Will this thermostat operate in a dual fuel mode that turns off the compressor when the aux gas heat is turned on?

Simple answer. YES If temp does't come up to temp is a certain amount of time it will shut down Heat pump Compressor) and start up Aux. heat source. I run a heat pump and gas heat for Aux heat. In cold weather I run on Aux heat only. Hope this helps

Yes. If wired properly with the use of an outside temperature sensor it will bring on aux heat below a preset temp and turn off the compressor. It will also bring on aux heat when the outside unit goes into a defrost cycle, and you can manually bring on aux heat. I have two of these units.

Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat. I set the temp (indicated on the LCD display) when the thermostat reaches that temp it turns off the compressor and only the fan keeps working. Has worked flawlessly in this regard. I set it to 74 degrees indicated, for example, and the AC compressor turns off.Another way you can save energy is by setting the timer (in increments of one hour). The entire unit turns off after reaching the designated hours used. (There's no clock timer.) I have the unit set up by my bed. On hot nights I go to bed, set the temp, and timer. When I'm asleep two hours later, for example, the machine turns off. Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat.

We tried it on my brothers new camper...it ran air but does not need to be in the eco mode. We verified that the air conditioner was 15,000 BTU. Hope this helps.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.

No. The compressor kicks off when it hits the set temperature but the fan keeps running.

On the 101 there is no "on&off;" switch per se.Be very sure you have fresh "c" cell batteries.Sounds to me like your propane is exhausted or not on. Make sure gas is getting to unit.

I have installed both, natural gas as well as propane gas units. It will run on either

No. This just switches the gas on and off. If everything else is working (not leaking, lighting promptly, burning clean etc.) this won't affect efficiency.

Yes, as long as you have pre-set both the heat and a/c temps then put it on 'auto'. I love this about this thermostat since I don't have to turn on the heat or a/c separatelyJust be sure to follow the directions, it's pretty simple to do. Best thermostat we've ever had!!!

This unit has the turn valve to control and or turn the gas on or off. In case of tip over , their is NO mechanism that would automatically turn this off.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

Yes it does. In Michigan, we turn the pilot off and shut off the gas supply for the summer, but as weather cools we light the pilot and leave it on for the winter.

The answer to your question is no.The resvoir side will remain @ the predetermined shut off pressure of the compressor,and the outlet side of the reg will be set by you and remain at that pressure until the source pressure drops below reg pressure.Ie; compressor off.

no it just switches the trailor from ac to dc. when you lose power and the fridge will keep working with propane

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.

Yes. In cooling mode fan runs in fan only mode, when the compressor shuts off.

Yes it is designed to work that way, when the compressor shuts off it go's to defrost mode, which kicks the fan on high. When defrost is complete it will go back to low and turn back on the compressor. It will do this unless the humidity level is below the set point of the machine in which case it will shut off.
