Does this unit turn off and on as needed using the thermostat settings? I have a heater now that has five settings but it is either on or off.

Yes it does, and it works great. I highly recommend it after using it all winter.

Well the thermostat does turn the unit on or off depending on the ambient temp.

Yes, once the pilot is lit, the temperature control turns the unit on or off base on the chosen setting.

It is working fine so far. The thermostat is numbered 1-5. We were told by the installer that around 3 was 70 degrees. I usually have it between 2 and 3. Have been very happy with it so far.

Yes. It turns on and off using the thermostat setting. I have had two other units over the past few years and this is definitely the best I have owned.

Hi Daniel, this model does NOT have an on/off switch. It automatically comes on below 40. To get it to completely turn off, I throw the breaker to the heater. I have mine installed in a second home in snow country. We manage 65 ski homes in the Sierra Nevada. Between those there are probably 140 Cadet heaters installed. They don't fail on us at the rate the other write mentioned. In fact, I bought one for a property I own as well. Also, does Cadet makes other models that you wire with a line thermostat that do turn off all the way.

This heater has five burners, the temp setting for this type of heater is normally controlled by selecting which of the five burners are on. in this case, there are 5 levels of temperature setting. the lowest setting is when you have only one of the five burners on. highest setting is when you have all five burners on. The heater I received has problem selecting how many burners are on. My heater is defective, when I turn it on, all five burners come on. I would stay away from this model if i were you, you may get a good, I ended up with a bad one. I didnt bother returning it because it is too much work.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

usually you don't need the run the heater all night, it will come off as you said when the temp reached the target. I just leave it on as it is automatic.

The thermostat is just a dial...high to low. I just set it to the lowest setting. According to the specs, the lowest setting has the heater coming on at 35 degrees.

The thermostat is not set by temperatures. Levels 1-5 settings...setting 1 is pretty low...setting 5 is really high.

3 settings; 1st one is just flame without heat it's silent, 2nd setting is low heat you will hear it kick on-it's not loud but audible, 3rd is high heat audible. * It will shut heat off if it gets too hot and you will only see the flames. We have 2 of these heaters been a couple years without any issue.

It turns on when the supply side temp is higher that the out side / room temp by the setting you make on the unit.( in heat mode ,opposite in cold mode ) then turns off. Had mine for over a year and still works great. I have a 2 story home and use it to draw hot air to a distant down stars room. Some times will draw hot air from upstairs down when the heater is not on. kind of balances the whole home temp.

Yes, The unit comes on and off with a built in thermostat. The pilot does stay on though. I use it to heat a small greenhouseand it was very effective.

I believe the two settings are "always on" and "timed temp on/off". I like the adjustable temp setting and timer control. Nice little heater

Yes, the unit has an on/off switch. It does not have thermostatic control. Nice air flow

Where do you live? Has it now turned warmer there? One of the last times I used my heater, about a month ago, it only ran for about 15 minutes and then turned itself off. I happen to have a couple small thermometers in my bedroom, so I noticed the temp was warmer than the 68 setting I had the unit turned onto. I did use it a couple times after that in the bathroom which is on a very shady side of the house and the heater worked like normal. So I think it's just smart enough to know when it's not needed. This is just a guess on my part.

Yes the heater turns off when the target temperature is reached, then the green light comes on.The red light comes on when the heater is on.Great Heater

My heater does the same.I had two since the first broke. I think their thermostats just dont work well.

I'll try to help. The heater has two modes. Either it is on for a pre-set time or it has a thermostat which determines when it is on based on the temperature of the room. When you set the thermostat it will initially show the temperature it is set to and then go to the current temperature. In this case it sounds like the heater is not turning on because it is set to maintain a temperature of 73 and it is already 77 in the room. The thermostat is on the heater so if the room is cold but the heater is in a relatively warm location (say in direct sunlight) then the thermostat will be fooled and you won't get it to perform the way you want. I put the heater in a relatively cold spot in the room and away from the sun and other heat sources. I hope this helps.

It does. It turns off once it reaches the seting u have it on. Then it comes back on when it cools down again. Perhaps u have a bad thermostat.
