Does the flame ever shut off if the Tstat is satisfied. I keep it on #1 it keeps the basement at 58 but I have never seen it shut off. Gas Bill?

I keep mine (Two now, one in the greenhouse) at 70, (2.5 to 3 on the dial) and it shuts off as expected. If it ran continuously, I would cook. I suspect your basement is very large or very drafty if it seems to run all the time. The greenhouse has been chilly with the arctic exposure, but the heater still only runs in cycles, as it doesn't take long to heat the 100 sq. feet.

Main flame stops when set temperature is reached. Pilot light is on always. P.S. I also have the blue flame model and it seems to use more gas then my old catalytic model did. My btu's increased by 1/3. Both of mine are 30,000 btu without blowers

I was wondering the same thing. I have mine in the garage so there is a lot of heat loss but it will still get quite hot. I have never seen it shut off even though the product description led me to believe it would. I have had mine for ~2 months but I have not paid a lot of attention to the gas bill.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

As long as u nake sure the heat control is set right, no gas leak. We have no carbon dioxide leakage. I cannot see a problrn with running a. Line anywhere in the house as long as u do it right. U might ask kozy world for specifics. We have it ibstalled in our kitchrn (1938 built house) and a gas fireplace in livibg room (520 sqft house) and it is very efficient! Last year we. Had power bills over $150 a month plus gas bill of $40 per. Month in winter. We have been using this since September and the total gas and electric for 2 months is only $120. I am not an expert (has been drip under pressure) but we love our kozy workd heater.

It's in my teenagers room since he's in the basement. He has left it on all night sever nights in a row and my bill did not increase a cent when it was on. Love this heater. Super awesome and super safe as it kicks itself off when the room reaches a certain temp.

I am heating a basement room 16x24 with a 10 ft ceiling and it does a great job. I use the economy setting which allows us to drop the heat by several degrees. Also you can set the on- off times so it doesn't have to waste heat during the night. My unit is the EX 17 (BTU) Natural Gas model.

I heats the basement well. I keep it set at 50. Keeps the pipes and floors warm. It is only 7 foot ceilings. Not sure how warm you need it. Quite costly on the electric bill. This last month it went up $100 and it isn't really cold yet. Not sure if this helps. I ran it all summer to keep circulation in the basement. I have three partitions (partial walls).

My fan never shuts off. I leave mine to maintain my batteries for my back up sump pump and I do occasionally charge other batteries I have lying around and it maintains the batteries quite well, but it never turns off the fan in certain modes. If the fan should shut off I'd like to know because it's annoying when I'm in the basement for an extended amount of time.

We have been running this unit constantly since April. We live on Long Island and the basements are all underground and damp if you do not dehumidify. This unit is perfect for us. Never turn it off and I have not seen any difference in our electric bill.

We use our Fire Dancer occasionally and we also use the same tank for our grill. We have run it for 2-3 hours probably 3 times. We still have not run out of propane. It puts off some heat but it's not the same as having a regular fire pit with wood. Still it works for us and we don't smell like smoke after. We even use ours to roast marshmallows. Hope this helps.

It doesn't burn at all... You have to use it in a Gas Fireplace or Fire Pit.When you turn off the Gas it goes out.

We have owned ours now for ~ 6 months and it works flawlessly. We have not had one problem with it and we have a pretty full household - my husband and I and three kids. We love it and have seen our gas bills drop far more than predicted, so we are really happy with it.

Do you mean the main flame cuts off and must be reignited? We've never had a problem with our natural gas unit. Is your's propane or natural gas? Low line pressure could be the problem as could be the O2 senser.

No, it has flame only, low and high. I did read that it will turn itself off if overheated. It doesn't turn itself off when the room is a certain temperature.

I operated my Comfort all last winter as a primary heat source and it hardly showed up on my electric bill. It only uses 1500 watts tops, but is so efficient in circulating the heated air, It cycles only about hafl time. My furnace uses propane gas at $4.00 a gallon. I run the electric 24 hrs a day, for at least 50 percent savings over-all.

Mine has been running 24/7 for three months now and there has been no problem. It automatically shuts off when the tank is full, so you don't need a timer. It never gets hot and it is very quiet. I forget about it most of the time until I see the full light on. It works great!

I have a 3400 sq foot, four story home, at 10000 feet altitude in Utah, where it gets below -20F at night in the winter. I have two of these, one on the ground floor, one on the third floor. House stays nice and warm in the 70's, my gas bill is less than a hundred dollars a month. I should have installed these years ago (my electric bill heating with baseboards ran up to 700 USD a month).

Yes, it does have a thermostat on there that will kick it on and off depending on what you have it set at, (but it does have a pilot flame that stays on), we have ours in a room approximately 15x15 foot and rarely have to turn it past 2 to 2-1/2! It's also cool to the touch, has a glass and metal screen on the front of it. I have dogs in the house and use to have the old 'brick' heaters, those were very dangerous around the dogs, with this one, I don't have to worry, the flame is no where near the dogs, thanks to the glass and the screen. It has 2 hook ups on there, one for natural gas, the other for LP, (liquid propane), with the liquid propane it does take a certain pressure to operate it correctly, (we replaced our old unit with this one, so we didn't need to worry about the pressure from the propane tank). The one thing we have found that is kind of bothersome is that fact that the 'click and start' button has to be pushed down pretty far before you can try and start this heater, we used a small kind of round stick that we can hold the button down with to kick it on. Also the unit will 'politely' tell you when it needs cleaned, which isn't hard to do, the way it tells you is that the heater will shut it's self down while in the middle of trying to heat the room, it takes us, less then 10 minutes to take the front off and clean it out. After having this heater for over 2 years now, we have not had any problems with the heater itself, just the things that I already told you about the start button and when it needs cleaned. I hope I've answered your question about this unit, if not feel free to ask more! Thanks! (The heater does not have any kind of flame adjustment at all on it).
