The present disclosure provides a foot-operated control switch and a space heater. The foot-operated control switch includes a mounting base, a main control circuit board, a first button switch and a display screen. The mounting base includes a top cover; the main control circuit board is provided in the mounting base and configured for electrical connection with a controlled device; the first button switch is electrically connected to the main control circuit board and configured to control at least one or a combination of turn-on, turn-off, temperature, wind speed, timing and power of the controlled device; and the display screen is arranged on the top of the mounting base, and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board.

This application is directed to a heating apparatus for mounting within a ceiling. The heating apparatus includes an enclosure, a heating element mounted to a portion on the enclosure, a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the enclosure, and a fan located within the enclosure for generating airflow through the enclosure to dissipate heat. The fan may be turned on when a temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches a pre-determined threshold.
