Are these for indoor too? Im looking for something that plugs in and has a small, replaceable mat which is heated by the electricity. thanks

I use mine often while hunting. The vent on the unit above the heating mat gets warm, almost hot to the touch. Smoke emits from the top, and there is a pleasant smell. If used inside, I would have it near an open window.

I suppose you could use them indoors; however, they do not plug into anything. They are powered by a butane cartridge.

I would not use these indoors. They would smell quite potent in a confined space. You may want to check with the manufacturer.

You could use it indoors but, I wouldn't recommend it. I use mine strictly outdoors and for indoor I bought the IRIS Plastic Exercise/Containment Pet Pen,8 Panels, I love it. Easy to use and configure, store away and doesn't scratch up my hardwood floors. I bought both on Amazon.

The clamp can be attached to a ground or removed and the plug underneath it, inserted into the ground of an electrical outlet. Additionally, I used an anti-static wrist strap clamped to the mat, so that I was then grounded. You might get away with being on carpet and grounded but I would not chance it. Use the mat (and an anti-static wrist strap) on a table, counter top or work bench where you don't have to stand on carpet, a prime source for static electricity.

I use these inside. They are hard wired in my house and come on when the electricity goes off. Problem is if the elecctric goes off during the day they don't last until it gets dark and there is no way to cut them off and save the battery until night. But if it goes off at night these lights stay on about 4 hours. Alow for getting down stairs etc. They don't look like they are for use outside. They only come on when the electricity goes off.

This is a line voltage thermostat which means that it can be attached directly to the device that it is controlling, without the use of a transformer. I'm assuming your warming mats are 110 volts. I've changed out my bathroom heater timers for these thermostats and they are much more efficient than timers. One drawback of using a thermostat is that it possible to forget that the thermostat has been set after the bathroom has warmed from the heater and the shower.

There is no electricity to the mat at all, so no source of fire exists. It simply reflects their own body heat. It would be perfectly safe to use anywhere.

I think these are for indoor use only. I believe there is another version available for outdoor use.

No the mat did not work at all for me. Look for something you can plug into the wall that the battery fits in. Not sure what its called but I have seen them. Don't waste you're money on this mat. Good luck

I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords. Although they said not to use extension cords, the mats come with extremely short little cords and you really don't have a choice. I plugged one into the top outlet with the temperature sensor and the other plugged into the bottom of the outlet. It is a regular house current and the breaker is either 15 or 20 amps and never tripped. If you have a unique situation you may need to consult an electrician. The rugs worked great for us, but wished they were a little bigger with longer cords in relationship to the cost.

Yes I have it indoors.Only thing no rubber feet so if you are using on tile or wood you would need to protect your floors.I got some furniture sliders the ones for chairs and used them. Works just fine.

What batteries? You are talking about the heated foot mat? There are no batteries.

Hi Debbie. The answer is yes. Mine has been plugged in for 3 years now and I did not see any appreciable increase in my electric bill the first few months I used it. (I have an extra on stand-by when this one finally gives out) Also, when the pet is not on the mat the temperature decreases to very low only to be increased to 102 or so degrees with the pressure of the pet when it returns. This is the best and my outside kitties have spent many freezing nights in their warm box with the mat on which to sleep. Initially these were feral cats which allowed me to care for them from a safe distance. Loved the opportunity to domesticate them. And I also had a mat for my inside kitty as well who loved her bed just as much as the outside critters. I think this was the best purchase I've made for a pet. Wish I'd known about it when my other kitties were still alive. I'm sure a pup would appreciate this mat as well as any older animal. Can't praise this product enough!

It heats continuously, but a very low, subtle heat. For our purposes, using it in a small modified dog house for our cats, it was perfect. The inside of the house stayed a bit warmer when the mat was plugged in. I believe the pad might become warmer when it's being used.

I used mine inside the house because of the weather vs. electronics. No they are for inside. If you weather proof them like I did and put them inside a water tight PVC tube with PVC cap on the end they will be okay.

They are attractive enough for indoor, but need something under them to catch the drainage. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor. I prefer them indoors because they are very attractive.

Hello, yes it is safe to use on an electric bed the mat (sheet) will not interfere with it. The products only plug into the ground port, they do not use any electricity.
