So the built in thermostat will turn off the heater when the room reaches the selected temperature?

It will, however it is not that accurate do to the location of the sensor one inch away from the heater. I have to adjust it to a higher setting than you would think so the room stays warm. It works well once you remember this, they should have made the sensor remote so it would be a true reading.

No, the heater does not turn off once the room reaches the designated temperature. I'm happy to hear your heater works. My heater stopped working.
265925
Yes, it works just like a thermostat, turning the heater on when the room falls below your set temperature, and back off when it is up to your preset temperature.

I believe it does, then turns back on when the temp drops. However, I use mine in a chicken coop with ventilation, an open pop door and occasionally open windows for extra ventilation, just to keep the coop above freezing. So the "entire" coop never reaches the temp I have it set on. Just the immediate area.

Yes, that is the objective. It works well. This is a heater that Akers time to warm up a medium size room. It works best if it is turned on in advance and left to run through the night. When used this way it keeps the room warm.Rich Canova

Well that would be ideal if it worked that way. But the issue we found with the unit is that because the thermostat is on the unit it actually reads temp off the heater so it fails to read room temp. This causes the heater to heat up quick and shut off My suggestion would be to buy the unit without the thermostat and buy the thermostat that goes on the plug. This way it will at least be far enough away to raise the room temp somewhatThat is my suggestion. Good luckAndy

Heater has auto shutoff once the temp in the room reaches the desired setting.

No it doesn't. However you CAN cheat by setting the thermostat as low as 39 degrees so in the hot summer months when the room reaches a certain temp it'll shut off.

Yes it does. The bottom slide-switch powers it off completely. Or, if you still want to see the temp in the room, during summer months, just keeping the thermostat turned up high will prevent the heat from coning on too.

It has a position on the knob for "no heat" though it does not "click" into place. It does work to turn off the thermostat, though I unplug it if I'm not going to be using it for a while (i.e. at the end of the day).

Both of them turn off once the set temperature is reached while in energy saver mode

Yes. If you don't press the "HOLD" button (which maintains the temperature for 1 hour), it automatically shuts off when the selected temperature is reached.

Your thermostat will automatically cutoff in Heat mode if the roomtemperature rises above 95°F (35°C). It will cutoff in Cool mode ifthe room temperature drops below 45°F (7°C).

The description says thermostatically controlled.....so yes it should turn off at a certain temperature. I just ordered mine so will let you know when I get them.

I have 2 of these thermostats, the very bottom switch will say off or standby. That will shut it off. These are very accurate thermostats, I would recommend them.

Not a full answer: I estimate the maximum temperature at which the unit turns off one the thermostat is set at maximum to be around 80, perhaps 85.

Yes, if you hit the sensor button on the remote, the AC will use that sensor's temp to determine when to cut on and off.

It will heat the room. The sensor is under the flooring, in my case under the tile. Once the material around the thermostat reaches the programmed temperature, it will shut off. The controller on the wall does sense ambient temperature and will display both floor and ambient temperature

I have not. But, when this heater reaches the desired temperature as set on the control knob, the heating element shuts off while the fan continues until the elements actually cool down. Adding an external timer or thermostat would remove all power to the unit and defeat the units cool down process.

Jennifer, Yes it has a thermostat built in and it will turn off once the desired room temp is reached. The thermostat is in the knob tho, there's no temperature number setting like on your home central heat or AC. It's one of those deals where you have to guesstimate by using the knob. It's not hard to figure out once you use it a few times. One other thing to note is that there's a "burn off" smell that takes a few days of use to go away. The smell set off our smoke detectors and I was pretty worried. I called the company about it and they said that the new coating on it would eventually burn off and it did, but be prepared to endure smoke detector alerts if they're positioned near the heater. Our heater was hooked up by our gas company. If you're going to use natural gas, and your existing gas line, I highly recommend you contact your gas company vs. a private contractor.....for safety reasons and ability to hold someone responsible if there's a gas leak problem down the road. Good luck; I really like this heater.

It does not. You can purchase a thermostat that will turn the unit on and off depending on room temperature and set temperature.

There is a thermostat dial that you can set to shut it off, [with no numbers -just a line from thin to fat]. You have to experiment with it to find the shut off point for each room or situation.
