I want the heater to kick on when the temperature goes below 65 degrees. Will this thermostat do this? I can turn it up myself during the day.

Hello, to be honest I haven't gone through winter yet with this Thermostat. However, typically if you set your thermostat to 65..it will come on if outside temps are 65 or colder. This thermostat will do this.

Yes. Just set the temperature to 65 degrees and it will turn on if the temperature in the room goes below that. It will keep it at 65 degrees or whatever you set it to. Then you can raise the temperature by pressing the up arrows to the temperature you want later. The up and down temperature buttons are right on the front of the thermostat. You can see them in the photo. Easy to use. Lights up as soon as you touch one of the buttons!

I assume that you are aware this is a non-programmable thermostat. That being said, it will kick on at whatever level you set it. So if you want your furnace to kick on at 65 at night, you must manually set it for that temperature. If you want that is the level at which the furnace will run. You must then manually

Unfortunately, the thermostat is not set up in a temperature reading, rather, numbered 1 - 5. I believe the lowest thermostat level would engage the heater @ around 55*f for the entire room temperature.I guess it would depend on the size of the area you are working with and the placement of the heater within that area.... Overall the thermostat trigger points would remain the same, but if heater were installed near ceiling level, you would offset the actual area temperature to engage the heater at a lower temperature. The built in blower fan switch has the options of on-off-auto, but its air output is far from any kind of forced air performance. Again, it would depend on the area you are working with and the outside temperature or is subjected to, as I use it in a garage type working area of approx. 1200 sq. Ft. In the Georgia winters (the heater struggles a bit once it gets below freezing, but I can't complain as it is not rated for such a larger size area). I am still pleased with my purchase. I hope this helps.

I checked on my unit and the control goes down to 60 degrees.I have never had it lower than 72.I live in Houston and the room stays cold when the A/C is running.

I just checked the thermostat and it only goes down to 45 degrees. If you are trying to use this for freeze protection, you might look into a space heater with a built-in digital thermostat.

Mine has worked very well. I have 2 and am extremely happy with them, I dont have to heat the whole house now. I don't set it for a double setting Just set it at 55 degrees and it will come on when below that and go off when it reaches that temp.

The thermostat is just a dial...high to low. I just set it to the lowest setting. According to the specs, the lowest setting has the heater coming on at 35 degrees.

The information for this thermostat states "50 degrees" But I would unplug the cord if the temperatures were going to stay above 40.....just to save on the electric bill!

This model doesn't and I doubt any of them do. The digital thermostat can be set to the temperature you wish, but it is not programmable. It has a high setting to get a room warm fast, a middle setting to maintain temperature and a low setting that doesn't let the room drop below 68 degrees. Use the high setting to get up to temperature and then leave it on the low setting (which costs next to nothing to run) all day or all night. When you come into the room, if it's not warm enough, you get go up to the middle setting to whatever you like. Run this way, you can maintain a good temperature all the time without spending much for power. I don't live in a cold climate, but while it was dropping down into the low 40s at night, I would run the heater as I describe with no problem. I can't vouch for really cold areas, however.

My unit is behaving exactly as what you (and the user manual) describe. I set the thermostat temp to a comfortable 68 degrees. The unit heats up to +4, which is 72 degrees, and then it shuts off. That's great. However, as soon as my room temperature drops to 71 degrees, which is about 2 minutes later, the unit kicks back on in LOW mode. This is WAY too sensitive. When the room temperature reaches 72 degrees again, which is about 30 seconds later, the unit shuts off again. The unit cycles between 71 and 72 degrees, and therefore, turns on and off continuously every couple of minutes or so. Mind you, neither 71 nor 72 is my desired temperature. The constant clicking on/off makes this feature unusable. It is quite ironic that this feature is called Save Smart. It should be renamed "Waste Dumb" in my opinion.

Hello, any temperature 35F and below will make it automatically come on....good luck,stay warm.

No, I have a thermostat hooked in-line, so it doesn't run below 60 deg. I don't want to be cooling the space in the winter, I want the opposite, so the house stays warmer. This is an awesome unit and works really well.

I don't know what the specific temperature setting is for the thermostat is, but I am sure that it is significantly higher than 40. I sometime put it on the low setting just to keep myself comfortable. If i where to guess I would say the lowest is somewhere around 55 - 60 range, but I really don't know for sure.

The heater portion is only set to come on when the temperature drops to a certain temperature, then shut off when it warms up. IIRC, it comes on at 35 degrees and shuts off at 45, so I don't think that is what you are looking for.

Anne, I just tried to set the auto thermostat on mine while on the low heat setting and it kept flipping it back to the high heat setting...so I think the answer to your question is no. But I can vouch for this space heater. I bought mine last January and used it nightly throughout the winter. It's one of the least noisy that I came across and it can heat a small bedroom very quickly (so much so that I typically set it at a temperature and then have to go turn it down about 15-20 minutes later because it heats so well). When you use the auto thermostat setting, the unit will heat the air to about 2-3 degrees hotter than the temperature you set; then, it will shut off the fan/stop heating until the temperature of the air drops to 1 degree cooler than the temperature you set. At that time, it'll kick the fan/heat back on again. It's a great heater and I would buy another one in a heart beat if I needed an additional space heater.

Tonight the low is 27. Will this switch turn on the aquarium heater I have in my pond when the temp drops to 35 and then turn it back on only when temperature in the air returns to 45? Why not just on and off at 35? Is his to provide an extra period of warmth to get well above freezing?

Nope from my experience it turns on at the temp set. Meaning it will turn on every 10-20minutes to keep it at 68 in a drafty house or poorly insulated place.

I leave it in a smaller room than that at a lower temp. So, not sure, but I would think so. The real key with this heater is that it is SILENT and automatic. Set it and forget it!
