How do you get a hotel room heating unit’s fan to stay on all the time? The cycling on and off kept me awake all night. I’ve been in other hotels where there is an option to keep the fan on all the time without affecting heating or cooling but this unit doesn’t have that option. It’s the standard Amana wall unit. It has heat, cool and off, then the temp setting (I have it at 70 degrees), and the fan setting has high, low and auto.
It’s cold here (South Dakota) so I need to have it on, but when it turns on or off it wakes me up.
Sometimes hotels have an energy-saving motion sensor attached to their heating-cooling unit, so that if a certain amount of time passes and it doesn’t sense any motion, it shuts off. But then if you roll over or something, it kicks on. I’ve yet to figure out how to bypass this crap in the hotels I’ve encountered it.
I was in Missouri a few weeks ago, and I kept waking up because I was freezing my nuts off. I’d have to sit up and wave my arms like an idiot just to get the heat to kick back on.
Anyway, maybe your room has one of those energy savers hooked up to the unit and the sensor is really sensitive to motion?
Thanks, both of you. Neither thing suggested is working in my situation. I’ve had the fan on low for the hour I’ve been back in my room, and I’ve been moving about, but it is still cycling off and on. My co-worker lent me some earplugs so I should be OK tonight.
I just wish there was a way to trick it to stay on, because I actually like the sound of the constant fan. It’s just annoying when it shuts off.
