not sure,the water passes thru and gets heated up, it still is connected with a cold water supply, which is not only a filled liquid line, but alot of remnants of water are left in the coil inside the unit, you should really read up on this, there is i am sure a manufactures recomended installation for cold weather climate, i just dont know if this specific unit is recommended for outside????? in cold weather climates,if you read this units particular description it says "natural gas indoor tankless water heater, it says nothing about outdoor, call the manufacturer, thats your best bet, hope this helps, mike not sure,the water passes thru and gets heated up, it still is connected with a cold water supply, which is not only a filled liquid line, but alot of remnants of water are left in the coil inside the unit, you should really read up on this, there is i am sure a manufactures recomended installation for cold weather climate, i just dont know if this specific unit is recommended for outside????? in cold weather climates,if you read this units particular description it says "natural gas indoor tankless water heater, it says nothing about outdoor, call the manufacturer, thats your best... » Read More not sure,the water passes thru and gets heated up, it still is connected with a cold water supply, which is not only a filled liquid line, but alot of remnants of water are left in the coil inside the unit, you should really read up on this, there is i am sure a manufactures recomended installation for cold weather climate, i just dont know if this specific unit is recommended for outside????? in cold weather climates,if you read this units particular description it says "natural gas indoor tankless water heater, it says nothing about outdoor, call the manufacturer, thats your best bet, hope this helps, mike « Show Less

Yes, if the specific unit is made to be mounted outdoors. They make both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor type are typical in my my area (Sierra Mountain) when people do not have access to NG. They mount between the studs and look like an electric panel on the outside that faces the elements....

This unit can use any where, but the propane gas tank is not for indoor use, so ... not recommend for indoor use.

My area is similar. I live in northern Wisconsin where the temps have been below 0 for 3 months. I kept my furnace at 58 to 60 and the heater at 72 but it never went over 55 to 60. It was cold but when propane was $5 per gallon it got me through till the price came down

Well, ordinarily, we don't think of Oregon (at least in the Willamette Valley) as a cold weather state. But it got collllllld here this winter for a few weeks. I have pipes that run along the side of my house from my exterior mounted Rheem and those I wrap with an electric heat tape which only goes on if it gets to about 33degrees. The heater itself is protected internally by small heaters which are attached in various places and do a good job. That leaves the inlet and outlet array (which includes the valves and TP valve) which the heat tapes are hard to attach to. So I leave a small amount of water running at night and during the day when no one turns on a tap for an hour or so. Somewhere between a drip and a stream. That seems to do the trick. This summer I am going to put the pipes inside the wall and put the heater in an inclosure that you can buy from Rheem that fits into the wall, and my hope is that I will not need any more protection.

I don't really know because I am not using it outside, but I think it might freeze up if it is not too sunny during the winter. I think you probably need something with a heater or that has constant power so it runs continuously.

You could as long as it is not wet or raining. Probably better to buy a propane patio heater.

I guess it depends on how you define 'cold weather', we have two units that were placed outside from the beginning by our installer and no problem to date, we are in south central Texas. 'hope that helps you, good product

I bought a 12-pack of GasOne Butane canisters offered on Amazon. They work fine. As mentioned in my review, if you want a fuel to use in below freezing temperatures, then I'd go with a propane cook stove.

No, the design is for the thermostat to be outside so as the temperature drops to freezing then the heat will keep the pipes outside from freezing.

I'm also in Ohio, and I doubt several of these could heat 800 sq. ft. decently even if your wiring could handle the load. It would take some calculating, but I suspect the electrical cost would match the propane unless you are willing to tolerate cold indoor temperatures.

The heat here is a central propane furnance, so I can't respond with accuracy. However, I don't see why it wouldn't as it is a digital and provides an on-off based on the surrounding temperature. Sorry that I can't provide more info.

Yes, definitely! I use mine year round in Seattle. It is insulated and I've actually cooked at 500 degrees in a snowstorm in Reno on our first unit during initial testing. If it's real cold out remember that the steel and the stones are very cold as well and will take longer to heat up to cooking temps. You can also remove the upper fuel grate and build a bigger fire right on the firestarter grate in the firebox. I'd also recommend using all high heat woods like Oak, Maple or Hickory for a hotter fire.

Depends on how cold it is Seriously cold like less than freezing in my RV less than a week as primary heat source good luck

If you live in a warm weather climate you can leave this outside. With the temperature changes we have had recently I would hesitate to leave it outside in case of freezing. This is a remarkable little unit and the only drawback is the cheap handheld sprayer they give you. I went out and purchased a new sprayer and this unit works great.

As long as you have enough water and enough propane to keep the heater going, sure!

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!
