Can you use an electrical extension cord with unit?

I use a 9 foot appliance cord with this dehumidifier. Just make sure the extension cord is rated for the amps.

Yes, you can. There is a plate kit included that allows for wall mounting. You may be limited by the length of the cord, and hence would need an extension cord.

The device has an extension cord itself in case you have to place it at a certain distance from the wall electric outlet. In any case I don't see any logic restriction in plugging the CO2 detector at the end of an extension cord. I would suggest to use an extension cord exclusively for ONE device.

I don't know about this unit but they make cord reels specifically made for extension cords that are cheaper and would probably work better. Amazon has plenty of those.

Cord is only around 3 ft. Yes, you can use an extension cord, but as always, only this heater should be connected to the extension. And I would recommend using a heavier gauge extension cord.

My parents have an electric box right behind their birdbath so they don't need an extension cord. Sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.

You will need a grounded extension cord. If you use this outdoors, I recommend an outdoor cord.

extension cord is fine. However, remember the chime unit is also a radio receiver. It gets signal when the button is pushed. Make sure your "receiver" is getting a signal.....that is to say it may not work if moved too far from transmitter or if signal must pass thru several walls

O have an outlet box close to where I use the heater so I don't use any extension cord, however, you should be able to use a outdoor extension cord. I would also use a cord lock cover to protect the connection from rain or snow.

I am a bit confused. The unit I received says very firmly not to use it with an extension cord. But as is, the cord is not long enough. Would it be safe to use plugged into this cord: Allied Precision LD16-50 Lockndry Outdoor Indoor 50-Feet Detachable Power Supply Cord, 16 gauge 13-Amp Rating? I have used this with another birdbath heater, but I don't want to do something unsafe.

Yes, i have not tried that but do not see why it would matter how far or short the extension. unit works nicely

Yes, you we'd need an extension cord to power the unit. I had an outlet installed for neatness and not to stumble on the extension cord, regularly.

yes you can. depending on where your outlet is, depends on how long extension cord you need

Wiring in power cord is easily, and allows you to create the lengths (to and from the unit) you want. I cut a stand 14 guage extension cord and placed the control unit between the cut cord segments.

Just read the instructions and they do not say anything about not to use an extension cord. Of course, it should be an outside cord.

Yes, I do once in a while use an extension cord, BUT I recommend it has to be a quality gauge cord to prevent the cord from getting hot. I first used a cheap low grade extension cord . It worked fine but I felt it was warm. I used a heavier duty cord and it was fine...

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.
