Are the walls filled with insulation? How low of a temperature can it be used in?

no but thickness about 2in all around have two pugs temp dip to the teens last night both had to come out to cool off well made i'd buy another but no need too well made JUST BOUGHT A THERMEL BLANKET FROM THE VERMONT COUNTRY STORE THAT REFLECTS HEAT BACK ONTO THE DOGS WELL MADE MADE IN ENGLAND FAR BETTER THAN THE U S BRANDS

No, they are just hollow with air. It wouldn't be enough to protect a dog in freezing weather unless you had &gt;1 dog, blankets, and they huddled together.

No insulation in the walls at all. Maybe good in Florida or California, but not good under temp 45 or below. It is very light weight plastic so if you get strong winds it can blow over.

Sorry, but I haven't taken them out since there were installed so i have no idea what the insulation situation is right now. To be honest i never thought of it.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

While I love the Rockboard I bought thru Amazon for between the wall insulation I'd probably go with a thick fiberglass insulation instead (R30 or R38 if it will fit.). At that point I'd buy some Rockboard and make some panels to hang on the wall to make the room sound better. Good luck!

Even though it states that it is double walled, it doesn't seem of offer any noticeable insulation. As a result, it is uncomfortably hot to touch, but won't cause an instant burn from a brief contact.However, given how hot it gets and therefor how poorly it is insulated, I wouldn't choose this unit for 24/7 use.

It would depend on the area you live in because of ambient conditions. If freezing is a concern, then absolutely not without some sort of conditioning; I would not trust insulation alone. There are no electrical parts on it, but even if freezing is not a concern, I would still recommend finding a way to protect it from the elements, especially direct sunlight; I would expect the UV to cause damage to the unit over time.

Since the company won't answer, I went to the EdgeStar web site and understood that you can't "build-in" the unit. It's not vented. Heat is displaced through plates in it's wall panels.

First, this is bad, but lets try to verify that you cannot get the temperature down. Please make sure you are 6 inches from a back wall, and what is the ambient temperature. I own four units. They work well enough. 54-59 degrees. Sadly, I just threw out my last empty box today!

I installed it in successfully in the wall of my shed because there was no insulation or drywall involved. As others have noted, it is possible, if you buy the mounting kit or are creative and/or skilled enough. To install one in a typical home wall you should look for one specifically engineered for that location. Wall models usually have double flap doors to keep the weather out better and will have a section that extends into the the wall to keep the insulation where it should be.

Yes! I used it on our walls for extra insulation and dropped our heating bills quite a bit. It would be perfect for curtains.

i have this unit in a 25 ft x 25 ft garage; insulated (with 2 doors & windows), concrete floor & 10 ft ceiling.(attic above). it's set on the lowest setting and keeps the temp. around 50 degrees. i wall mounted the unit because i didn't want to damage the dry wall. down side: noisier than i expected, otherwise works well.garage is attached to home.

Very minimal insulation. I'd look at something different for hot drinks. I never tried hot drinks but it didnt keep cold ones very cold. It seems like nothing more than a big plastic container for liquids.

You need to check what your local housing/construction codes say. Generally speaking it's best to put plenum grade cables in walls because they give off less toxic fumes in the event of a fire. I personally wouldn't use this cable for that purpose.

No they are not insulated, and you can always put a old blanket and that will work fine.

No there are not insulated, but low voltage h its the way its design. What is your concern?

I use dimmable bulbs and they work great. Not sure on the insulation where I have them it is not insulated.

NO. It is strictly for under the home use. We also have it wrapped in insulation for maximum use.
