Does the unit have a backup heat strip

From what I read it does not. The folks at High Seer should be able to tell you for sure.

Yes it does but you can buy additional wicks as backup. We use our heater aboard a boat and have been quite pleased with it.

Yes it does but this unit is really terrible. Not saying just this particular unit but this entire type of stand up unit. Lets off more heat than cool air. Takes up a lot of space since you need to vent it out the window. Don't buy unless u must

To my knowledge this unit does not. It only eliminates needing to switch from heat to AC. It is very accurate at monitoring temps.

No but it does get slightly warm on the back so I used the wall spacers at the bottom to keep it from actually touching the wall. They are included with the heater.

No it doesn't come with it but you can buy one and install it. I don't have one and it heats my house just fine.

The heat sink that it comes with has a thermal patch pre-applied to it. If you plan to use another heat sink you will need to supply the thermal paste if your heat sink does not come with it.

no,it has a fan that has to cool down the unit after you shut it off.this unit does provide the best heat of all "salamander type" heaters

Heat strips?? Like on an RV a/c unit? These units actually are heat pumps, even the 120vac unit. Several times already this winter ive turned on the heat side just to get the room a little warmer and it works great. You dont need to buy any extra equipment to use the heater.

Does not require battery backup. Works only on power that is delivered to the heater.If power goes down to your heating, then battery backup would not do any good anyway.Works very well in this manner.

Yesit does.Both were included with my unit.Long enough wjring to mount the unit anywhere on a car dash or bike. The unit is so sensitive that you can tell when the thermostat opens and closes.I love mine.

yes it does, however i only had mine for like 6 months and it has over heated and died.

No it does not but most of these do not. We have an office of some 200 people and it gets used hard for reheats. No issues so far with overall heating.

yes, battery is for backup only, good thermostat i had old model last for 15 years just replace newer model because i just installed central air, works graet

Ours came with the option of heating or cooling, so I'm assuming it has a heat strip inside, installed at the factory. We are, incidentally, very pleased with it as of now.

Yes. We have 2 units that the heating element went out. You might be better to shop around some more.

Yes it does. I've had mine installed for about 9 months now and it has worked flawlessly. Installation and setting up the wifi was a snap. As for another answer saying the temp sensor is erratic....I've not had that experience with mine at all. You can program the temp differential (how far the actual temp can vary from the set temp before the stat responds) so maybe that user has it set to too broad a range, I don't know or maybe just a faulty stat. Mine is set at a 2 degree range and works great. I use it on a Geothermal Heat/AC/DHW System and it actually handles the heat pump better than the stat that came with the unit.
