Gas wall heaters used to be fairly popular here in S Tx. They seem to
also be very popular in S California, where central air is not as common
as you would think. Of course they come in varying capacities, features
and controls. Some oldest ones did not have a thermostat at all-- just
an adjustment like on the burner of a gas stove. Others have a built in
thermostat with a mercury filled cap tube/bulb.Still others have a
millivolt control and a wall thermostat. They also have units with 24
volt controls and a wall stat, but those kind usually have a
thermostatically controlled fan motor also which is not an accessory but
must work (as in a regular central furnace). Some of the others have an
accessory fan that is not necessary for the heater to operate. One
advantage of the units that do not use 24volts is that they will work
during a power outage. Overall, they usually work fairly well. The main
problem with them is that the burners are only about a foot or less off
the floor, so they are real bad about getting stopped up with dust, pet
hair etc. It is obviously very important that they be kept clean. I
realize that these type of heaters may not even be what you are talking
about though, but I just had to put in my 2 cents. Larry

In this part of the country, that usually means wall furnace, as described
above. I have one sitting in may garage, waiting for the next garage sale,
that I ripped out of this addition last year, in favor of extending the duct
trunk from the new real furnace I installed at the same time, to replace the
1960 original. Common in trailers and cheap duplex/triplex rentals in
college towns.
