Can this heater be used in the house in case of power loss?

No. It's sold or made by 'Mr. Heater', but it actually not a heater. Its just a ceiling fan/ light.

You can what you need as long as the wattage in not greater than 3200 watts. Multiple 120 volts X number of amperes of each device to get total wattage demand. For example your refrig requires say 12 amps current so you would be using 1440 watts of power. Four 60 watt light bulbs burning would consume 240 watts, add an electric heater would probably eat up 1500 watts. So, for power outages, you might consider one of twice the wattage. This little generator helped me to power electric chainsaws after several trees were downed. It's a good buy.

Read all four previous posts. Every one of them contains good ideas. I too would be careful running a 2000 watt heater through a conventional wall switch without at least asking an electrician if that's something one should do. drtoom

The heater is made to use under a desk where it would be in close contact. It would not put out enough heat for a room.

This is a point of use water heater. It is not recommended to be used as a whole house heater.

I am not sure, but I think not. I disconnect the power source nightly. So many space heaters cause home fires. I usually do no set it at all. I just turn it on. Why don't you call Honeywell?

I live in Southern California(Hot, so I don't use it often) but from what I can tell it is not a power hog. It will only heat a small room so don't buy it to heat a large communal room. I bought it to heat the bathroom when I use it during winter.

I own this unit and bought it as it was listed under INDOOR heaters. I can't imagine it being safe to use outdoors as it's a simple electrical socket.

I do not run my heaters when I am not home. It's not that they are not safe but they are electric and electricity costs money and if I am not home to benefit from the heaters, why keep them on. If they were your only source of heat, then leave them on. I have had my heaters for about a year now and they work great as substitute heat for my kids rooms and I only turn them on at night and off in the morning.

No this water heater needs to be plugged into an outlet to work, so if the power is out then its useless. If you are looking for one that might work in a power outage try the bosch line. I had an older model bosch that didn't require electricity to operate.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

Not effective in a poorly insulated room or house. I bought three of these and four of the larger 600 watt heaters two years ago. The 400 watt heaters will be given away, but the 600 watt heaters work pretty well in my small bathroom and bedrooms.

Unfortunately, no. This would be a great little heater except for the cost of running it. I'm afraid to use it since it cost me over $100 extra in electricity and I only used it about three hours a day for a week.

I'm running my heater on 110 power. I can't think of any reason why you couldn't run it in an RV. It warms up a small space very well. I love mine! I think it could possibly blow a circuit breaker if you have any other high voltage items going at the same time. I run mine on low most of the time.

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

Might be a good idea to contact manufacturer about that. I am sure it is intended for indoor use to heat a room but you could ask manufacturer to be sure.
