Does this unit run at lower temps for in a basement? My current, older unit freezes up under 63 degrees, which is a problem.

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

Our basement never goes below 55 but the unit works fine in those conditions.

Yes I have had no issues with unit so far. And with the sub zero temperatures lately it is still working fine.

I've had no problems with my dehumidifier running in the basement. When it gets really cold (like below freezing), my basement doesn't get much moisture, so the unit doesn't run as often, though it's still on. But the dehumidifier has definitely still worked at lower (and all other) temperatures for me.

Hello, Our basement does not get quite that cold so I am unsure. I would call the company and ask. If it would not freeze up, it works amazing. It is a great item.

We use it in a lage storage building that lately has been around 40 degrees, no freezing yet.

The temperature is thermostatically controlled so the unit would turn off and come back on when needed.Never used mine in a basement, but if there's moisture I would be concerned.

We live in Wisconsin and it gets real cold here in the winter. We have had our 10 cu ft freezer in the garage for 13 years. Works great and I am guessing that it doesn't run much during the cold spells. Jim

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

Usually, a dehumidifier will cease to operate efficiently once the temperature in the house/basement goes below 60 degrees. It operates most efficiently from 70 degrees on up. Does this answer your query?

I have had this unit in operation for a couple of months and have noticed an extensive change for the better. We cannot hear the unit running from upstairs. Cycles as needed and maintains the humidity level we have set. Cool basement has had no adverse effect at all. Bob

i have it @ 7 Celsius , and is working fine so far. i think you can still go lower. hope this helps.

At least make sure that there is ample ventilation in the location around your freezer. For the one in my motorhome, I install one of those 4" computer fan through the wall of the compartment, then I monitored the compressor run time during hot days when in Southern Texas and there is not much difference than on cooler days. Change of air around the cooling coil at the back and compressor will ensure that your freezer will last a normal life.

Boy! That's a tough question. We are Southern Cal and the weather is never that brutal. The unit has worked really well for us and have no complaints. If I were you I'd just get and try it out. If it freezes just return it.

I have my unit in the basement and I have not noticed that it produces much heat at all, certainly less than the compressor types. Generating heat isn't that big an issue in Upstate New York. What I like about the unit is that it is very quiet. It cycles on and off indicating that it can keep my basement at a reasonable level of humidity without running all the time. I have no idea how well it might work in climate that is both hotter and more humid.

I keep the house at 78* year round. No problem with the red chiller maintaining 64* and the white chiller maintaining 52*. I have a second one in the garage maintaining at 64*, even with the garage reaching 100*. Just remember to have air space around the cooler.

It's 36 degrees F. Depending on the temperature of the room, I doubt it will run that cool. The lowest I've run mine is 64 degrees F. Usually it is set to 70.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

Are you asking what the temps were indoors and outdoors when I had it running? If so, this summer our indoor temp ran roughly around 80 upstairs, and in the basement it was always at least 10 degrees lower.

I have one installed in my upper level. I did have a freeze issue in the basement which stopped my heat. The alarm did go off and call but I wish I would have had one in the lower level to prevent some damage. If you find an answer please let me know as I too am considering having two on the same phone line. Will that work?

For some maybe, i live in south louisiana, about 40 miles south exactly. This bad boy runs great when it is over 90. I live in an uninsulated home that i know is hotter than 90 when i get home from work and i have never had issues at all.

No, I have a thermostat hooked in-line, so it doesn't run below 60 deg. I don't want to be cooling the space in the winter, I want the opposite, so the house stays warmer. This is an awesome unit and works really well.
