Yes it needs to be plugged in to a regular household outlet. It has both an electronic ignition and a blower fan for the heat exchanger.

It doesn't have a plug. It's designed to be wired directly to a 120v thermostat which is then wired to a source with standard house electrical wire. It's either off or on with the thermostat. It does not draw power when off.

This heater uses EITHER propane or natural gas. There are TWO inlets - one for each. It definitely works when the power is out, it has a pilot light and the temperature control is not electrical.

It's designed to be plugged in. I think it has a battery but it's only for when the power goes out.

Yes it runs the electronic thermostat and electronic ignition. Needs to be near an outlet. Still saves us money.

It is a 240 volt device and requires a separate 30 amp circuit. It can be hard-wired or it can have the appropriate plug-in connector and cable connected to it. Consult your licensed electrician for installation. It is a very good heater, raising the temperature of my 3-car garage to a comfortable level in about 2 hours. The only thing that is a little wrong with it is that the fan is a little noisy until the room comes up to temperature and the thermostat shuts it off. A very good unit overall in a very small package.

This heater requires 120VAC to operate. It has a standard 120 volt plug with short cord.

Yes, it is a plug in. I am not sure of the voltage but I live in a trailer and it works fine. I set it on a certain temp and it clicks on and off as needed. Love the heater.

I don't actually know what the current draw is of this water heater is but it does plug into an outlet. The only reason mine is hooked up as a separate circuit is that I had to install a separate outlet for it to plug into.

I believe you need the batteries to activate the ignition, I highly recommend this product, buy a 40 pound bottle, using the 2 1 pound bottles will only last about 6 to 8 hours. but I would recommend it for emergency heat, or for heating a small space. I would give this heater 5 stars.

Yes, it has to be plugged in. It does not come with a battery adapter. I had an outlet on my porch within reach, but most people probably need to use an extension cord.

somewhat it has a plug and i just installed a double junction box with one side having a timer switch which is connected to an outlet , which i then plug the heat bar into

No Eric - you need to but a plug in thermostat be careful of your electrical system - I burned out the circuit using this heater and had to re wire that room and put it on it's own breaker - my house is 100 yrs old and still had some hidden nob & tube wiring which I feel contributed to the problem - ever since the new wire is in no problems

The unit does not have a battery. Pushing the start button causes a spark to ignite heat source.

I have mine in the pump house plugged into a thermo-cube outlet that turns on at 35 F and off at 45F. I have the heater set at 750W and low and it works fine.
