If the power goes out does the thermostat have to be reset?

The one time that I have lost power since I got this I had to reset the thermostat.

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.

I am not sure, but I think not. I disconnect the power source nightly. So many space heaters cause home fires. I usually do no set it at all. I just turn it on. Why don't you call Honeywell?

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

If you have a power failure, it must be turned on again when re-powerig-up your computer. For a simple shut-down or restart, you needn't do a thing.

Yes, plugged into outlet. You could plug into some thermostat controlled power outlet, but it does not have one supplied with basic part.

I cannot say for sure but I think that anytime the power is lost the units would shut off and would manually have to be turned on. To be sure I would call Manufacturer Sorry I couldn't help.

Right away, should not have to take breaker out. If it does not reset you have a short somewhere. (Heater) ???

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored

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.

You will need an electrician to run power to it from the thermostat. Mine was a replacement, so I installed it myself using the existing power line.

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!

You lose access to view the thermostat. We lose power often at our vacation home but it does not affect the heat anymore or less than with an old style thermostat because the furnace would not work either way.

I believe the concept of "reset" after a power outage means just turning the dial to align with the current time -- just as you would do with any electro-mechanical timer. You may need to do this at a time of day when none of the little slider switches has the timer in the on position, which is likely explained in the product literature.

If there is a power-outage, Yes. If you trip a circuit breaker/blow a fuse, no. If the plug's circuit breaker has been tripped then you'll need to reset the plug manually, like any other circuit breaker.

Yes it does reset once the power comes back on. However there is no indication the power went out, even briefly which would be nice to know. But still it addresses the issue we had - the GFI tripping and we didn't notice it until we go in the garage for something.
