Can this item be programmed to call only if the temp reaches below freezing, instead of the listed 45 degree temp?

I believe that is the only limit available. The idea is to give you fair warning above freezing. Spend more and you get more features.

I initially was not sure but on review this cannot be changed. This was really designed to warn you if the temperature in the house/room drops below a certain point giving you a chance to remedy the situation. There are other alarms that will allow you to do this but they are more expensive.

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.

When it gets to a certain temperature in the house/apt you can press hold and it will hold that temperature instead of the preprogrammed temperatures. It still will never hold higher or lower then your preprogrammed limits. If you set limits.

Yes you can. As the temp approaches it starts letting you know "it's almost done". The trouble is the thing says it way too often and it's highly annoying.

Yes, you can. There are instructions with the device that will make it very easy to call it and check on the settings. You will need a landline phone to set up the freeze alarm. I set mine so that I call home, let the phone ring three times, then hang up. I then call again and the freeze alarm will answer after two rings to give me the status of my home temperature and the strength of the battery backup. The device is very reliable in my experience. It has saved me from freeze damage at least once a year. It calls me and alerts me to cold temperature in the house(the pilot light on the boiler had gone out) and then it called a neighbor, who was able to restart the boiler and keep things safe.

I don't believe so. I bought this to use in apartment buildings, and one of the failings of this unit is that, while I can set the max temp to 70 degrees, the tenant can simply put the thermostat in a permanent hold 24/7 at 70 where the temp never kicks back down until taken out of permanent hold. Kind of defeats the purpose, IMO. I'm looking for a stat with a lockout code, which Braeburn makes but is more expensive than this unit.

No.(I have an alarm system) The freeze alarm just dials out the prerecorded message when it drops below the default temp. If you shut down your house for the winter and go on the seasonal plan with your phone company or cable co. (get incoming calls but no out going ones) neither the freeze alarm or the security system will work. If you tell them you have an alarm system they will usually allow the outgoing calls at the seasonal rate.It is usually a good idea to test the the freeze alarm by putting outside the window on a cold day . i can't say enough good things about this product. It's not that expensive and works well. hope this helps. No.(I have an alarm system) The freeze alarm just dials out the prerecorded message when it drops below the default temp.

Short answer is NO. The lowest setting is 45 degrees. If you have to have a 33 degree control, you can buy an industrial type thermostat.

I would say No...it has a "thermostat" dial, and in our large garage it keeps it at 45 degrees at the lowest setting during the winter. The first on e I bought would not cycle on and off , so make sure its working like it should.

Yes you can. It's 100% logical. You set it, the temp stays until you change it.

It will go down to 33 degrees. Set it to 50 and it will turn on when the temp goes below 50.

When it freezes below about 20 you have to drain it to protect the coils. That said, you may start the water and fire it up when it is below freezing, just remember to drain it once it cools off.... Our unit works on a single handle application, it just has to be set at a lower temp.

No, it is designed to turn on heat at 35 degrees and off once it reaches 45 degrees. We use it in our well house to prevent the pipes from freezing in the winter and it works quite well.

You cannot do so. You can look up the range of numbers on Google and just put a stickum on your remote, like 24°C = 75*F.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

No, I just tried and the lowest temperature it can be set to is 55 deg F. I read that this is to prevent damage to certain heating equipment.

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you are not placing the contact sensor inside of the freezer. Some sensors will malfunction at extreme temperatures.
