for a all 240 v units or a baseboard heater as well . I didnt show the connections because their is a million video on youtube showing it plus the instruction sheet shows it . Just a ground and two live wires , very simple . Look on youtube if you like for the connections if your not too good with electrical but they are shown on the instructions that come with the thermostat.
