Can you use the hound heater with this dog house? How do you install it?

Don't know what hound heater is....so, not sure. This house is made of hard molded plastic; both the bottom and sides as well as roof.

Not sure. I do put a heated pad in mine for the cats and th cord just sticks out front. Don't forget the plastic doors.

I'm sure you can. I use mine for snake heat mats. Just make sure you put the probe in a place where the dog cant move it. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the enclosure and placed the probe inside, with the heat mat under the cage. The probe reads the surface temperature of the cage floor and not of the heat element. I have 3 of these thermostats and they all work really well for animal heating. They are often a few (+-4) degrees off though.

You can hook it up to a garden hose, or we have it inside hooked up to the hot and cold facets where my washer and dryer had been.. If you plan to use inside we used a t water hook up purchased at ace hardware...The bottom part of the hose you get has the female piece....I hope this helps.. I have three dogs and I wish I had purchased this item long ago I love it...

You have to put it in an window, or a hole in the wall that is at the size you need per dimensions on the box. I think this one is not the one with a heating unit on it there is one with heating on it i wanted to get it works good in winter. This is a 220v keep i mind too. ( in other words it can be installed throught the wall if you got a hole to put it in it ).

we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside. This unit should only be used on a timid dog and even then you do not know if it will work until you try it. Unless they have changed this system, the collars to this unit are not adjustable in sensitivity and strength level and our dogs were constantly going thru it. We ended up buying a different system by PetSafe. All PetSafe collars work together so if one collar doesn't work well on your dog another collar will. They all hook up the same way and can be put inside the house or garage. we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside.

I replaced the unit my self and there was a separate wall switch that controled the heater but do not know if a thermosat can be installed in place of the wall switch or not. This sounds more like a question to the manufacture. The other answers sound to me to be more correct.

It looks great but it's absolutely worthless. It might heat a small pup tent. Try a Holmes heater, they're great.

I would not do that at all but, that's my opinion. This unit gets pretty hot. It is designed to radiate heat down. I would buy a heat proof top to sit it on which is what I have. You would never want to burn your animal[s].

I have 4 units-one has been in use in a4x16foot heated dog house since fall///keep in mind the longer use will effect your heating bill/ but seems not to affect the unit

The installation would be very simple. Just make sure the door is large enough for your dog. The one in the picture is NOT the one I got. Mine said large on it. but my dog would have never fit through it.

The heating won't work for this, in my experience. You'll need to buy a more expensive one for that

My experience has been that it is a lot less sensitive to heat than the cheap ones you can get at your local hardware store. My dogs don't set it off like the others would. People and vehicles will make it come on. The instructions call your installation choice a "difficult location". You can turn down the sensitivity, or put part of a mask they supply to more sharply define the area to scan for movement. The instructions also point out proper and improper mounting. One such improper mount is with the sensor above the lights, which will allow the heat of the lights to affect the sensor. Which means if you have people or large animals triggering it frequently, the heat might cause false triggers also. I can only surmise that heat from the condenser blowing upward will have some affect, but how much I don't know. In the middle of summer, its just hot. Mine seems work just fine in the summer on my back porch and I have metal siding. If you are still unsure download the instructions from the RABWEB.com site and search for the model # you are interested in. You can find their contact info at the bottom of the instructions.

Should work fine. I have mine in a dog house. It's 4x8 and 8 feet high. Gets to 40c below here and it keeps it warm in there for my mutt. Walls are press board and there is carpeting in there. It gets warm but if you keep drapes away (like any heater) it will be fine. Make sure the wiring is up to code and get the right voltage thermostat and it works great!!!

I would very carefull using this.Make sure its up high enough that the dog will not come in contact with it as it gets very hot.Also wire it good so that it does not fall and cause a fire.Be careful of water coming into contact with it to.The heat light itself should only be used in a ceramic not plastic lamp.you can buy shop light lamps but they are plastic where you screw it in and they are not as safe.A 150 watt throws off a lot of heat so keep that in mind.I use these in my coops and take all these precautions myself

This is how I did it----and it works perfectly by the way----I bought an inexpensive exhaust chimney set up. 'Goes like this: 1. a rectangular dryer vent housing that fits over the entire top of the L5. I removed the handle from the heater and attached the vent where the screws secure the handle. The vent has a 3" pipe fixture on it. 2. cut a 5" hole in our cabin----through the ceiling and out of the roof in the bathroom----and then took sheet roof flashing and fashioned a tube to use as a heat block from the 3" exhaust pipe going up and out of the cabin. 3. the 3" exhaust pipe and a articulating elbow----fitted to my needs through the roof 4. self sealing rubber chimney flashing----3" of course with----raised to about 2' from the roof. 5. a wire mesh over the chimney, then a chimney cap 6. tar the seams everywhere you can. I hope this helps. I made my assembly with wood trim in the bathroom as well.

Yes you can but I would avoid this heater. Mine like several others quit working shortly after I bought it.
