What is the difference between line voltage control and low voltage control?
Line voltage is the voltage that is present on most of the plugs in your house…110-120 volts. All coolers require a line voltage connection, usually a single 20 amp circuit. Most coolers are available as 2 speed coolers supporting line voltage control. A six position switch is the standard control method, some line voltage thermostats are available to provide more automatic control. (off, hi cool, low cool, hi vent, lo vent and pump only are the six positions). As stated above, all coolers require a circuit to the cooler as a minimum. With line voltage control, six wires should then be run through the attic, down inside a wall, have a box cut into the wall, have the wires terminated in that box to your switch or thermostat. By comparison, low voltage control still requires the same 20 amp circuit to the cooler. Then a control box allows low voltage thermostat wiring to be run to a good place for the thermostat. Electricians must perform the line voltage connections at your expense, w
