FAQs
Is there a way to turn off the loud beeping of the on/off button?
We are sorry for the inconvenience but there isn’t a silent mode/option to stop the unit from beeping when turning on/off.
Does this have 2 or 3 prong plug?
This unit uses a 2 prong plug.
Does this make any type of loud noise each time it goes on, which might wake me up?
There should not be a loud noise when it starts. This tower is very quiet even when turning on. Hope this helps. (BBB A+ Accredited Business).
Can I use this heater in a garage in the wintertime as long as it’s not exposed to the elements?
As long as it isn’t too large of an area. It would certainly help if the garage was well insulated. We have two of them in our four seasons room (12’x18′). We have electric radiant floor heating which we keep set at 69 degrees per the electrician. It can get chilly in there on very cold nights (low 20’s to the teens) so we use a separate radiant heater (no fan) to keep the plants in there happy. We turn the Pelonis heaters off at night because I am a little nervous about a unit with a fan running overnight.
I received this heater as a gift, but it didn’t come with butterfly nuts. I am wondering if anyone knows the size? They look smaller than 1/4 inch.
Please give us a call at 866-646-4332 and reference case number 111048351; we will gladly assist you.
My friend I have cabin with a size 12×24 and insulated my question is, this Heater is enough to get my temperature up 60 degree thank you
I would say so. Of course, it depends a bit on how cold it is outside and how well insulated your windows are. Our living and dining room area is about 14x30ish with TERRIBLE insulation (80 year old house w/a couple concrete walls) and we keep two of these at opposite ends running 24/7 in the winter, usually set to 70. In the spring we’ve only kept one on and often turn it off for being too warm. I would recommend setting the heater to 70-75 and just leave it on eco setting. They take a little time to heat upa room but once they’re going they keep it toasty.
Will the eco mode stay on indefinitely or does its time out and turn off automatically after a certain amount of time?
The unit will stay on ECO mode and will not turn off until it is manually changed. Have a nice day. [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
Will this turned back on after a power outage? I need to plug this into a temperature controller.
You would need to manually turn the unit on after a power outage.
Are these actually energy efficient?
This unit is equipped with ECO mode to achieve customized warmth without worrying about huge energy bills. Have a good day. [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
Can you set it to Celsius?
Unfortunately, you cannot adjust it to Celsius. Have a nice day. [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
Can you set the temperature to a specific number like 72 degrees? My current space heater can only set in 5 degree increments (70, 75, 80, etc.)
Temperature setting range: 40℉ to 95℉. Have a fantastic day! [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
How many batteries does it use for the remote and what size batteries?
The remote needs one 1CR2032 battery to operate. Have a good day. [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
Can an extension cord be used?
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use an extension cord or reloadable power tap (outlet/power strip). Have a great day. [email protected] (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
I have had it on for a week, about 60 hours, how long does it take for the toxic melted plastic smell to go away?
It should take about a week for the smell to go away. If you are still experiencing this issue please reach out to us at [email protected]. Have a good day. (BBB A+ Accredited Business)
would this heat a small camper in 35 degree weather?
It heats a 14 by 24 bedroom in 32 degrees just fine.
