Vornado heaters offer a completely unique way to maintain room comfort with an advanced control technology called Auto Climate Control. In order to understand how Auto Climate Control is unique, first, we need to look at how typical heaters attempt to control room temperature.
No Control Whatsoever
When you buy an entry-level heater, there's a decent chance that it has no thermostat on board, which means it has no way to automatically regulate its temperature output. With these units, you set your desired heat setting, and the unit will run non-stop at that setting, regardless of the room temperature. This is the simplest form of heat control, and in actuality, offers no automatic control of your room temperature.
Hot Or Cold - The Thermostat
Some heaters are equipped with a Thermostat. Much like a Thermostat in your central heating and air system, a heater's Thermostat will monitor for certain temperature conditions, and then automatically turn itself on or off in an attempt to keep a balanced temperature. As you can imagine, when the heater turns off, absolutely no heat is being created until the room cools off to a certain point. This creates hot and cool cycles. The temperature variations thermostats allow for (in order to decide when to turn on and off) varies by manufacturer, but often is several degrees.
A Smarter Way - The Thermistor
Vornado's Auto Climate Control uses a control technology called aThermistor to more intelligently regulate the heater's settings. Instead of just telling the heater to turn the heating element on or off athermistor can tell the heating system to produce more or less heat. This is superior to "on and off" operation because just the right amount of heat is being created to keep room conditions as desired - no more, and no less. But, this is only part of Auto Climate Control's magic. A Vornado will also intelligently adjust it's fan speed up or down, so that the unit is not only controlling heat output, but heat circulation as well. The combination of the two factors makes Auto Climate Control a uniquely effective option for winter comfort.
If you want to know which Vornado heaters feature Auto Climate Control, just hit the "compare" tab near the top of the Whole Room Heaters page of our site. Check the boxes next to the models you are considering, and if it says Thermistor on the results window, then you know that heater has this great feature.
