“Can I use an extension cord with this heater? What type?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• You cannot use *most* extension cords due to the current draw. However, internal house wiring for a 20A circuit (most house circuits are 15A) is AWG12. So an extension with 12 gauge wire, or better yet 10 gauge, will be fine. And expensive.

• I would never recommend using an extension cord with any electric heating device. It is a huge fire hazard !

• Thank you for your inquiry. We cannot advise using an extension cord with this heater, as it draws 1500 watts and 12.5 amps and most extension cards cannot handle this amount of power. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you.
