Can I set thermostat low enough to just guard against freezing pipes, and not warm room much more than that while I am away?

Yes you can set it as low as you want and it will come on when needed , as the temperature drops and triggers the thermostat .

I have left mine on very low numerous times. You just have to experiment with the setting to get the temp you want. Keeping the bathroom door closed helps to hold the temperature.

The lowest setting for away mode is 40 degrees. Nest has a built in safety feature and will kick the furnace on if the temperature falls below this. However, you can adjust away mode to your liking. Mine is set at 60 for low and 80 for high.

I use my thermostat to control the cooling range on an iceless cooler. Fiddling with the thermostat I have noted that it can go as low as minus 58 to well over 200 degrees F. The temperature settings are manually set.

It's programmable, so you can simply make it turn itself off during the night. You can manually turn it off if you go on vacation. Otherwise, you can set the temperature as low as 60 degrees, although if you put it on economy, the temperature would have to drop 4 degrees before it would come back on.

The heater control is not intended to be a thermostat that will keep an area temperature no lower than a setting. It keeps the heater no colder than a setting so my heater came on briefly when the temperature was 25F. It didn't significantly heat the area. I would not trust this heater to keep an area from going below freezing, The outside temperature plays a major role in the temperature that this or similar heaters heat an area. By experement you could find a setting that would keep an area at 40F but if the outside temp. took a dive the inside temp will also go down but not as much. If you need to freeze protect an area plug your heater into a Farm Innovators TC-3. Find one on Amazon. It kicks on at 35F

Mine is installed on a back wall of the house, in a semi sheltered alcove. It is not usually very cold in Columbus, GA and we have had no problems with it. I would hope there is a setting that would cause it to run a little to keep it from freezing.?? My wife lets the hot water drip just a little anytime that we expect sub 32 degree weather. Bob Behar

The only thing I can add is you must NEVER set the upper thermostat higher than the lower! Set at the same temperature or with the lower temperature higher than the upper.

I'm not that good of an electrician so I can't truly say, but I can tell you that we love the remote therm. because we can make it control wherever we are. Ours is a small apartment with a loft, so to control just the loft would be cold below and vice-versa, warm on the bottom and really hot upstairs. Hope this helps with your decision, P.S. you can lay the remote anywhwere you want it and call it hardwired, HA, Ha. just kidding.

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.

There is no actual "off" switch. If you plan to have a temp lower then what the stat is used for, I would suggest another model or add a switch to it.

Sure you can as I've have had it on for days when it's chilly and as the cold picks up, it's best to leave it on continuously with no obstacles in its way to allow the heat to circulate and warm up that area. I've already purchased 6 of these and it's really helped lower our electric bill by a lot of $$$.

This system does not have a thermostat. I'm using it for a drain line, and will plug it in when I know there is the possibility of freezing. I think it would be wiser for use in eaves to purchase one with a thermostat rather than buying them separately. bballast

Hello The unit you are inquiring about is an INDOOR unit - but in case you leave the house unattended, and it might be exposed to temperatures below freezing: You should inquire with the manufacturer, Tagaki Toll Free: 888.882.5244 My hunch is that if the house is unattended during freeze temperatures, the pipes would have an issue as well. Please call the manufacturer and be consulted for what is best in your specific situation. Regards, Buy and Large Inc

I have my Rheem tankless unit on the outside in a "cabinet". It is installed this way for future cleanout should scale buildup happen. Our area can get down to approx. 18F. I put a light bulb in the cabinet which I leave on during the cold months. It is just enough to keep it warm enough so the pipes don't freeze. The colder it gets the more insulation you will need however, the area should be able to breathe as it is LP gas fired.

It automatically shuts off if it becomes too warm, so you could. And with ComforTemp it keeps it between 68-70 degrees. I personally feel more secure turning appliances off if I'm gonna be gone for an extended time though.

I leave it in a smaller room than that at a lower temp. So, not sure, but I would think so. The real key with this heater is that it is SILENT and automatic. Set it and forget it!

I don't need it to operate when the temp is above freezing. I got a thermostatically controlled plug which turns on at 20 and off at 30. Works great!
