can this unit be plugged into an extension cord?

Yes, but ONLY IF the extension cord has at least #14 AWG (and preferably, #12 AWG) conductors. "Standard" extension cords using #16 and #18 AWG conductors are NOT up to the current drawn by this heater.

Yes, as long as the cord is 14 gauge or larger. Number 14 wire will handle 1500 watts (max for this heater). 1500 watts = 12.5 amps. 14 wire maximum is 15 amps. But make sure that the plug ends are secure and make a good connection to prevent overheating of the plugs themselves. The cord itself should probably not be longer than 12 feet, to prevent overheating either cord (the heater cord or the extension cord). The manufacture does not recommend using an extension cord, because some people might use a smaller gauge cord and then have an overheating (possible fire) problem. Using the proper cord will not trip a breaker. Yes, as long as the cord is 14 gauge or larger.

It can be plugged into a heavy duty cord with three prongs, but I don't recommend buying this heater, ours died after a few months.

Yes but you need electrical skills. It's not plug and play. You might consider another extension cord to reach the outlet.

Yes, you'll need an electrical plug behind the unit in the fire box....I don't know if the manufacturer would recommend your using an extension cord, even if you could conceal it.....Good luck with it.....

No. This is a stand alone unit. It's a very basic unit that will NOT accept any extension, accessories etc.

All you need is an extension cord to plug into the back of it. It doesn't come with any cord.

I didn't use an extension cord, so I really don't know. Looking at both ends of the wire, I don't know if you could use an extension.

Yes you can as long as extension cord is grounded. Go to your hardware store and get cord that has grounding. it will work just fine.

Can they be plugged into a dedicated extension cord that is not a power strip or surge protector?

As long as the extension cord can accept a three-prong plug, I don't see why not. Of course, this charging station is designed to look nice plugged into the wall!

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.

No, its an electric plug in. You need an outdoor extension cord to run it and a convenient outdoor electric outlet.

Cord length is standard -5 or 6 ft. Yes you can use an extension cord with it.

Yes you can add the Surge to an extension cord, Just be sure to use a heavy duty extension cord with the ground pin

This unit isn't battery powered. Don't know why they don't show the cord in the picture. You need to plug it in to a wall socket. :-)

Not directly, no. But it's easy if you just get a good quality extension cord long enough to reach the wall outlet, cut off the female end, split the two wires (carefully remove the rubber coating exposing the wires) and use plastic twist plugs and black electrical tape to connect them to the wires on the light unit. That's what I did several years ago; I placed it above a tall (9') bookcase and plugged it into a power strip that plugs into the wall outlet; it still works great.

Yes it could plug into wall socket or be used with extension cord, but has no USB connection.

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