Will this heater turn itself back on automatically e.g. after a power outage? I want to use it with a Lux Programmable Outlet Thermostat. Thanks!

For prolonged power outages, it's possible that it would lose its settings. However, for brief power failure... it comes right back online when power is restored. Also, it DOES have a programable choice to set a Daylight Savings time option. It's a good thermostat... I'm happy that it was this that failed, and NOT a break in the heating elements under the tile!

Perhaps you have Lux ELV4. If so yes it will, all thermostats merely turn current on and off at selected temperature, it could turn on a light or sound a horn and turn on heater at selected temperature if so wired The ELV4 works with heating-only systems that are supplied by up to a 20 amp circuit breaker. It's universal design allows it to work with both single-pole (two-wire) and double-pole (four-wire)systems, 120/240-volt systems up to 16 amps (resistive: 1,900 watts at 120 VAC/3,800 watts at 240 VAC), and line voltage (120/240-volt) The PlF2004 240volt heater draws 8 amps, two 16 amps.

I am not aware of any feature that would automatically shut it off or turn it on. I have the unit in my garage and when it gets to be a nice temperature, I unplug it. When it gets cool I again plug it in. So if you are wanting more of an automatic unit I don't think this will do it at least that I am aware of. When I plug it in there is a button you have to push manually to iniate the ignition of the burner.

it has an overheat protection circuit built in inside regulator box. when there is a surge which causes heat, it cut off power automatically. after the problem is removed, temp is down, it will be back on working.

It will immediately turn off. It will even turn off it I touch my surge protector that it's plugged into. I love my heater.

Actually I did not pay attention if it automatically switch off once reached the chosen temperature, but it has thermostat. I will see in the next days if it stops or it keep on heating. I can say it is a nice and very good quality item.

Not sure. I haven't used that feature. But I'm guessing it is used to set when the heater need to turn off not on. I'll let you know on my next post

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

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.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

Buy the recommended thermostat. It will automatically turn on and off as needed. If you don't then yes it will run whenever light is present. It will run when it's partly cloudy. You can also wire in a thermostat and set the temperature for what you want. I didn't and mine works great. Highly recommend it. I think the thermostat is 12 bucks. Buy it I did and don't regret it. Have a great day.

My problem is If turn OFF the light is turn OFF, but heater is still ON, If you turn ON the heater the light is ON but heater is not ON not heating, sometimes when its ON and Its heating the thermostat numbers moves backward, from 90,85,80,75,and my room temp.showing 90degree Its funny ... I called Mickey Mouse Honeywell Heater, Ha,Ha,Ha, My Heater is just 2 months old, My Heater too make metal bending noise, I have to plug and unplug my heater every time from the wall socket to turn On and turn OFF ...to me Its a dangerous heater !!

I think I recall seeing that also. But the thermostat is totally digital. I'm not sure if has pilot light I'm not home or I would take a look. I don't recall lighting one and it does everything automatically. I just set the temperature and forget it. This is a great heater.

No, it doesn't........and the first time you have to turn it on after power outage or being unplugged is by the button on the front of the heater itself, then the remote will work.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....
