   The product comes setup for a 240/208V HARDWIRE application (no cord). I made a trip to the local hardware store and purchased a 14 ga. grounded power supply cord, some 14 ga. wire nuts, and wired it for 120V as provided in the instructions that came with the unit. Setup was simple, as defined in the product description.

   This heater is very useful. I altered the wiring from 220 to 120, but for those of you who “do it yourself” make sure to follow the diagram. I am a “DIY” and not an electrician. Moreover to stop it from generating heat above 40 or so, just turn the nob on (just past the click) and leave it. If you feel heat coming from the heater in an above 40 temperature, you went too far. This can keep your electric bill down!

   Drilled a new well. I mounted this on the wall of the inside of the well house. I went to Home Depot and bought a heavy duty cord with plug attached. I easily wired the heater for use with 110 outlet. The heater works well. I have had it installed for 3 weeks. On the lowest setting, which is just above “off”, it keeps my well house at 45 degrees. It has been in the single digits and below here. I put a thermometer in the well house far from the heater. I checked it twice a day for the first week. Even when it was -3, the well house was 40. If its around 28 outside, its 45 in the well house. Works perfectly. I don’t want a heater that keeps it too warm in there because it is not necessary and it costs too much. This was made for a well house and does its job. I’m very happy with this heater. I have had no issues at all. I no longer check it. It’s and install and forget it heater.

   Works as advertised, however it should be made more clear that it does not come “plug-in” ready. This was a disappointing surprise and we had to wire the plug on. It does work well now.

   If you read all the print in the advertisement, then everything is correct. The unit is capable of working at 110/200/230 Volts, but comes wired for 200/230 Volts, it is simple to rewire internally and the instructions are clear. There is no power cord to plug it in, this has to be obtained and wired into the unit. There is no cable gland to fit in the exit hole for the cable, this also has to be obtained and installed. It arrives with two cover screws holding the cover to the base and the other four screws, that are required, in an included packet. Getting the six cover screws installed was the most difficult part for me, the cover and base did not align well. This heater would be expensive for what it is at half the price; to be fair, it works perfectly and it is as described and as shown in the picture. It does not arrive as a plug in and use item.

   I bought this for my well house to keep it from freezing. It hasn’t gotten that cold since I got it so I cannot verify it’s performance. However, be aware that it comes wired for 220V and you have to rewire it for 120 volt service. That means changing some wires inside it and adding your own pigtail. If you are not reasonably comfortable with doing electrical work, you might need an electrician to wire it in. Otherwise, it is basically an electric baseboard heater and should keep a small space warm enough to not freeze.

   We have three 5-acre lots and a pump house on each one. I purchased one of these heaters to try it out. It worked great in the one pump house I installed it in. I decided to buy two more and installed them in the other pump houses. They work great to keep the rooms above freezing (stay at 40-degrees). After years of using flood lights to keep the pipes warm, this is MUCH better and so worth the cost.

   This was used for a pump house and served it’s purpose only complaint was the thermostat didn’t have a temperature Gage so u could set it to your liking. Had to use a thermometer to keep checking to see what the temperature was. Easy installation as well.

    I had gone through several “milk house” heaters in my 4×6′ pump house. They seemed to never last more than a few months. Either they’d quit working or the thermostat would stick and temp would rise to 100 degrees! I installed this heater and it’s been reliable all winter season! I’ve got it on the lowest setting and I’m maintaining 47 – 50 degrees all the time. Don’t think twice about the price…just get one and you’ll never worry about keeping your pump house warm again!

    I put this in our pumphouse and I don’t have to worry about it. Every time I’ve checked it’s warm.

    I found out this heater wasn’t working after my well house pipes burst.
