Can this be used inside a house? Winters here often below zero. If used outdoors, what's lowest temp Fahrenheit for successful use?

I would not use this in any enclosed building. It is not vented and burns very hot.

No, it cannot be used in the house. I have no idea the lowest temp this can be used at but here is a link about propane that might be of use: http://www.propane101.com/propaneliquidandvapor.htm

Since it runs on propane, I would not run it in an unvented enclosed space. I haven't used it below 40 yet. I hope in an open garage it can be used in low temps. I suspect it can be.

we use ours inside the home. I don't think that it would hold up to temperature fluctuations or rain/snow very well.

It depends, of course on the ambient temperature. Today, it's about 40 degrees F outside and this heater set on the lowest setting has increased the indoor temperature about 12 degrees. I'm running this in an approximate 30 foot RV with a slide out. When the outside temperature goes much below freezing, (32 degrees F), I use it in the bedroom with the accordion type door closed. At its highest setting, it will reach about 80 degrees in that room.

I use mine in a outside garage and it has been as cold as 27 degrees F but I'm not sure how good it would work in an ice house. This system has two types of sensors one senses when a door is opened the other is an IR motion sensor.

I have used mine in temperatures as low as 20 below zero (for a string of 5 days) and it functioned flawlessly. The one draw back is the battery life is somewhat reduced by the cold temps. Hope this helps.

It would likely be something you'd have to play with a little. Ex: if recipe calls for 220° cooking temp, you may need to go to 240-250° in order for the temperature to be where you need due to the outside temperatures. I wouldn't recommend using it inside because it does give off a lot of smoke, unless you have some sort of exhaust system in your garage or something along those lines. Hope that helps!!

I used it all last winter in Northeast Ohio. Had many nights below 10° below zero. It was under a roof but side of building open to outside. Worked well ..... You do have to top off every few days due to evaporation....

I'm not sure if would work in cold areas. You'd have to contact the manufacturer. It works great though in normal tempered areas.

This is my first winter using it.My experience so far is that it continues to heat when the outside temperature is below 45°.All air-to-air heat pumps lose efficiency when they are extracting heat from cold air however.Mine is installed in an outbuilding that I want to prevent from freezing indoors.So for safety's sake I turn on an auxiliary electric heater when sub freezing temperatures are predicted.

I've used my Comark from around 60 degrees to temperatures around 350-360 (hot grease for fish). I've never used it to test below zero.

I think it's going to depend on how cold your winter gets. I don't know if it has any guidelines about temperature (it's at my grandkids' house) - but I would expect that the material might become brittle below 40 degrees. I doubt it would be wise to set it up below 50 degrees. Please note that this is conjecture only. I know that my daughter has set it up in the garage several times during the "colder" months in Virginia.

Sorry, I don't think so. We are still testing ours. In the house it freezes somewhat with electricity, but we don't have much luck with it staying very cold outside in the heat. I think other people have said the same

The lowest is about 35 degrees. Just enough to keep things from freezing in the shop. It depends on the amount of space you have, and how well insulated it is. I am heating the equivalent of a one car garage and it is not well insulated. This heater would work better in a insulated garage.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

Yes this heat works great under any condition. The outside temp has no effect. And yes u can use it inside but you would have to vent it outside

not good in winter.there are other types that work well in winter check on the web if you use a heater you are better off using a metal one.

are you referring to 40 degrees fahrenheit. you would have to experiment to see if it can. we just use it as a backup in our kitchen. we had two radiators in our kitchen-dinning room area. after remodeling,one of the radiators was removed. know when it gets real cold the one radiator can not handle the whole area so we use this little under the counter heater to help out. it definitely works fine
