• Built-in Thermostat – Look for it – This feature was created for master bathrooms, when you only need heat in morning and night time. The built-in thermostat will keep the bathroom cool not cold. The when you want to take a bath or shower just crank the timer up, this will kick the bathroom wall heater to high. When the timer goes off you’re ready to go work.  
• Back box include – Look for it - All heaters must have back boxes but some times you can order them separately. The back box separates the heating element from touching the interior wall or insulation. It’s a code violation to not use a back box.
• Thermostat operation ranges – Look for it – Some people want to run the heater at the lowest temperature to keep the water pipes from freezing. If the operating range of 50° to 90° F, the heater will not go down to 40° F no mater how low you set it the thermostat.
• Summer Fan Switch – Avoid – This is used for commercial building applications, all it means it that the fan will run but the heater will remain off.
• Heavy Duty Grille – Avoid – Another commercial building application, the greater the foot traffic the higher the odds of someone smashing in the front grille of your wall heater. Unless you have a hotel dolly rolling around your home you more than likely don’t need the added cost of a heavy duty front grille.
• Tamper resistant built-in thermostat Avoid – Another commercial building application, this is used on office buildings, banks, hotel front vestibules.
