Can it be set to stay on rather than use the thermostat?

I believe it can. I just started using it the past few days since it just recently started getting cold at night here in the northeast. When you first turn it on it's on HI. The instructions state to leave it on HI until it warms the room then adjust the temp. The economy setting is 72 plus or minus 3 degrees (more like plus 3). But I would say you could just leave it on HI unless the unit overheats and kicks it self off but I wouldn't want to see my light bill! Not sure of the cost of running it since we just got it. It appears to be a solid unit and I've always had good luck with Lasko products. The unit is smaller than what you would expect but it puts out great. Hope this helps. I believe it can.

When I used it , it stayed on all the time. I had to unplug it if it got too warm. It is not regulated.

Yes. There is a switch on the side labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

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.

No. And for safety reasons, I wouldn't recommend doing either leaving it on constantly, or running it when not at home.

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

There is no way unless you buy a separate adjustable thermostat and wire it in.

There is an adjustment for the BTU output, but no thermostat. I think most applications would be for short term and therefore you would adjust the heat setting as needed.

I use a plug in programmable thermostat to control when the unit turns on and off as well as the room temp to be maintained while on. As some one stated as long as it is UV listed you should be okay.

If you don't mind that the back light will not be constantly on, you can run this thermostat off of batteries.If you have the wire providing power to the thermostat, you can set the back light to stay on which is very nice at night. The batteries at this point provide backup, but then if there is no power, the fan in the house for the HVAC system wouldn't be working either. It's just there in that case to hold settings including the time and date.

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!!!

No, at least not that I can find. I actually tried that myself since I own a 2 story home. It is much hotter upstairs in the bedrooms then downstairs where the thermostat is, so I was hoping to take it up there at night. You can take it off the wall and program it if you have batteries, but that is about all.

There are no timer or programmable options. Thermostat is only active while unit is on. When is turned off, and back on, it does not resume thermostat operation. It defaults to high with no thermostat.

If the thermostat is wired directly to unit and pulls power from the unit it will stay lit all night. If it runs just off the battery it will not.

No separate On/Off Switch - I turn the thermostat to the low setting to keep the unit from turning off

I don't think so. I keep it set at 3 hours and the only way to stop it from working is to unplug it. (e.g. I only want it on for 2 hours)

Yes. There's a "power on" setting unrelated to the timer, so you can keep it on continuously.
