How Does the heat part work on this unit?

The temp. is programmed on the remote control and the unit automatically cycles on/off to maintain the desired temperature.

I had a couple of friends staying in the attic room the heater is in and they said they were comfortable, so I guess it works well. (If you are asking how it works technically - I don't know.)

Entire unit gets plugged in. Both cool and heat setting work on simply changing switches to whatever preferences you'd like.

have not noticed any heat given off by the unit, it is very quiet and well worth the money

Hi Erin, the unit measures the temperature of the surfaces it 'sees'. If you cannot actually see the heater, I suggest you take comparative readings of a surface that will warm when the heater is on and cool when it is off. This will give you a base for future readings to determine whether the heater is working or not. I hope this is of assistance. Cheers, Ken

It has a multiple position switch which controls the amount of heat it generates. Works very well.

this heater works by convection cold air from the floor gets pulled in the bottom of the heater the heating element heats the air the heated air flows out of the top of the heater...no fan is necessary.

From my recollection it gets warm but not hot. The heater blows out the bottom of the unit.

We have not had any problems with the unit and it does not get HOT on the outside, only warm to the touch. We however are not the manufactorers and they might have a differing opinion.

All protable heaters will get hot, they produce HEAT. This is cool to the touch and only heats up from the front and does a good job. My pets have no trouble around it. If I had a crawling baby, I would hang this unit on a wall also. I also have DeLonghi oil filled radiator DeLonghi TRH0715 Safeheat. It has a metal cover over the main unit. This produces more heat upward and is only warm to the touch. Without the cover they are hot to the touch. About $20.00 more, but worth it.

Yes, all of the heater is cool to the touch if it is running as it is now. I touched it everywhere and felt no heat.

The unit itself does not get hot. The front grate where heat it dispensed obviously gets warm. As far as the noise goes, the fan is not terribly loud, although I tend to run mine when I first go to bed and like the white noise. Overall I absolutely love this little thing! Highly recommend it!

This unit turns on based on water flow. It adjust the amount of heat from the burner based on the water flow that is passing through the unit. If I only turn on one tape the rate of burn is much lower than if I have three taps flowing.

nothing to noticeable, to be honest. we also have a heat bulb we can put in if cold, which reminds me I should put it in, lol. unit works pretty good for us.

Not sure...I am not an AC guy...I just connected the wires and turned it on...If if helps, one of our units is a gas pack. Heat and AC in one unit. Works fine..

I NEVER use the heat. Because the longer you use it, the more warm the device becomes. But yes, there is a heat element.

I'm not sure what a 2 stage heat and AC unit is exactly. I have this on a system that contains a furnace and an AC unit. The system is zoned forced air and this one is for one zone of the system. The other zone is controlled via a wired device.

yes, on the power level side of the controls, there is off, then fan, then 1 for low power heat, and 2 for high power heat. If you turn it to fan, you do not get heat. Just fan.

In this case, there's only one interior unit (didn't know it could share units). It works as advertised when cooling. Heating mode can't be tested until later in the year.
