What type of plug does this unit plug into the wall with. Is it 3-prong or 2-prong. My house only has outlets for 2-pronged cords.

Hi David, unlike your house I do have 3 pronged outlets. I know you could get the juice to flow by uasing a 2 into 3 prong converter (mostly gray in color) and are cheap to purchase....BUT I AM NOT sure about the surge protection working, I would call Belkin....

It plugs into a 3 prong outlet. I has indicators to tell if the outlet is grounded too.

It has three 2-pronged sockets. You'll need to get a grounded-socket adapter for 3-pronged plugs.

Mine is a regular two prong AC wall plug type. It would plug into any U.S. standard 120 volt outlet.

All 6 sockets are 3 prong. Also the back has one 3 prong "active" plug (which is all that's needed to give the unit current); the second plug is three prong but plastic--simply to hold the unit in the wall socket.

I don't remember if it uses a three prong. but you if you need an extension cord for the unit, you should get a a heavy duty electrical extension chord like the one you would use for an air conditioner or a 15 to 20ft electrical chord and these extension chords are three pronged and they work fine with the heater. If your outlet is not three pronged, you can always go the hardware store and get an 2 pronged outlet adapter : Coleman Cable 9901 3-Prong To 2-Prong Adapter, Grounding Outlet Converter, 2-Pack

It has a 3 prong, 7 foot heavy duty cord which I plug directly into the wall. I'd recommend use of a heavy duty extension if an extension is necessary.

It plugs into the wall. For some reason the cord is removable from the unit as well.

If you are in the US it has a standard wall plug without the ground, so the plug has two prongs.

It just plugs into the wall outlet. I hope that is helpful. Maybe I'm not understanding, let me know.

Two prong is fine as long as it's polarized which I believe all cords are these days. I just cut an extension cord in half and stripped the bare wires back. The wire that goes to the larger size plug is the ground so be sure to get that right when connecting to the unit.

The answer is no. It has the standard 3-prong plug. It worked OK for me, but I let the furniture stay out from the wall a bit. The unit is just great otherwise. I would buy a 90 deg. replacement plug and exchange it.

The cord is located on the right lower bar and if you know how I'm sure you can cut the plug off and replace with another one. Ours is plugged straight into the wall, has a three-prong plug.

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

Yes, prongs are standard and fit into a standard 3 prong wall socket BUT the body surrounding the plug is a 2 x 3 inch 90 degree plug. You would use the lower wall socket to plug the AC into and then a standard (for instance lamp cord plug) into the upper wall socket. The reason the AC unit plug is large is because it contains a safety shut-off mechanism in the body to protect unit from electrical overloads that could create shorts / fires. Check the specs because the electrical socket must be 15 amps. This is pretty standard. It is a nice unit. We really enjoy ours..

The plug that I received had a three-pronged plug (for the plug that goes into the wall). So it had the grounding prong, if that's what you're asking about.

It has both three-pronged input and plugs to go into the wall socket, and my rudimentary understanding of current Code standards is that the third prong is the grounding plug, but "fully grounded" is a function of how well your wall socket is grounded -- in other words, if you plug a three-pronged plug into a three-pronged wall socket, but the wall socket is not properly grounded, whatever device you have plugged in is not "fully grounded".
