Our cabin is at about 8000 ft altitude. Will this unit work ok up there?

not sure, but ours is 5200 ft and there is no problems using it . when it is freezing temps the lp gas flows slower to light the pilot

Yes, the operating distance between the sensor and receiver is about 500 ft, so this should work for you.

I would say yes, IF the cabins have a clear line of site to the unit. I was able to go about 300ft with a fairly but not completely clear line of site and still pick mine up on a cell phone before it dropped out. And most cell phones don't have very good wifi antennas.

Katrina, I live about 1,500 feet above sea level (Southern California) so it works very well in my sunny area. I'm not sure how it would work as high as the Rockies, the manufacture should be able to help. Best of luck to you! Susan :)

Well I have three of these in a 900 square foot cabin at 4000 foot elevation, I don't expect to heat the house this way, it is about freeze protection while I am gone.Never had a freezing problem yet, and it has been below zero within the last few months

Should work pretty high up, I have one mouted approx. 9 feet up. It sensor actually seems to be angled slightly downward. No self-contained alarm. Mine ties into a honeywell vista (tuxedo).

Some heaters have low oxygen sensors and cut out around 5,000 to 6,000 ft.This heater does not use an oxygen sensor and thus, is not altitude limited. So far, I have used mine at almost 10,000 ft. and it worked fine. You do need to keep a window or a vent cracked open (about 1 inch) when using it. If you don't, you will likely set off the RV's CO detector alarm.

I live at 2600 feet and it flys great here. I have even attached my iPhone to it and recorded video. You can see the video on YouTube if you search for Ramble SkyCam. My guess is, with the lifting power to be able to fly with an iPhone 5 it will do just fine at Denver altitude.

I haven't tried that distance but based upon my experience with the device I would expect that 80 feet would NOT work.

The accuracy of the unit is 2.5m 2D rms, altitude is a little bit less accurate, typically around 3-5 meters. It will depend on the GPS signal quality and DOP numbers. You can use the UltiMate GPS app to determine the accuracy: press on the "i" button and it will come up with a screen that has DOP numbers and the accuracy that goes with them.Roger Koumans, Emprum LLC

Send it back because the thermostat is set for high altitude and will not work properly.I did exactly the same as you did and returned for another Bunn model

The elevation isn't an issue. unfortunately, my experience was that the copter would not could not fly - due to a problem with the rotor gears. I returned it.

My unit is mounted at about 9' off the floor in room with 10' ceilings and it detected a CO build up in the middle of the night that could have easily saved our lives. We live in the middle of the forest and during a power outage our back up generators exhaust came into our bedroom through a slightly open window.

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made. The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

Mike, I am in a unique position to answer your question at least from my own experience. I am at Columbine Cabins in Colorado and at 8700 feet elevation. I have not used it since I got here but needed that question answered for myself so I got it out and hooked it up. It works fine. As always it takes some time for the propane to go through the hose, more than the 30 seconds indicated in the instructions, but once ignited it turns on and stays on. This is a great heater I presently own one and will be purchasing another. Good luck Mike and have a great day. Jim

I contacted the manufacturer who told me that these heaters do not work for elevations above 4500 feet. I'm surprised this isn't explained in the product description. Pretty important information, I think. Thanks everyone for all your helpful answers. I'm looking for another heating solution. Hard to beat this little heater!

I am at 1000 ft and it has limited performance. Good indoors but cannot handle the slightest of breeze outdoors. At your elevation may not get off the ground.Reg
