Take full control of your diesel heater with the AUTOTERM Comfort Controller — the advanced digital control panel designed for AUTOTERM Air and Flow (liquid) heaters. Whether you're deep in the mountains or parked up at a remote campsite, this controller gives you precise, intuitive control over your heating from a single panel.
What it does
The Comfort Controller replaces the basic controller that ships with your heater, giving you four distinct heating modes, three programmable timers, and a built-in temperature sensor — so you can set it and forget it, or fine-tune the heat exactly how you like it.
- Temperature Mode — Maintains your set temperature by continuously adjusting heater power. No on/off cycling, just consistent warmth.
- Thermostat Mode — Heater shuts down completely once it reaches your target temperature and restarts only when it drops. Great for overnight use when you want quiet.
- Power Mode — Runs the heater at a fixed power level, just like the original controller. Simple and reliable.
- Heat + Ventilation Mode — Heats to your target, then switches to fan-only mode to circulate air until the temperature drops. Maximises comfort without overcooking your van.
