A proportional and staging control circuit is provided for a FPTU including heating element(s) selected so that the maximum heating capacity that can be provided by the unit is the highest practical for its size. Portions of this maximum heating capacity are switch selected for a given application of a FPTU with the switches each corresponding to portions (10% to 100%) of the selected maximum heating capacity so that a portion of the total heating capacity of a FPTU most closely equal to a desired heating capacity can be selected by operation of that switch. Each selected heating capacity is in turn staged with the heating capacity staging again being switch selected. FPTUs including the proportional and staging control are quickly switch configured for a given application without the need of a skilled electrician or technician.
