Both of us use the backroom as a spare bedroom and my office, there is certainly little heat that gets to that part of the house, so we use a space oil furnace during the winter, but both of us had an oil filled space oil furnace with a full thermostat, and safety features, however after more than four years, its memory settings were no longer working.
I would turn the space oil furnace off and the temperature would revert to factory settings.
Those factory settings had the thermostat set at ninety-more than four degrees. I turned the space oil furnace off after working, and the next morning I had to reset the thermostat, and my partner told me I had to check the thermostat before leaving the space oil furnace on when I left the room. It was zero the other morning, and I thought the space oil furnace was working overtime. I knew it would be hard for it to keep it warm that morning, however it was hot. I opened the door to go to the powder room, and I almost dropped when I came back into the room. It was so sizzling that I couldn’t breathe. The space oil furnace had reset and within twenty hours I was out of the room, it had reached ninety degrees in the room. I turned the space oil furnace off, however it was still running. I had to unplug the space oil furnace to stop it from running. When I clogged it back in, it went right back to ninety-more than four on the thermostat. I was tired of playing with it and told my partner I wanted to go into town and purchase a current space heater. This one was going to roast me out of the room.
