This unit has a place for a ground wire on the side, is one necessary if it is installed inside?

Not 100% sure, but I think it would be grounded once you plug it into an oulet or even better a surge protector.

I would ground it if you can. It probably won't hurt to leave it floating, but generally a grounded enclosure will offer more noise protection and safety.

I would not say it is necessary for indoor installations, but I would recommend if possible.

The unit is set up for a rear connection. There is no access for a side connection. If you choose to install it as a side connection it may look displaced.

Easy if you are replacing the old ones, 2 wires and a ground wire. If this is a new install, as opposed to a replacement, you will probably need the services of an electrician. We love ours.

I put one in the garage for the outside lights and did not ground it. I just screwed it to the box. It worked just fine.

You will need it hard wired by an electrician. It works very well when installed and doesn't take up much wall space.

The auxillary hook up is in the back side, the place that installed my unit hooked it up when he installed it

the unit has a built in outlet cord that is built into the on/of/thermostat unit. The thermostat unit is sealed. An electrician might be able to tie into the unit from the outlet cord. The cord plug is two pronged. There is no ground wire.

You don't need to ground it. It is power in/power out. You ground what ever you are powering thru the block.

If you mount the antenna outside, yes, you will need to ground it. Look up grounding kits. If you mount it inside an attic, like I did, no grounding necessary.

Yes. It has been installed for a few weeks at the time of this writing, but I would've remembered if it did not have ground wire. We are still very happy with this chandelier.

Hi Patrick no, the unit is more for replacement i used my existing wiring and air tube. hope this helps ?

Not necessary if you leave the wiring hanging out of the drywall if new construction at your desired locations. If existing construction not needed at all.

YES. Your power wire is big enough to use as a ground wire. Use one solid piece of wire for your ground, do NOT splice two wires together.

Yes. It should be installed in the ground with only the breather and outlet with union above the ground.

Connect the ground you have screwed to the heater to the supply ground. The thermostat doesn't need a ground but the heater does.

Older installations won't have a matching ground wire. The ground wire is for safety, but not strictly necessary. Simply cap it off as you do the other leads and be very careful none of the wrong wires touch each other when you push the box in.

Since it uses the power lines to communicate (not wireless), it's probably essential to have the ground wire. Booklover might have the problem with the basement due to a separation of the grounding.
