How can a thermostat control an infrared heater?
All thermostats measure air temperature, so the infrared heater will keep heating the floor and other objects until the warm surface heats the air. When the air is up to temperature and the thermostat is satisfied the infrared heater will shut off, until the thermostat has another call for heat.

How does a RCC Cove heater work?
The RCC cove heater mounts on any wall surface, near the ceiling where its dual function heating can be fully utilized. Radiant heat energy is directed downward, warming people and objects near the floor, as well as the floor itself. Room air gains heat from these objects and rises toward the ceiling. The back side of the cove heater acts as a convector heater, pulling the cooler air from the floor area, behind and over the heater, thus helping to circulate and mix the air in the room until it reaches an equilibrium temperature. The out-of-the-way mounting also permits complete freedom of furniture placement in a room, because the heaters will not be subjected to blockage, which reduces the efficiency of floor or low-wall mounted heaters.
