Good catch and important point re: fan run for cool down. I totally missed/forgot that
No problem, John. That's what we are all here for.
If the tStat is built in then can it just be wired straight to the panel or does it need a safety disconnect?
My guess would be that as long as the disconnecting means is within sight, then no, a separate disconnect isn't needed. We'll need one of our Canadian friends to confirm that to be sure. Also, you'll need to check the name plate on the unit or the manufacturer's specifications to see what their requirements are. Some may even require fusing in the disconnect, though I seriously doubt it.
