So I put my tanks that I am not running off of in the basement so they can warm up to the basement temp, instead of the ambient temp and all is good, it may be a pain to switch them out in the middle of the night , but when I do everything kicks in and works with no problem . Just saying, common sense is not to be taken for granted, think about it !!!!!
I'm really ignorant when it comes to this subject. Would it help to wrap the tanks with an insulated blanket? Something like you would use on a water heater.
