Can I plug an electric space heater into this?

If it has 2 prongs. The temperature controller really works best monitoring small confined spaces.

I don't know why not. It is totally insulated. That's just my take on it, not an official electrician opinion.

I use it for my curling iron. I would think it would work with a space heater as well.

Probably not, although there is some possibility you could find a low-voltage power connection. I believe this heater has a 12-volt version, and the connections could be present in the 120-volt version. But there is no way to get in there with a lighter or something like that.

The heater wiring does not extend to the outside of the heater. You would need to have your electrician bring the house wiring into the heater and splice it inside the heater splice box. The splice box is located under the top cover of the heater.

Due to wattage limitations (1000), it's probably unsafe to use with a space heater and could be overloaded.

No but you could buy a power inverter which would change your vehicles 12 volt into 110 volt but you could not run your heater on high.

Hi- I've never used a space heater in mine -- but thinking about it, I would use a very small one....

No. Most electric space heaters range between 500-1800watts, which would exceed the 300watts limit of the Duracell DRPP300 Powerpack!

I would not recommend this switch for your heater. This will not start the heater until it detects movement. Small heaters are best used when there is someone there to insure it doesn't get too hot or possibly ignite something that may have gotten too close to it. From a simply electrical perspective my Westek plug-in has worked perfectly for over two years to turn on and off the lights in the basement playroom.

Yes, as long as an electrician installs the heater. Bear in mind that it uses 1500 watts. At $0.15 a kilowatt, this will be $101 per month. Finally, remember it only heats the surface three-four feet away from the heater, or about 25 square feet.

Yes, but you cannot plug both of these into the same circuit. Mostly meaning you cannot use them in the same room. To be quite honest, I wouldn't bother with these. They use a whole lot of power and are no better than ceramic space heaters. We sent ours back.

You know that this is a 120VAC heater? I think they make 12VDC versions but unless you have an inverter mounted somewhere, this is not going to work.

I believe you can use this thermostat for an electric space heater. This unit is nothing more than a separate thermostat. Kerosene heaters do not have a thermostat, thus it is advertised to be used for that type of heater. However if you have a thermostat on your space heater already, you will have difficulty regulating the temperature.

Depends. The space heater will be the biggest draw. Best thing you can do is get a Kill-O-Watt meter (about $20) and measure each device's peak wattage draw. Add them up and see if they are over 2000 watts.

Yes, you just take it out of the box and plug it in. This heater was a little more expensive than the average space heater, but well worth the money. Works great, and doesn't run non-stop. Turns on and heats the room to the desired setting, then shuts off. Keeps the room nice and toasty!

This heater is designed to be hardwired, you cannot plug this heater in. Out of the box it is shipped to be recessed into a standard 2"X4" wall cavity. I believe there is a accessory piece that you purchase separately to surface mount this heater.
