Does anyone run these heaters when you are not home?My sister lives in country and always turns off her heaters when she leaves.

Never turn mine off once it is cold enough to turn on... but it is on a large room, and only puts a small dent in the chill.

I do not run my heaters when I am not home. It's not that they are not safe but they are electric and electricity costs money and if I am not home to benefit from the heaters, why keep them on. If they were your only source of heat, then leave them on. I have had my heaters for about a year now and they work great as substitute heat for my kids rooms and I only turn them on at night and off in the morning.

I heat my 12'x24' studio apartment with four panels day and night. They are thermostat controlled with optional wall mounted thermostats and keep it very comfortable. I turn them off with the thermostat for the summer. Very comfortable. Only issue is air stratification at night which is easily eliminated with a small floor fan pointed straight up.

I run my heater all the time. It's also possible to use a thermostat with these heaters.

I wouldn't turn on any heaters under the bed, things can get real hot and may start a fire.

I absolutely love this little heater! My electric bill dropped from $150 to $50. Yes mine turns off and on sometimes quickly but it is producing heat. I changed the mode around and back. It got better. I would contact them and ask what can be done if it persists.

Hi Carol: I would say that you would have to turn the heater back on but I'm not sure because I have not been in a power outage since I have owned it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We have ours in southern Pennsylvania and let it run non stop all winter long. Some of the winter we had our pond heater plugged in but for most (and -20 windchill nights) we went without the heater. It's solidly built so you should be fine if you just let it run

Contrary to what others have answered, the fan runs continuously on the 2 units I own. It doesn't matter if the heat bulbs are on or not, and it doesn't matter if the room has warmed up to the selected temperature. I'm not sure if mine are defective or if mine are older models without a fan shut off feature. I bought them from family farm and home in late 2013. The continuously running fan is one feature that I do NOT like about these units.

I have both of them in one room and on 1 breaker. They heat much better than any ceramic heater I have ever owned and they do not use as much electricity as the other people have said. They do use power, but what do you expect when it is 5 degrees outside?

For sure. Just to remind you all, I still love this thing. I thought the heater broke a few months ago, but she worked through it and runs like the first day I got her.

I have this heater. Actually 2 of them. I loved it when I was using it. Did a fantastic job of heating my home. The one and ONLY reason I stopped using it is because the cost of kerosene has really skyrocketed since last year, plus it's extremely hard to find it here now. But I am considering biting the dust and getting some for these days that are record-breakingly low this year. The main thing you have to remember with the 2304 DH is to keep it a minimum of 4-6 feet from anything around it. If you have pets, don't worry. Most animals (I have 2 dogs and a cat) learn to get close to it to get warm and to scootch away as they warm up. I've never once had a problem with my pets getting burned. Also, I never leave mine running all night or when I'm not home. And of course, don't ever place anything on top of it. Also of course, don't use anything but K-1 kerosene in it. As long as you use common sense, you won't have a problem and will be just as satisfied with yours as I am with mine.

I'm not able to answer your question. I'm still using factory settings. My power has gone out and the pump continues to run. So I would guess that if you were away from home, the pump would continue to run. Just maybe not at the settings you prefer. Just a guess. Give Hatward a call.

Well Ms. Linda C. I dont know what to tell you because I have been using my heater for three years now and I dont have the slightest problem with it. My heater works very well for me. B.K.Delley

They can be off. remember the thermometer built into the heater is close the floor and the wall thermometer is higher on the wall. there can be a change in temp. set the heater a degree at a time until it turns off and you can find out what you want to set it at. also these are cheap china heaters the thermometer is most likely off anyway.

Buy a good heater next time. The one I bought lasted about one year. I heard a lot of stories about these heaters and not good stories either.

I did not have this experience. I would not use them. Could be faulty heating coils. I wouldn't risk using them.

Mine keep steaming until the tank runs out. I do unplug as soon as I finish so maybe that is why I do not keep going.

I have run the heater all night. Once the temperature is set it will go on and off by itself. In fact I think I have just left it only for several days at a time. You just need to make sure you clean the filter once in a while to help the air flow. Hope this helps.

Fantastic little heater. I have used them for several years now. It is still warm here in LA and I cannot remember if the outside gets hot? If it does I would be surprised as I never noticed it.
