A heater really should never be connected to a power strip or surge suppressor. There have been numerous reports and articles telling of damage or failure to the power strip from overheating, too high a current draw. Regarding an extension cord, I urge you to search the topic to learn why or why not to use one, and what you need to look for if you do. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this unit cannot be plugged into an extension cord or power strip due to the amount of current that it pulls. The more connections, the more resistance and resistance produces heat that can cause a fire or a failure of the unit.
