Can the heater be plugged in to a corded surge strip or does it have to be plugged directly into a wall outlet?

I would not recommend this at all. You CAN plug it into a surge strip, but with a high amperage device like a space heater this is a recipe for an electrical fire. You should only plug this directly into the wall outlet and not into anything else that comes between the outlet and heaters cord.

I plug it into a heavy-duty surge strip but I am not certain that is the way to do it.

Yes , you can plug it into a wall outlet, however you will need to purchase the adapter. Also, make sure you noticed how you plug in the unit. One side of the plug will make the unit heat and the other cool. I have on occasion plugged in the unit to cool when it is actually heating.

The extension cord is rated for 15amp maximum current with a internal circuit breaker of 15 amps. If you choose to plug in any device(s) the maximum total amperage should be less than 15 amp. Look at the max. current your heater draws. It is always safer to plug in heaters directly to an outlet.

It can be plugged into a standard 110volt wall socket. No electrical work required

It needs to be wired. You could wire a plug end to it with an SO cord if you would like but it needs to be bolted to keep the heater coil stable.

I would recommend against doing so. Any type of power strip - with or without a surge protector - is usually used for smaller electronic loads. Larger high-powered loads such as heaters draw a lot more current on a continuous basis. They can overheat or overload many power strips or surge protectors unless the surge protector, strip and cord are all rated for heavy duty use. This unit also would not benefit from surge protection the way that sensitive electronics would.

yes, it plugs into wall outlet. Been using it for many years. Best nightlight I ever have.

It does not need to be plugged into the wall. It can be plugged into extension cord. That would work.

You can choose either way. I've done both. I like the versatility of plug in, although it is 220 volts so you need a 220 outlet wherever you choose to put it. I have one in my basement and one in my garage so I can move the heater when I'm in one or the other place. I'm usually not working in both spaces at the same time.

It can be plugged into an outlet; no electrician required. Easy to install, a great lamp (we have 2)

Hi Jack & Janet. Yes, the unit I purchased has a power supply cord which can plug directly into a standard wall socket. By the way, I have used the item many hours and it works fine.

The plug directly into the wall outlet. I had no luck with them and would not recommend them.

does this come with a power cord for a wall plug or doses unit need to hard wired in?

I think it says not to so I juggled my outlets around and did it without using a strip,then I did plug one into an outlet extender which is essentially a power strip at the wall outlet. It's been fine.

No! Mine almost caught on fire and it melted the power strip and my wall outlet. It says in the manual not to plug it into a power strip, but I didn't see that until it was too late.

It plugs into a regular outlet. It is a two prong not three.120v. 900 heating watts and the FIR equivalent of 1800 thermal watts. The product really is not worth your money. In all good conscience I really suggest you don't invest.
