Can you have both follow-me and energy saver modes on at the same time? UPDATE: Spoke with techs (?) from keystone and they said a lag of 3-4 degrees is normal for both follow me and the energy saver. Seems like you need to set the temp LOWER than you might actually prefer. When I did that (set at 72 degrees if I wanted the room to be about 76 degrees) it seemed to work.Still waiting for a heat wave to see if this "expected lag" gets worse.

I set up my AC, tried your situation and have the same results, I think it is working fine. I would suggest that you wait for the cooling temp get to the point that the compressor turns off and see if the fan cycles like it should. Good luck.

I found the same thing with both my units. That is, if I want the room temp. to be 78 degrees, I set the air cond. for 74 degrees. No big deal.

Yes. The remote has an "energy saver" button on it to start or stop it. The "follow-me" remote will determine the set temperature at the remote instead of the AC unit. The follow-me can do everything, even glows in the dark. I am very happy with this AC, all the features, it is much more than they say it is, I recommend it to you.

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.

Hi Kathryn: I ordered my Hunter 60 inch ceiling fan to cool my HOT cathedral living room ceiling. the temperature decreased 10 degrees over night. I did not have a light fixture on my cathedral ceiling. I paid 2 professional electricians to crawl up into my attic and install the necessary wiring. The fan has a remote (real convenient). My ceiling fan does not have a light. I did not want a light fixture on my fan. I am perfectly satisfied with my Hunter fan. I have a ceiling fan in every room, except the bathroom . Saves me a lot of money on my power bill. HUNTER is the best ceiling fan.

Where we live the power seems to go off if a dark cloud passes over. My unit always maintains the settings when the power comes back on. I use my unit to incubate reptile eggs and it is a MUST that the temperature be maintained within +-3 degrees and to date it has always functioned perfectly. I was skeptical for the first few days and watched it closely and had it set to keep the temp within 0.3 degrees to insure survival of my eggs. It worked so good I have since ordered another to buld another incubator and will probably order several more. I can't say enough good things about this controller!

It works great for us! I usually turn it on in the bedroom an hour or 2 before my son gets home from school for the weekend. Obviously, make sure it's plugged in! You're supposed to have the dial turned all the way down, turn it on, then turn the dial up all the way, then back to where you want it. We usually keep it straight up. If yours is not turning on at all, maybe its defective. If it's not "heating" your room, is the room too big for it? The rooms we use them in range from 10x12 to 14x16, and they work just fine. Allows us to keep rest of house cooler, save on oil. The added electric is way less than heating an entire drafty old house! It works great for us!

Hi William. Mark here... Personally, the combination of the heater and the provider has been a nightmare. 2X now, the inner coils have burst from cold temps. If you live in a cold climate be very careful! T oanswer your quesytion, the unit is in our studio apt and to prepare to take a shower we must first turn on the sink hot wate which is near the shower to initiate the hot water. Then once the shower is turned on (as long as the unit continues to fire) we then tune thew sink off which allows the shower to keep flowing hot water. It's a querk for lack of a better term to say the least and I hope thatg answered your question. Hi William. Mark here...

It has been my experience with these units, (I have 4 In/Out temp units) that it is best to run them thru the firewall to a point in front of the radiator. (bout 6 inches away from the radiator itself. This allows air to flow across the sensor when you are moving thus giving a realistic outside temp. Of course the temp reading goes up when you are sitting still, but it's still good. The next best option is to run the sensor wire along the dash and down the door post and into the cavity in front of the door. This gives a reasonable temperature indication, but will be erroneous when the vehicle is sitting in the sun, and will not respond a fast as it would in front of the Radiator. Good luck.

Not to sound condescending but if you don't have the "HEAT" function turned on the unit will not heat up. If it is still set to FAN or AC it will allow you to set it for 90 but it won't heat (and mine only goes to 80??) Additionally, if it is VERY cold (like 20s or below) the unit will not heat, it acts like a heat pump and the amount of heat goes down as the temps drop below 32 degrees. I only use mine to heat from about 30-55 degrees which covers about 90% of the time here in Alabama. During REALLY cold spells we cover the unit and use this DeLonghi TRD0715T Safeheat 1500W Portable Oil-Filled Radiator with Vertical Thermal Tunnels which we purchased here at Amazon and have used it for many years.

