Answer
Hi Jordan
I am sorry for the delay in answering your question

The newer UTH's do have thermostat's connected to them but they are more expensive than the ones without
However it may be cheaper to get the "all in one" compared to buying them separately

I believe that they are the dimmer type of thermostat and work well for controlling the heat from the UTH

Just be sure to check your temps if there is a big change in the room temp that the tank is located in

Best of luck to you both
