The manufacturer says these will run for a day or so. In that case, it wouldn't work as a backup if the power is out for a long duration, or if the main heat source fails completely. You'd have to make sure to be on-site within 24 hours of the failure, which is real limiting if you have to be away for days, isn't it?
