Will this work indoors to take the chill out of my foyer?

Although it is a low voltage, it should be used outdoors (on pavement). You really feel the heat when you step on the mat, it is not enough to warm a foyer. When I purchased my first mat (I have 4), I opened the box, unrolled the mat, and plugged in...while placed on my light wood floors. I forgot it was plugged in (maybe 2 hours), checked to make sure the mat was warm. When I picked up the mat, my floors were discolored the size of the mat. Not significant, but enough so I will never do that again! Again, that was my mistake as I just wanted to warm the mat to make sure it was working and planned to unplug immediately.

I don't know. It might be expensive because the electricity would be on constantly. Also, I think there are HeatTrak mats with thermostats that turn off the mat when a certain temperature is reached. This would be more cost effective. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer to see if this is a possibility.

The instructions say to use it outside but if the foyer is tile it should be ok. Do not put it on any soft surface or carpet. The rubber backing may melt. Bear in mind this is only a 36" mat but the mat itself will be warm and it may even warm up a couple of inches of the floor around it too.

The instructions say it is for outdoor use only. I doubt this would be a good use for the mat as the mat is just warm enough to melt snow. That probably isn't a high enough temperature to warm a foyer.

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

Probably. I will say however that it doesnt air condition your porch. It just takes the edge off of those muggy summer nights. It has to be refilled with ice pretty regularly to function. I think the fan portion of the unit helps more than the actual cooling.

the fan is not super strong, but you can feel it blowing if you stand in front of the unit. You will be able to direct it but it should make your entire bathroom quite warm if the door is closed. I have an energy efficient home and when the finance failed during the polar freeze last year, three of these units kept my 1500 square foot home at 70 degrees without issues. good luck.

It doesn't reduce the temperature in the room. However, it provides great air flow and makes the room feel cooler.

Depends on the air in the room. It circulates air, which will make it feel cooler on warm days, but chillier on cool days. It's a fan, not an air conditioner.

Yes. As well as I use ceiling fans. I have an old home with a lot of walls and it cools the entire downstairs.

Yes it would. That is precisely what dehumidifiers are designed to do. By lowering the moisture content in the air, you would also be able to set the ac temperature higher and still be comfortable.

Not really. Tried it with a very very slight breeze and it was not strong enough to control. Really designed for a larger indoor area.

This unit was purchased for use in a basement so it would be difficult to compare to indoor use. Sorry

I doubt it it sounds like you need an air conditioner if it's "very hot". If you had some cross ventilation it might help, but even with two windows a fan isn't the answer in really hot weather.

If it's a couple feet away from curtains you should be ok. I meant that in an enclosed area it gets the ambient temperature hot. Air circulation and heat are always the issues inside. If heat is a concern then go led and or ad fans.

I would not suggest it. This unit needs full airflow all around it. I have mine in a cabinet space with ample air circulation, but it died after a year. You need to find one that is actually "under counter installation" approved.

We use it as a secondary heat source. It takes the chill out of a small room.

Try placing the fan in the doorway of the room with the air conditioner in it. Blow air across the hall into the bedroom. Set the speed of the fan on a medium setting, it will be quieter but still move enough cooler air to help a little. Remember, blowing cooler air into dead hot space will not do much good unless you have circulation in the bedroom. Maybe opening a window an inch or two will give you enough flow. Keep in mind you won't make it cold enough to hang meat in there, but maybe reduce the temperature a few degrees.

I would say no with normally insulated house. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet this fan is. My only disappointment is that I didn't buy a larger size. My shop is 16x20 and this fan has a hard time keeping up with a thermostat set at 85 degrees.

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.
