how well does it heat in winter in a cold climate ?

I live In No. Utah, It has been working great since I installed it, March 2014, I am in a Manufactured Home which has an outside access door that was vented so I sealed and insulated the door and cut a vent thru the inside wall, also I put a light under it for a little more heat on cold days (I turn it off on warmer days), the average tempura here November thru February can get down to -10 to -20. This is My 3rd tank less water heater, the 1st was a Bosch gas and lasted 5 yrs. Until the sediment in the water plugged the igniter and Bosch would not even talk to Me about parts or repairs, the 2nd was an electric brought Sears, it lasted 11 months when I called them they said it was under warranty and sent a guy to look at he said he had never seen one and didn't know anything about them and since the Electrician that installed it didn't work for sears that it wasn't under warranty, So I did a lot of research on this one and have been very happy so far, also I did install a water filter in the line before the heater to catch the sediment. Hope this helps You.

BTU's are BTU's. It doesn't matter what the outside temperature is. I live in the desert in SoCal. It gets pretty cold in the winter at least to me. Freezing or less at times. The unit never left me wanting more than it could put out. Matter of fact I have never had to turn the hot water side more than a quarter of a turn to get more than enough hot water at any time.Unless you are a POWER user I can't see this not being able to do what you need it to do.

Remember, this in an indoor unit so its water heating capability is more a function of incoming water temperature. Our water comes in from a well to a rather large pressure tank so it has the chance to warm slightly. I have never had a problem driving 1-2 taps at 122 degrees.

The water is hot even in cold climate. My basement is not heated and shower is on 2nd fl I don't have a problem. Realize that the cold water already in the pipe has to come out first so it takes a minute to expel that.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

Ours gets warm to the touch....we have -20° to -30° temperatures where I live. It melts the snow/ice at least a foot away from the mat.

It's good for all seasons. During winter, we had a heating pad that had a temperature sensor so it didn't get too cold (also found on Amazon)

Hi, We live in Chicago and it has been working just fine in the cold weather. No Problems! We have already had 10 degrees and its perfect. Its really worth the money.

I have only used it in Florida and the summer in Colorado so I can not answer about cold conditions. It does ok on cloudy days, it just takes a while longer to charge fully.

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 am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 60C (140F). However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

I only use it in a semi warm shop. I think it has the temps. on the can as how cold it will work. Most of my cans do.

Unfortunately it hasnt been cold enough so I haven't had this issue. But I am sure wherever the heat blows it will be fine. The part where the heat comes out of however is not very strong nor very wide

I have used mine in temperatures as low as 20 below zero (for a string of 5 days) and it functioned flawlessly. The one draw back is the battery life is somewhat reduced by the cold temps. Hope this helps.

Very happy with ours ~ use it often even in this cold winter. Be sure to get the cover for it

you will have to describe the area to be heated better. What is 15# Where do you live...how cold does it get?

I installed one a 500 square foot three season cottage in Maine and it heats immediately with virtually no sound. I would expect it would work well in winter as well.

I'm sorry I can't really answer that. I purchased it for my son and he hasn't really had a chance to use it much with winter.

As far as i know it doesn't matter how cold it gets. Mine worked great in the lower teens.
