Only if you insulate the heater and keep heat tape on it. I have if on the outside of a food truck and it has frooze ! Good luck !!

I think you need get indoor model if your weather is below freezing. Otherwise you'll have to go to a lot of trouble to keep piping from freezing.

I have my Rheem tankless unit on the outside in a "cabinet". It is installed this way for future cleanout should scale buildup happen. Our area can get down to approx. 18F. I put a light bulb in the cabinet which I leave on during the cold months. It is just enough to keep it warm enough so the pipes don't freeze. The colder it gets the more insulation you will need however, the area should be able to breathe as it is LP gas fired.

yes, it has electric heat blocks built into it, kicks in low 30'2, good down to like -40. also, mine is set up, to easily drain.

Hello The unit you are inquiring about is an INDOOR unit - but in case you leave the house unattended, and it might be exposed to temperatures below freezing: You should inquire with the manufacturer, Tagaki Toll Free: 888.882.5244 My hunch is that if the house is unattended during freeze temperatures, the pipes would have an issue as well. Please call the manufacturer and be consulted for what is best in your specific situation. Regards, Buy and Large Inc

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

Thank God I live in a place where I can't answer that. But as an electrician I really can't imagine that the cold would affect it. It does seem to work well so far, and my only complaint is that is it very loud. I mean really loud. Good luck. David

No. I wouldn't think but I keep mine in 40 degree temp in winter months. You should be able to down load owners manual to be for sure.

hey James, I am assuming it can be used outdoors as that is where I mounted mine. I mounted it right on the antenna pole and wrapped it with electrical tape to keep connections dry.It gets pretty cold here in NY, so by next year I'll know for sure, LOL.But I don't see why it shouldn't work in cold or hot weather, I hope this helps!PS It made it through the summer although this wasn't a very hot summer this season.

Yes. I use a little electric one here in San Antonio but our winter weather is not near as cold as yours.

I have one in the garage and it works great out there. In Michigan we have very cold weather.

I use mine in the garage but it doesn't get as cold in Colorado as it does in Minnesota. However, I can't think of why it wouldn't work.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

Please disregard my "yes" answer! I hit the wrong button on accident. I am not sure if it will run in cold weather�.

I have only had the unit a little over a month. I only use it on hot days, therefore I don't think I would be using it during the winter. I store it in my truck cabin when not in use, such as nights and cloudy cool or cold days.

I think so but not directly in the weather.. But a very good product. This is my second order. I have five units now connected for several months and they work great. I will also be giving them as gifts this Christmas.

Don't know - it is installed at my barn in S.Fla. on an outside wall, and I have not had to use in winter yet. But I cannot imagine why there would be any problems. I suppose if the weather is at a freezing temp the pipe and shower head could freeze up; but other than that I do not know. Seems like a heavy duty fixture.

Unfortunately I have not been able to install it. It has been way too cold. I wish I could be more of assistance for you. Jason
