Does this item require electricity or only a gas connection will suffice?

You only need a gas connection. This does not come with any type of electronic ignition. It's not needed. You light it with a long match or lighter. I Love mine!

You will need the pipe & connections to supply the gas to the unit. I installed a stop valve before the heater and used a flexible hose/pipe to heater. I also used hardie board and a piece of sheet metal on the wall behind, though not required.

You would need to run power to it. They have gas tankless too. More money but cheaper to run than electric. No gas where I live so I went to electric.

It is electric and needs an outlet. I would suggest another brand though...

Nope. It needs to be powered. I could only get one item at a time to work. If I had 2 or more things plugged in, it wouldn't work at all.

No electricity needed. I live in Yuma, AZ and have it installed in my garage, which get's very hot during the summers and so far so good.

I'm not sure, I actually returned it. I didn't realize how much more work it required for installation...I didn't even realize it needed its own outlet (220 volt...even though it's gas). Sorry I couldn't help.

It plug in directly to the outlet. But the one I purchased didn't detect natural gas for me.

No, it needs to be plugged in. However, you can put it on a built in timer so that it is not always using electricity. This is a purchase that holds NO regrets for me. Use it everyday and bought one for our daughters with small children who say that it is invaluable for heating food quickly, warming baby bottles, etc.

Yes, it does require electricity so it is totally worthless if your power goes out.

No there is no electrical connection. You have to put it on a gas stove burner

Yes, because it is not plugged into anything. We have it connected to our propane tank (professionally done).

I would not attempt to use the unit without electricity. The unit works like a forced air heating system. You have the burner train and air is force through the flames to produce heat at the outlet.

You need electricity. It's a diffuser you attach to an air tube attached to an air pump.

NONE - it isn't electric - Not even described as one in the info. about it ~ ~

I would think so, as long as you have a gas value with a on/off switch. Most gas values don't require any power since it operates off millivolts generated via the thermal couple. The remote worksgreat with my direct vent. It acts as a remote switch than has the ability to turn on/off due to what temperature you select. Simple to hook up just follow the programing instructions per directions given.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.
