I just bought 2 thermostats and a rheostat off of somebody on here and in the description they did not put that it only read celsius, What should I do? I have tried to contact him about his description. Is it wrong to leave out that type of information? I feel it is, can somebody give me their input?
 
it is a no name digital thermostat with a probe. I can send you a link to his ad. It has a pic on it, but i do not want to bring his name into it since this is not a BOI thread. I will pm you with the link.
 
Well, this is an interesting situation. I did some digging on that thermostat, and it is designed for aquarium heaters (as in fish). It is also listed as unapproved/unsafe - I'm not sure why. It may be ok since you aren't using it in water, but I would be wary of it.

As far as the Celsius readout, given the manufacturing info, and the overseas market (looks like they get here primarily via eBay and online distributors), I doubt there is a way to change that. If you use them, you'll probably have to do the conversion. (I suppose, if one were interested, it would be possible to get more information about the unit, and see if there is a way to switch units)
