Would this be safe to leave on at a weekend cabin while we are away for a week or two?

Absolutely! I have several of them on my shore house in the crawlspace and no problems. The thermostats turn them on and off reliably.

I've left it plugged in from November to April for two years at my cabin in the mountains. Haven't experienced any problems. Works great.

Freak things can happen, but in general I would consider it safe to leave it unattended for weeks. I would do it.

I do not see an issue with leaving the heat tape on. It would be no different than if you were there. It is thermostatically controlled. Hope this helps you out.

Personally I wouldn't. I would turn off water and heat tape. If you go away and if this should stop working, or power outage then you come home to much bigger problems.

John - do not know what you are going to leave, know nothing about the cabin. Need more information
1415294
I don't know. I leave mine on all winter. It has a thermostat that clicks on when the temperature reaches 34.

This does not produce a lot of heat. It heats up just enough to keep things freezing. I keep mine wraped in foam insulation on my pond pipes. I think you would be fine

Yes. I used mine in the attic to permanently heat a water line (overhead shower fixture).

I wouldn't suggest that you keep it any where that it can overheat- room temperature best - key rings are best because they are with you . Hope you find a good place.

I usually don't leave any space heater on overnight or when I am not there. With it being electric I am sure it wouldn't be a problem, but I'd rathe be safe than sorry. I have had it on all day while there, and it seems to do just fine. No issues.

You can leave it on but it has about a 4 to 6 hour charge. If you have it connected to a power source it can stay on. It can disconnect if the item receiving the signal gets out of range. All in all this is a great inexpensive device. Write if you have more questions

I don't think there would be any issues at all. The only thing is that a person would always have to be in close proximity to keep it on. Otherwise, it will turn off.

Hi Jen, Thanks for the question. If the console is inside the cabin, I do not see an issue at all. If it is outside, I think it could be fine as long as it is not getting wet as it does need to be plugged in. Otherwise, should sound great! We will bring sunscreen! Contact AV-Express for more information.

Our son purchased this and took it to his cabin in the woods... I have never used it and he will not be back for 2 weeks. Sorry - Sue

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

It can be left on. This is an IP65 rated unit designed spacificly for harsh weather inviorments. Thanks for asking. Muskoka Lifestyle Products

No. These types of products take very little energy, in most cars probably none when the car is off. The important thing to understand about this particular item is that it is poorly made and will not last more than a few weeks before it must be replaced.

I have not yet installed my system. The instructions are HORRIBLE, and I'm going to have to take some time to sort them out. Regardless, I would assume that it is as safe to leave plugged-in as would be any electrical appliance, and likely, safer than most. (Coffee makers come to mind.) When I do install it, the controller will be near my back door, and it will be left plugged in, unless I decide to simply hard-wire it into the nearby breaker box.

I have fallen asleep on my sofa and it was fine. I have kept it on all day while I was home, and it was fine. But I would not recommend leaving any heater on while not at home or asleep for the night.

suggest to use it in a small closed room, not larger then 180sq feet (8'h). 2times of 15 min.
2152024
Yes, you should. It isn't a commercial quality one where you can leave it on all day.

Yes it is very safe. Just don't get to close or it may blow off some of the keys.

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!

I know that we have left ours on for at the most three days straight with no issues. But I'm unsure what the manufacturer would recommend as normal use, my suggestion is that you check with Econo-Heat on this question.
