Can the 7.5 amp be plugged into a wall outlet? Don't have an outdoor outlet,but was thinking of using an extension cord from my living room.

I plug my Toro snow thrower into an outlet in my garage. No problems. I don't own a power shovel but I can't imagine it would be that much different.

99% sure it will work fine as most indoor outlets are at least 15 amps. You should have no problems.

You can plug it into wall outlet but be sure to buy an extension cord that is at least 16 gauge or better. 14 gauge is better but expensive.

Indoor outlets (except for the bathrooms) rarely have Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFI/GFCI). Outdoor outlets MUST have them, by the National Electrical Code. You would be wise to buy a short plug-in GFCI (or whatever the new model's called) at the hardware store to protect yourself from getting shocked if something happens to the cord outside.

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................

I was able to plug mine directly into the wall outlet in my garage. You could probably ask @ any Lowes or HomeDepot. They were out of this product and the only place I could find it was AMAZON. You could prob ask any lic. plumber as well.

You might be able to use it by itself if the outlet is in the perfect position; I didn't measure it (it's under three feet of snow right now) but I use it with a grounded extension cable from my garage. The electrical resistance isn't so great as to become a safety issue with an extension.

Yes , you can plug it into a wall outlet, however you will need to purchase the adapter. Also, make sure you noticed how you plug in the unit. One side of the plug will make the unit heat and the other cool. I have on occasion plugged in the unit to cool when it is actually heating.

Yes; the plug has a grounding pin, so it needs to be plugged into a grounded wall outlet (a grounding adapter can be used if the wall outlet is not grounded, according to the included instructions). Do not use an extension cord or power strip.

I mounted my unit about 2 feet away from an existing wall receptacle. If I had to use an extension cord, I would use a 13 or 15 amp rated extension cord for this purpose.

I would not recommend this at all. You CAN plug it into a surge strip, but with a high amperage device like a space heater this is a recipe for an electrical fire. You should only plug this directly into the wall outlet and not into anything else that comes between the outlet and heaters cord.

We plugged ours directly into a regular outdoor outlet (via an outdoor extension cord.) It worked beautifully. We received lots of compliments.

No you can't, unless you want to burn down your house! You need 60 amp outlet at the very least. You need a box installed and wired into your breaker box by a professional electrician.

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

I don't know. I plugged mine into the wall and it works great. I took up more than the single space in the outlet so I ran an extension cord to the other space in the outlet.

You would need an adapter. I have an adapter I purchased at Radio Shack that lets me plug in anything just like a household outlet.

More than likely you will need an extension cord. How close you are to an outlet will determine its length. An all weather one is preferable.

You could use it with a power inverter, however you'd need one that puts out at least 770 watts (to be safe, I'd get a little extra, that's assuming exactly 7 Amps of power at 110v AC)

Hello. The current draw of this amplifier is 30 amps. I'm not exactly sure what you plan to do with this amplifier, but keep in mind this amp required +12v DC. It will not work when connected to an 110 volt AC electrical outlet. You will need a 30 amp power supply to provide +12v to this amplifier to work inside a building.

I have mine plugged into a power strip and it works perfectly fine. An extension cord should work just as well.
