“What is the lowest temperature setting for heat? We are using this to control the air in a shed to preserve paints and most units only go down to 62 degrees for heat. We need one that goes down to about 50, or lower if possible.”

The thermostat for the LG 330 sq. Ft. 7,600 BTU 115-Volt Window Air Conditioner with Cool, Heat and Wi-Fi Control - White, Model # LW8023HRSM, can be set between 60°F~86°F (16° C~30°C). 62°F is generally considered a cool temperature, and 50°F is also considered as being cool and may feel chilly for some people, especially in warmer regions, but it is not typically regarded as hot. Some sources may describe it as cold, depending on personal comfort levels and regional climate, so you will not find a unit that will go down to 50°F or lower. The lowest temperature setting for an AC is typically set at 60°F to prevent damage and ensure efficient operation, and the lubricant in an AC compressor is designed for warmer temperatures. When the temperature drops below 60°F, the lubricant thickens and may not circulate properly, leading to inefficient operation and potential mechanical failure. Setting the AC below 60°F can lead to the evaporator coil freezing, which blocks airflow and prevents the AC from cooling effectively. This can also cause the system to shut down completely...^Ivan.
