What is the lowest themostat temperature setting? I would like a unit to back up my furnace while we are away.

I believe it goes down to 32, but don't know why anyone would want it set that low. I still love mine by the way. It certainly saves money as our other source of energy is propane, which is more expensive.

Hi,The lowest temp setting is 39 degrees the highest is 90. I love these heaters and have 2. They are less expensive than running my furnace.

I own one of these, and can't answer this question with technical accuracy. I can however answer it with experience. In sub zero temps outside, the inducer motor on my furnace failed the other day. I had to kill power to the furnace for 4 or 5 hours while I found a replacement part and installed it. The unit is completely powered by the furnace so it was without power the entire time. The thermostat was not an issue. It had been without power for at least 4 hours and once power was restored it still retained the router settings and I did not have to reprogram it. I believe all the settings are stored on the Website and all the thermostat needs to retain is the Router setup. It appears to store the router info in the BIOS. Hope this helps. I have only used this for a couple months, but so far it is perfect.

It should be set the same as the top thermostat. They come set at 120 from the factory which is usually not hot enough for most. Should be around 130-140 degrees.

The minimum temperature setting is 40. You can also set the thermostat to off for the away setting.

I have it at the lowest setting. I heat a small space which has thick 4" foam insulation (my pump house is about 4' x 4' x 4'). The thermometer usually reads about 60° F. A little warmer than I need, but acceptable. The lowest setting is supposed to come on at 35° F. I also have a second heater for back up.

I keep my thermostat control knob set at 2. Temperature is 68°.Turning thermostat down will lower temperature More. Never had need to. Room size is 3348 square feet.

The temp range is maybe 70F-140F degrees on the thermostat ... There is NO an on/off setting.This unit is in my attic and I haven't been up there in a while-- so those temp ranges are just a guess. Thanks!

You can use the thermostat on the low setting, but the automatic shutoff and turn on will not work as described in the instruction booklet.

There is no "off" setting. The lowest temperature setting is 40. It will turn off when the power to the furnace is turned off.

I set mine on a desk in the front room - where the thermostat is located. On the low setting, it is able to keep the room temp around the thermostat high enough so the furnace doesn't come on all the time. This little heater doesn't get hot enough (even on High) to set anything on fire.

113 degrees is the lowest I could set. The temperature indicator may start at 78, since that is what it indicates the temp is at power on, and I think the room is colder.

with the th115-a-120s thermostats set it and forget it. i have never run one in my home witout the 115. 4 units /th115 code where i live. i have 10 units. i think they are cheaper to run than go thermmo. 1000sq ft. home for about 8 yrs.

As far as I know you can set the temp to what ever you want. I have only set my unit to 50, but never tried setting any lower.

Not a full answer: I estimate the maximum temperature at which the unit turns off one the thermostat is set at maximum to be around 80, perhaps 85.

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.
