Could this be wired directly into the circuit breakers on a dedicated circuit?

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

Sure. The power input is just a cable with cigarette lighter on the car-supply end, and medium size coaxial DC plug on at the device. You could easily cut or remove the cigarette plug and wire to a fused *12 Volt DC * power source in the vehicle

If you're talking about an automobile I'm sure you could directly connect to the fuse box and give it his own fuse if you want to spend that much time running wire. As far as running it inside of the house you still need a power supply purchase from them

While I haven't tried it with this unit in particular, I've had success with other units by cutting the adaptor, splicing a wire, and using a vampire jumper connector on the circuit board. That,s how I have my radar detector powered.

Yes. Just be aware of what else is on the breaker that corresponds to where you plug it in. If I run my microwave I have to make sure the heater isn't on the same breaker or it'll trip. Granted, whoever wired this old house wasn't the smartest person.

that would have to be answered by a qualified electrician , mine was hard wired direct to the panel box

Yes.. this unit can be plugged into a standard socket. We do suggest, however that no other appliance is plugged into the same circuit to avoid overload

No way. That requires a much more sophisticated device which is able to syncronize to the mains. Try it with this and something will explode.

It is just a single pole switch, it could be wired through a jumper off one of the switches. It may end up confusing to the end user and would be a non_standard wiring, so you may have to check your local wiring code for legality. Short answer, yes. But as a licensed electrician I would tell you no, based simply on not knowing what your local code would allow. Remember only rig up something without code approval if you can afford the fines, and accept the risk.

I believe it can be, if done correctly by a licensed Electrician. However, wouldn't that deny the use of this units full heating potential; giving away about 1400 Watts worth of heating? I'm not a professional Electrician that you should be asking about this.I think it still would need to be directly wired into the main Electrical box with #10-2 with Ground, or use the 220v pigtail and plug that ships with this unit and wire a matching 240 vac receptical box into your main electrical Breaker Box.

Yes just be aware of what else maybe drawing off the circuit you are looking to add the heater to. Requests a dedicated circuit.

Yes. I wired mine to the existing switch. If you don't have one, just add one inline to your power panel.

I don't think so. It works off of electricity and there's no manual switch available.

That wouldn't be a good idea because you will be removing a built-in protection against electrocution/short circuits and I'm sure it's against the building code. I would find another outlet to replace.

No reason you couldn't. It plugs directly into an outlet so that might be an astetic issue.

As in you want to use this with direct current? You could use adapters for your application, remember to have some sort of breaker in line so you dont destroy anything

Yes and no. Although it would probably work for a bit, it would quickly overload . I'm no electrician but they make travel converters to do that sort of thing..

There is a removable cover on the electrical area, so it should be possible to hard wire it.

I have a central switch that provides 12 V DC. This is the only it'll work.

Yes, but its not recommended! To secure normal electricity flow, better use normal switch
