Does this product work in a higher altitude?

Not above 4000 feet it doesn't... I read that in someones review but it is not noted in the instructions that come with the unit.

I've installed, used and owned Rinnai heaters in my area for the past 20 years. We're at 6,400 ft. I have done intstallations up to 7,400 ft with no issues from altitude.

Thanks for all the answers. I have discovered from the manufacturer that this heater will not operate at altitudes above 4500 feet. I'm at 6500 feet. I'm surprised that this fact isn't emphasized in the product description. Looking for another heater.

As in any gas appliance the higher the altitude( like Denver) the slower it will work.

I don't know if this works for you, but I read the previous model doesn't work fine with high levels above the sea. Max 300 meters above the sea.

Im not sure but my dog got about 50ft ahead of me and it worked. It should say somewhere on the company website.

We used the altimeter on a water rocket and it was very accurate for altitude but it landed on a level field so there wasn't data for if it had dropped lower than it's launch height.

Yes it should. I have a 25 feet round above ground and the unit works perfectly.

I have used this heater at approximately 8,000 feet. You should ask the manufacture of the elevation limits.

who cares, the pyle is crap. altitude is always wrong. basically i can tell you my current altitude within 500 feet without the pyle device!

For altitudes over 6000 feet the manual says to contact their Technical Services Department at 1‐877‐737‐2840. From 0 to 6000 feet there are various switch settings indicated in the manual.

Yes, it just get's it over air waves. The higher your elevation the better reception, but really it works just like the chart shows on what channels you can get for tv. We searched google to find tv antenna reception for our area to see what channels we should be able to pick up. This did very well at picking up the ones we were in range of. Still using it and happy to not be paying for cable.

I contacted the manufacturer who told me that these heaters do not work for elevations above 4500 feet. I'm surprised this isn't explained in the product description. Pretty important information, I think. Thanks everyone for all your helpful answers. I'm looking for another heating solution. Hard to beat this little heater!

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made.The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.

No, but the heater may be installed at any altitude up to 10,100 ft above sea level, provided the appropriate modification(s) are performed. The altitudes which require modification vary depending on the model. Parts necessary to convert the heater for outdoor installation at altitudes up to 7,700 ft (minimum) are included with the heater. Conversion is accomplished by replacement of the blower air inlet plate, and for indoor ap- plications, installation of a special vent pressure switch. The blower air inlet plates are clearly marked with the compatible heater model(s), vent configuration(s), and altitude range(s).

Yes, I believe it will. Ours works great, keeps it hot. I have no cons on this machine.However I don't know how elevation affects it