M. M.: I'm in the middle of an email conversation with the Appliatech (who services Solo ovens--or perhaps owns the Solo brand--I'm not entirely clear on this relationship) Customer Service technician, regarding my S2000 which currently isn't working due to a bad On/Off/Timer switch. One of the things I've gathered from this email conversation is that the original S2000 oven was wired such that the thermostat controlled the Convection Fan--which is a mistake because in convection mode you want the fan running constantly. In later models of the S2000 this wiring mistake was fixed, such that the Convection Fan runs properly (all the time). I believe that is the reason why some customers are reporting that the fan only runs when the thermostat is on, and others are reporting that it works properly. I'm guessing that if you order an S2000 now, you will be getting a newer, properly wired model, and it was only the early purchasers who got the mis-wired S2000's (but I can't guarantee that).

Make sure you have the unit set on the little screen with the sun pattern , that meens its in cool mode .f its in dehumudify mode,the little droplets pattern will show up on the small screen , you wont get much cooling when its on that cycle ...Thats done by using the MODE button . I found this out that same way , room wasnt getting very cool in dehumidifiing mode , , ...I had to go over the directions to get the modes down properly ...

I have actually called EdgeStar on this very issue. Our unit was not cooling on the left side. It seems the issue I had was that the fan would not run unless I turned the interior light on. However, when I did this the fan ran non-stop which caused temperature issues with the right side. Edgestar offers two options within the first year...send the whole unit in and pay for shipping or have a technician service the unit and then request warranty parts from Edgestar. So far we have done neither. The fan should start and stop as the desired temperature is met. Please respond if you've had any success in resolving. We are on the brink of getting a new fridge.

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review. My answer is ---with the ceramic one I bought/returned you can choose any temp. The problem is it doesn't keep it. I choose 68 and it would climb 74+ and go way below the 68 before turning on. I believe there is something you call this. Basically you choose a temp and there is a high and a low. Some are more fine tuned and have a smaller variance. Lasko apparently has a large variance. That's my word it may not be the correct word but I hope you get what I am saying. I don't know where in the specs to find this variance from heater to heater. But it is reason I returned the heater. No other reason. Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review.

you circulate a small amount of water back to you water heater with this unit so like me you are thinking you are reheating or making your water heater run a little more, which you are, however, if you run your water at the faucet for a minute or more to heat it up, you are also bringing in outside water into the water heater which is much colder than the water that is recirculating causing the water heater to run anyway and possibly longer depending on the incoming temp of the water and how many gallons you run to get the water temp to what you need. If water conservation (cost or availability) is an issue (which availability may soon be the overwhelming issue for all of us) then this is the way to go. cost is very minimal. If you use very little water, and your other faucets / showers are close to the heater and heat up within 4 to 6 seconds then I would go with a 2.5 gallon under the faucet water heater, or better (if you can afford it) is an "on demand" heater, either way you have very hot water instantly. I have both the laing circulator pump at work and an under sink water heater at home. Both work great, just depends on your needs. The laing was installed at work to conserve water (trucked in 2 times per month) and because it circulates (85 deg on and 94 deg off) it keeps the water line thawed out and just a little natural gas is WAY cheaper than electricity or the water we truck in. At home, we want very hot water at our faucet (zero loss of water) and our other faucets heat up quickly so no real loss. Love them both. The Laing and the under sink heater (storage unit) will ultimatly cost the same (installation and parts are offset). THe Laing gives 95 degree water (the hot stuff follows pretty quick, the under the counter is instant, but either one makes your life nicer and you no longer have to sit by the faucet. I have since installed both systems for friends after evaluating their needs.

We just bought a new MK32E for our daughter's barn. The heater on mine was attached directly to the underside of the water pan while this newest one has the heater sitting away from the water pan, suspended from a small arm. Ours froze up last year at -25 degrees but increasing the thermostat setting seemed to solve the issue. With the heater away from the pan and at -40 a 500 watt heater might be taxed beyond its capacity. I used to put a 100 watt light bulb inside our unit in the winter just to be sure it did not freeze during those few sub zero days.

My answer is probably useless... But I replied so you weren't left hanging. I hooked up my computer to it and set the cost for kW/h to what I think my service charges. After one month it cost me more to just run my computer than my entire cilco bill was. I am betting that is just me who did it wrong. I haven't tried very hard with it. I don't want to steer you away if you are planning on using it seriously and you are good at what you do. I would say it was of by 400%, but could have been me. THE DISPLAY IS VERY DIM.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.
