It burns propane and creates carbon monoxide. I would not use anywhere that is unventilated.

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.

Yes you can use it in the house. On the back of the unit it has the plug that flips our so you just plug it into the wall outlet.

The home in which I currently live unfortunately has power outages pretty regularly. I have never lost any information or connectivity after the power has been successfully restored.

It is considered to be safe. It has a nice scent but could be overpowering in the house. I would for sure use it in a garage and possibley a basement if it has decent ventilation. It is a fantastic product!

Yes, I do feel safe leaving said product on will not at home. As a design engineer of switch mode power supplies there not much to the circuit that that can lead to a hazardous condition, but they can fail. The fixture is all metal and certified by ETL. ETL is like UL or CSA. Use it safely and you should not have a problem.

Yes safe inside homes and around pets. Do not put it in your kitchen or where you prepare food.

I wouldn't use this product during a thunderstorm unless I was inside the house. Then, make sure you have at least one finger grounded to the dispenser with at least a 10 gauge copper wire wrapped around your thumb. Do not stick it where you might think, and do not rotate.

It is really not recommended for use like that, but the worst that could happen is the breaker on your generator would trip from overload. Give it a try?????

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. �

i didn't try it on a 24/7 basis. my suggestion is you can try to plug also with a surge protector so that it will protect you home.

I recommend asking the question directly from the manufacturer or check their website. Sorry I have used it only for indoor purposes.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

Dear SFL, I have used it indoors once during a power outage nin LA, I took all the precautions as when using it ourdoors and then some, such as making sure doors and windows are open for ventilation, no flammable objects at least 3 ft away, kept flame as low as possible, and did not leave stove unattended during use, furthermore I had a fire extinguisher close by just in case, in short, it is not recommended to use it idoors, but not ruled out either during an emergency. Hope my 5 cents help.Regards, Manuel

This type question, for me, would go directly to the manufacturer only because I am a real coward when it comes to things electric. If it were not for burning the house down, I would try it. Shucks, I'd try it anyhow, but check with my insurance carrier first. I do not have the packaging handy; however, if there were a safety possibility, it should say. My recollection is that if you are replacing an existing electrical outlet with the Skylink and do not exceed the permitted power limitations, you are going to be o.k.. But please check with them.
