Can it be set very low and only come on at 42 degrees and go off after reaching low setting?

I use one to keep the well house (insulated) above freezing. The 42 degree trigger turns the device on and it floats to abut 48 when switch is set at 1. Another good use would include setting up in front of opened cabinet doors to sink plumbing against an outside wall.

I believe these are so cost effective to use, that it would , but why risk any pipes freezing if the cold happened to fast? I would get them, and test themm out to see if they do what you want. I have a garage that i transformed into my master bed room, 2 1/2 car size and they do what we need, we also have the furnace on but it doesn't really blow that strong in there, but were cozy. just make sure you hear the click when you turn it on, the oil needs to heat up. there is no smell at all, my cats lay by it, even if I say no

The thermostat in this heater has settings of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 - not specific temperatures. I don't know what temperature it would try to hold if it was set for 1, but 42 degrees doesn't seem like a setting that would be useful to most consumers, so I doubt that the DeLonghi's thermostat goes that low. On the other hand, it would certainly be possible to turn the DeLonghi's dial to its highest setting and then plug it into a separate thermostat that would turn the whole heater on and off at any specified temperature. An appropriate thermostat would be one that can handle 110 volts, which most household wall thermostats cannot, although the $18 "AGPtek Digital All-purpose Temperature Controller STC-1000 w/Sensor" sold here on Amazon could be configured to work. Of course, if you can find a space heater with a built-in thermostat that can be set to 42 degrees, that would be simpler and probably cheaper than trying to contrive a separate thermostat.

There is no "off" setting. The lowest temperature setting is 40. It will turn off when the power to the furnace is turned off.

Yes it will, when the temp drops -1 below your setting, the heater is turned on. The heater is designed to turn off when the temp. touches 2 degrees above the setting.

It has a thermostat so it will automatically come on when the temp goes below 34 and shut off above that. Mine is working well as it has been below 25 here since I got it.

Hi, Yes. You can. You can set a temperature and it will functions till the surrounding temp reaches 2 degrees above that set temperature and it will stop. Once the surrounding temp comes back below the set temp, it will start once again. Eg: You can set at 70, it will function till it reaches 72/73, then it stops automatically. When the temp goes back to 69, then it starts automatically once again and works till it reaches 72/73 and it stops. This cycle continues. What I have seen is that is the outside temp is very low like 30s...... it takes a lot of time to reach 70s.

It is a low medium high type of deal. I think it will go down to 50 degrees just fine but you'll have to figure out where the thermostat had to be set. With dial set on low ours keeps the temp at about 60 wish. Its not very precise.

Yes, temperature settings are in 1 degree increments, so you can set it at 72. Also the timer option goes from 0 hr - 8 hr in 1 hr increments as well.

Not sure, but rather than turn it off I set it at 40; so it can go at least that low. Not sure you'd want it any lower because the pipes would freeze!

The dial on this tool is like that of a dimmer switch dial. It goes from off to up to 950 degrees and anywhere in between, depending on where you turn the dial. It does not have fixed settings for low, medium, high, etc.

I'm not real sure you can set it at a particular degree and leave it. I think It needs to be switched to cool or heat. There isn't an auto option on modes, only for the fan. You may want to check with them directly, as I've only had it for about week. Hope this helps....

Yes. You can set it at 72 and leave it at 72. Or any other temp for that matter. This is a very good unit quiet, and energy efficient. It is our second one. The other lasted 20 years.

No! TC-3 is on at 35 and off at 45 degrees...but there are others that will function as you need. YOu must make sure you get the correct one.

It's not like a "normal" thermostat that will turn on when the temp is too low and turn off when it's high enough. This one will turn on when the temp's too high and turn off when it's low enough. That's the temperature you set (hence, turn off temperature).

Since they do not use degrees as a measurement on the dial you can only set for low which in most of these heaters is around 50 degrees. They will vary between them and the manufacturers will not guarantee any setting. They just expect you to find an adequate setting for your needs. The difference in operation time from 40 to 50 degrees is negligible in my estimation so just using the lowest setting no matter the temp should be adequate for most situations. Hope this helps.

I do not believe that you can. This model only has the temperature settings which go from off to the very highest setting. I do love it regardless.

Mine has 3 setting plus off. It nice. I set it on the lowest setting at night. It works perfect for me.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.
