Will this heater start automatically after power outage or must one turn it back on?

Better turn it off as soon as the power outage happens. Don't take risks with space heaters, no matter how safe they are.

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.

Thankfully, I haven't had a power outage since I have had this unit. But, with my other things like fans, for example, they would turn back on when power was restored.

It is true that this timer needs to be "reset" after a power outage. The reason is because it is hardwired to your electricity. But resetting is fairly simple and even if you can't get to it when you'd like, once the power comes on it will begin to cycle again from where it left off.

No it will not turn back on after a power outage, but you can set it up to turn on and off with an internal timer that comes with this unit,

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....

This heater is equipped with the 1Touch Thermostat. When ambient temperature rises above the set temperature, the heater will stop. When the ambient temperature drops below the set temperature, the heater will turn on automatically.

I have never had an outage, but it's fully manual, so I would expect it to restart exactly where you set it.

It does have a switch on the bottom that turns the unit off if it tips over. If set back upright, the heater will turn back on.

It will not operate without electricity. It will restart at preset settings when power is restored.

If you are having it installed by an electrician you should be able to set it yup to run automatically in the event of a power failure or you can set it so that you would only turn a switch and it would come on.

The heater does not come back on after power off unless it's still hot the fan will come back on until it's cool but the heater does not come back on you have to reset it

It will immediately turn off. It will even turn off it I touch my surge protector that it's plugged into. I love my heater.

You first have to turn it on with the button on front. Then you can turn it on and off with the remote control. if its unplugged or power outage this sequence would need to be performed again.

Once the heater shuts down, will it turn back on once temp in room goes down? Thanks......

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

This is a great heater. We haven't had a power outage this winter - so am unable to answer your question. However, I'm sure it would restart automatically & keep its setting. A good question for the manufacturer.

To have it automatically turn on in a power failure have it plugged in and have the button in either the "on" or "night light" position. If it's in the night light position it will remain on 24/7. If it's in the on position, it will be off when plugged in but on when unplugged or when plugged in if there's a power failure.
