Is this unit corded for 240v or does it have to be hard wired? I have both 120 and 240 available but want a unit that is ready to plug in.

It has instructions so that you can wire it either way. You have to purchase the required cord separately.

No cord comes with it, you have to get one or you can hard wire it, knockout on the side. Can be wired for 120 or 240 V just have to switch a wire or two on the inside, easy. We use these for well houses.

It's 240V. Heater should be on an individual, dedicated circuit. It is hard wired. I purchased a Dryer Power Cord (about 6 ft), hard wired at the heater unit and plugged into a dryer style outlet that I had installed in my garage. You could also hard wire directly from the wall junction box to the heater. Any wiring to the heater must be 2 conductor metallic sheath (BX) cable with ground wire, per the installation instructions.

I'm pretty certain it is only 120V. I did not see a switch or any indication that it can be changed to 240V.

I connected using 120 volt power. It was simple - I bought a 16 gauge electric appliance replacement cord from Home Depot and wired it directly into the box. After that, all you have to do is to plug it in!

Its labeled 120 volt household current, so I wouldn't go changing the plug or using an adapter for a 240 volt receptical. Hope that helps.

It needs to be hard wired. However, if you want to plug it into the wall you can buy a plug at a hardware store to convert it.

Ours came wired with a 120V grounded plug. Do not try to plug it into a 220V.

The unit has a power cord with a standard grounded plug. You could cut it off for a hard wired installation, but the plug works for me. Great unit, I have two now!

If you read the description you'll see that it's 110/220 volts... It will arrive wired for 110 volts, read the re-connection directions to wire it for 220 volts... Be advised,,, this unit IS TOP HEAVY!!! Use care when moving it!! Don't ask me how I know !!! Gene

I'm almost positive that you can use the cord for both 120v 240v I use it on a 120v .its all the way you set up your room if you want to use 240v you just run a heavy gauge wire from your dryer . You might have to switch the pigtail on the cord.but if you do use 240v it cheaper to run the ballest. Hope I can help you .

This is a 240 volt unit. It requires higher voltage wiring (can't just use a normal 110 volt plug in). It doesn't come with a "plug". It's intended to be hardwired from your household electrical breaker box directly to the unit, although a pigtail could be added for plugging in to a dryer style receptacle (for portability and quick disconnect purposes). An electrician is highly recommended...

This unit must run on a dedicated 220 line; the line is made for that and will not fit in a regular outlet. We are very pleased with this unit.

Mine is specifically a 110vac unit. Hooking it up to 240vac would smoke it. Without going thru another transformer I do not see it being able to work.

Well technically yes... But the electrical prong is different from ours here... And if you change it... It will work but you need to get a step down transformer to bring it down to 120 volts.... So it's just easier to buy a 240 volt unit... Much easier.

Hi Cyrus. Yes, it is 120-240 volts so it is electrically compatible all over the world. To be physically compatible, either carry a universal AC adapter (best) or you can change the power cord to have a local plug. The power cord is a fairly common twin-wire appliance cord. Another option, for Germany, France, Spain, and some others is to purchase the item on amazon.de. You'll get a compatible cord. Cost is similar to http://amazon.com.

If you purchase from a source in an area with 220 it should come wired for it, otherwise, you will need a transformer.

Hi,The unit I got is 240V, 20 Amps. Pretty easy to wire and so far has worked very well. It is a bit noisy but you get used to it.Rod
