Can this unit be mounted outside the house, such as a garage or shed?

This model is designed to be mounted indoors, that can be a home, shed or garage as long as it is not outside. Do pay attention to the clearances required for the unit to have enough fresh air tooperate.

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

Do not know the official company policy but I would NOT mount this unit outside without some type of covering.

I am not an expert but based on the RoboReel that I installed on the ceiling of my garage, I would not recommend installing it outside. If snow and ice got into the coiloing area it may freeze the unit and cause the motor to shut off. I use my RoboReel for my snowblower, I just pull the cord outside my garage. Alternatively, you could mount on the exterior ensuring that you have a cover over the unit.

Yes, if the specific unit is made to be mounted outdoors. They make both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor type are typical in my my area (Sierra Mountain) when people do not have access to NG. They mount between the studs and look like an electric panel on the outside that faces the elements....

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

I am not sure why they state that. I place mine on edge of deck which is within 25 feet of human activity without any problems. I think outside of a garage would be fine. Just remember not too close as it attracts bugs. They have an 800 number which I called to see if it could be left out in the rain (yes). Youjust can't leave it out all year as the cold will damage it. Let me know if you want the 800 number. Kat

I don't know...I also bought a mounting bracket from Amazon that is same brand and can either mount to pole or garage. I didn't even end up using it--we made our own mount out of wood.

Yes. We mounted ours outside over the door to the back porch. Works great! We got it mainly as a "doggie door". Keeps the hot out and the cool in. Keeps the bugs out and I can leave the door open enough for the dogs to go in and out. We are very happy with it.

The paperwork says for outdoor use only, but I use it in my shed with no problem. To be safe, don't sleep with it on

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

Yes. We use ours in the garage or outside on a nice day. Manufacturers probably wouldn't recommend outdoor use though

Probably not. It doesnt work if I go outside in my garage (detached) and its right next to my house

Well, yeah. Usually the main unit is mounted on the wall in the house or set on a shelf. The outdoor would be mounted outside, mine is hung on a post under a bird feeder. :o)

Yes, this is for outdoor use only. This must also be hung at least 30-45 feet from your home and at least 5 feet off the ground.

I would not install it outside unless you can cover the unit from the weather.

It can be, but it needs to be sheltered because of the plug/power supply. Ours is mounted to the exterior wall of the house, but well under the roof overhang.
