What is the temp range of the thermostat? I want to use this to maintain about 50 degrees F in my basement.

We have the thermostat regulated ( by trial and error ) to maintain 40* in an unfinished basement . Works very well . Need 220v and a 20 amp double pole breaker.

The control isn't calibrated in temperature, only 1 - 10. The temperature it holds at any given setting will depend on several factors like outside temperature, leakage rate of any air infiltration into your space, starting temperature, thermal mass of the objects in your space, etc. I will say that for such a little heater, it ROCKS. I use it in my double car, insulated garage (no cars inside, only tools & stuff). This morning it was around 5F outside (30 in the garage) and it took about 20 minutes to heat the entire space to a tolerable 60 degrees. When the space gets to a temperature I like, I just turn down the control knob until it just shuts off and it'll more or less hold at about that temp. It has a rattle that I need to find and fix but overall I'm very happy with this heater. I'd considered a gas forced air unit but thought I'd try this before I went to all the trouble and am glad I did.

Dimplex can't anticipate the size of the space being heated, so there it no temperature range on the thermostat. However, it's a powerful little heater, and I would think that it would easily maintain the kind of temperatures you need.

There is no scale on the thermostat. You would have to use trial and error to get it to maintain a prescribed temperature, that is, put a thermometer some distance away from the heater and keep adjusting the heater thermostat until you get it to maintain the desired temperature.

I use my thermostat to control the cooling range on an iceless cooler. Fiddling with the thermostat I have noted that it can go as low as minus 58 to well over 200 degrees F. The temperature settings are manually set.

I use my Procom gas heater to heat an attached sun room measuring20'x15' During the heating season, the room is a comfortable 68 degrees with the thermostat dial set between 2 and 3. Depending on the area of your basement, and whether it is totally below ground, a low setting on the thermostat dial would meet your needs. I would call Procom's technical support, if you need a more precise answer.

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

I think it's going to depend on how cold your winter gets. I don't know if it has any guidelines about temperature (it's at my grandkids' house) - but I would expect that the material might become brittle below 40 degrees. I doubt it would be wise to set it up below 50 degrees. Please note that this is conjecture only. I know that my daughter has set it up in the garage several times during the "colder" months in Virginia.

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

I run mine at 64°. Never tried going below that. What do the manufacturer's specs say?

I'd say close to 120 degrees. But I don't recommend this fan to anyone. I downgraded my rating of this product after I'd used it for a couple of months. It works as a fan. That's about the only good thing I can say about it. It's currently in my basement.

Mine regulates the water temperature near the heater to 50°F for ambient temperatures between 29 and 50°F. In that range the thermostat opens and closes to provide the average power needed to hold the temperature to 50°F. When the air temperature and/or sun raise the water temperature above 50°F the thermostat is continuously off.

Thought I saw 50 degrees in the instructions manual! Works fine in my basement so am satisfied.

About half way keeps my pump house at 45-50 degrees depending on the temp outside. Sub zero temps keep it a bit cooler inside, so I set it higher when I know the temp will drop low. My pump house is insulated well.

The heater control is not intended to be a thermostat that will keep an area temperature no lower than a setting. It keeps the heater no colder than a setting so my heater came on briefly when the temperature was 25F. It didn't significantly heat the area. I would not trust this heater to keep an area from going below freezing, The outside temperature plays a major role in the temperature that this or similar heaters heat an area. By experement you could find a setting that would keep an area at 40F but if the outside temp. took a dive the inside temp will also go down but not as much. If you need to freeze protect an area plug your heater into a Farm Innovators TC-3. Find one on Amazon. It kicks on at 35F

I live in Minnesota and use this to help heat a small basement apartment. Without it the temp is about 54 degrees, (outside temps -0) with it, the apartment heats to around 70. I am very very happy with my Duraflame!

I am in FL and can not access my manual, but I have mine set at 48 and it will go lower. Can not recall if an external thermostat can be used.

I have not used it outdoors in cold weather. My basement area does get down to 36 degrees or so and there has been no problem at that temperature.

The thermostat can be adjusted in 2° increments from 0° to 50° Fahrenheit (-18° to 10° Celsius). It will freeze stuff.Source: http://clients2.kaigan.se/dometic/1fd3b109321e7d1a99dd4cb213d3abb8.pdf

Are you asking what the temps were indoors and outdoors when I had it running? If so, this summer our indoor temp ran roughly around 80 upstairs, and in the basement it was always at least 10 degrees lower.
