I would like to insert this into a space in my existing oak enterainment center, and use it as a heater occasionally. Insulation requirements?

The manual states to keep combustibles 3 feet away from front and also keep combustibles away from sides/back. It says not to use in a "wardrobe."

It is not insulated if that is what you are asking. In the winter I put an outside furniture cover over it and place a small electric heater inside for my cats. I use a heater that if it falls or turns over will shut off automatically. I am happy with the dog house and it serves the purpose I for which I bought it.

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower. In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

It has small vents on one side plus the floor u just set in so u should get some ventilation there., also the door can remain open n has bars on top &#128285; half of the door. I'm sure u can add extra insulation, I contacted them to ask if I could add a water sealant to it n they said it was fine. Hope &#128591; this helps. Good luck! If u look more on amazon I think there's a cooling pad/bed for dogs.

Oh I really don't think so, the cover is not water tight and has vents for heat to escape.... I'm sure if installed in a cold weather area it would freeze up... It's a fine indoor product and has saved us money on our water bill, and a little on our gas bill... Electric bill went up 3 dollars a month...

The unit is not insulated and there is not an exterior cover that can be bought. I found though it maintains its temperture even in cold winter weather so that should not be an issue.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

I have it in an outbuilding with a finished upper level. We are in Michigan, worked perfectly last winter, kept the building (832 sqft down, 512 sqft up) very comfortable. We watch television upstairs directly over the heater, up there noise not an issue. In the open space where heater is, acceptability of noise level and air movement would be subjective (not objectionable to me).

Might be a good idea to contact manufacturer about that. I am sure it is intended for indoor use to heat a room but you could ask manufacturer to be sure.

I would recommend you use 2 600W heaters for such a big room that is not insulated at all. These heaters are the safest available ones and this supplier is the only to offer 600W. If I were you I would purchase 3 600W heaters and install them around the room

No insulation in the walls at all. Maybe good in Florida or California, but not good under temp 45 or below. It is very light weight plastic so if you get strong winds it can blow over.

I don't know why not. It is totally insulated. That's just my take on it, not an official electrician opinion.

I would.use plywood, or several pieces of wood that fit the depth of your window sash. Remember to also seal the wood, and provide insulation on at least the outside. It would also be prudent to install several security mesures to prevent entry, or theft of the AC unit. Some.simple window locks, and bar woild be a good start. This unit uses a lot of power, so look at how much power you have on the circuit alreaty.

I think it would heat up the space nicely. I have mine in a drafty old barn and I can get a 30 degree difference overnight between outside temps and inside when the doors are closed.

Installation instructions are included with the product. It is not rated for insulation contact.

We didn't buy it for an insert in an existing fireplace,we use it under a desk(the opening where the desk chair rolled out of the way). It is used as supplementary heat source when we don't want to run the central heat.

Yes with good insulation in the square footage allowed yes. Insulate your pipes as well. This heater blows good heat. I used it in my living room.
