How would this do on a covered patio on the north side of the house with temperature sometimes at 110?

I don't think it's made to be an outdoor unit. That said, to have it outdoors for a day for a party, I think it would be fine. Kept in the shade, it would function like a cooler for the day. But I would not leave it outside after the event is over and I would not expose it to sun or any precipitation.

I don't ink it would do too well. You have to remember is is not a freezer it just makes the ice. We use it inside and it works great and always has ice. But I don't know how well it would last outside.

Have not tried that but logic seems to indicate that it might take longer and the motor life would be shortened.

I don't think it would last very long if it was directly exposed to rain and sun. It would be fine outside under a covered patio.

In my house I don't go more than 45 degrees. Only because that's how I have it set up. It will probably go much wider than that.

I expect that it would weather well, however we have ours mounted in a porch covered area. Ours looks as good as the day we bought it.

Yes it is 110 and it will cool that area - ours has worked really well in a similar size space.

The top will get hot to the touch, but nothing above with get hot or burn. There's a top shield the radiates the heat downward. If you have a covered patio you'll be fine for it. It heats up fast though. It's made for outdoor radiant heat, so if your patio is covered let it run for 5-10 minutes then shut it off. It's not a space heater, it's an outdoor patio unit

I used mine on the patio with temps in the high 80's...but only for a day. Personally I wouldn't keep it out very long in either extreme.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

The temperatures range from 220 to 420. Hope this is what you wanted to know..........

I haven't noticed it getting hot but I have cushions on the seat. It doesn't seem like it would get too hot but my patio doesn't have direct sun. The chairs seemed to be higher than typical bar height and were a little tricky getting in them. It looks great sitting on my patio hahaha

That would be a question for the manufacturer but I can tell you that I have this on my patio and was surprised that the wall and ceiling around it does not get hot - only the protective cover around the lamp gets hot

We use this outdoors, under cover on a patio and built in . We live in a warm climate....so far its fine...about a year old

We love ours. It heats the area well. We keep it between 1&2 most of the time keeping our heat at about 70 degrees. We love in northern Maine where temps have been -20 and up to -40 on a pretty regular basis and it has been extremely reliable. I haven't let the temperature get down to 45 to test that theory.

I don't personally do HVAC work (but I am landlord with rental houses, I have flipped a bunch of houses, and installed lots of HVAC, so I am often around it) and I would say this is at least adequate if not perfectly fine for HVAC work. It seems to be sensitive enough to tell the difference within half a degree between say, the cold concrete patio and the leg of patio furniture a foot above the concrete. I think you would be happy with its performance for HVAC work.

We live in California and put our tub on a concrete patio. We bought a sheet of hard foam that was about an inch thick and then put the pad that came with the tub on top of that. It pads it nicely and insulates a bit. Very comfy, just expensive to keep it heated to 100 degrees.

My unheated sun room is probably 10x12 and being unheated gets pretty cool during the winter if the patio door to the house is closed. The heater breaks the chill and keeps it pretty comfortable. Keep in mind that a 110 volt house outlet will only support 1500 watts heat and 1500 watts heat will produce but around 5000 btu's no matter what unit you buy. They are all the same amount of heat based on bti's if you check carefully. To get more btu's., one needs a 220 volt line. So, whether it is made by the Amish or someone else, 110 volts will only get you so much heat.

We use ours on an interior porch that is not heated. It seems to stay warm enough but the opening on both sides may present issues with a continuous draft? I put a polartec blanket inside that partially covers back opening. It is lighter than wooden or heavy plastic houses so wind could be a factor as far as " blowing over". I would see this working in a semi protected area ( in an open port or garage or she'd, etc) . I am pleased with the house!
