If you're asking if it can be operated using a remote control, it comes with one and as long as the two are in the line of sight the answer is YES. The Lasco remote works great by the way. If you're asking if it can be controlled from a remote location, the answer is NO. Although it has a programmable thermostat, a 8 hour shut down timer, and the tip over safety switch, it cannot be controlled using a computer/wireless based home automation system, or even something as simple as a timer. This is why it won't work from a remote location. After the heater is turned off it enters a standby mode by default and DOES NOT/WILL NOT retain your previous temp and timer settings. To restart the heater you have to do it manually using either the buttons on the front panel or the heaters remote control. You also have to reset your desired temp/timer settings. That's every time you use it and the only way it can be fired back up. This is an excellent piece of equipment and I wouldn't trade mine for two of any other brand. The only fault is that in the event of a power outage it reverts to the default standby mode instead of picking up where it left off and continuing to put out heat. Only happened once, but the chill made a lasting impression.

You can do this manually from the touch screen. Might also be able to program one of the periods to just fan without heat or cool but have not tried.

What everyone else has told you here is true. The only thing I would add is that you may want to play w/ the time in order to fine tune it. I have an 80gal. tank, & have it come on for 1.5hrs in the morning about 6am & again at 6pm. This satisfies all our needs for the day. If you have a cheaper rate at night, time it to come on for the amount of time you determine so that it goes off at the time the rate does too. If the heater is satisfied before the time is up, it won't be on anyway...Remember to reset the clock after a noticeable power outage however!!!

Any size room. I have one in my living room, it's large and I have one in my master bedroom the heat blows all over, I don't leave it on to long because it get really hot in here.mthe remote comes in handly a lot. Sometimes I have to run my fan because it gets to hot. But you will love the heater, just sit it in the corner of your room. I only payed 63.00 a few years ago when they first came out from SAMs club. The other one I bought from Amazon

You can program some of these heaters to run a certain amount of hours but to come on at a certain time, no. But click on this amazon product and you can program it. I have 3 of them and they work great. Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat - Programmable Household Thermostats - A.webarchive

I would go on line to the company and ask for one. The remote that mine came with only worked for a couple of weeks then it quit. I tossed it out and we just use the switches. Turn on the back power button first then push the front power button to on, then set your temp. Make sure your electrical circuit is large enough to handle this unit. It should have its own plug and heavy duty circuit. If the cord gets warm after using it for a while, your circuit is not heavy enough.

This model I bought 2 yrs ago has a very good electronic thermostat. It will reset automatically each time it's turned off-on to 75 degrees (which is too high in my opinion). But you can set it easily to a desired temp.Dimensions about 42" long, 8" high, and 4" wide and I place it about 3" away from the wall.

The heater is made to use under a desk where it would be in close contact. It would not put out enough heat for a room.

Put on level surface. It has a switch on the bottom that will automatically turn it off if it falls over, but also won't turn it on if it's not level. Second turn on I or II depending on how much heat you want. II is more. Next turn the temperature knob up until it kicks on. Or down until it clicks off and then up just till it is on again. Still cold in 10 minutes? Turn it up more. It will cycle on and off. This is normal so that it doesn't over heat.

Dear Dan, I hope i have caught you in time since my answer. I work out of town and just got home and checked my heater again and did not even realize it does have an automatic shut off. You can run it for 1 hr and 4 hrs and something in between. Sorry for the incorrect information.

This heater does not have that functionality. Instead you could buy a separate timer which costs just about $10.00 and set whatever time you need. Hope this helps.

Hi Eric, so far my remote is keeping itself together. My disappointment with the remote, and the heater itself, is that it doesn't remember how I had it set up. If I am in bed and wish to use the remote, I have to get out of bed to go to the machine and set it up again. I can't read the display from my bed! I am not enjoying this single button control on the heater--I am clicking and advancing and clicking for a long time before it is where I want it. I've never been able to do the correct clicking to engage the timer

Stay hot until blue light auto shuts off. Not sure how long that is but at least 30-60 mins

The heat coils and fan will turn off when the room reaches the desired temp. There is also a fan-only setting that will run if you just need a fan.

I have not left it on if I am gone, however the heat element does turn on and off automatically according to whatthe thermostat is set for. I think you would probably be ok.

I run it for weeks, it has a temp control so when my room gets to that temp it will turn off so it is not on all the time. Great Heater
