No. Puraclenz products are small and convenient for versatile, easy to install options. They are designed for use on a tabletop, desk, or bookcase, or can be wall or ceiling mounted, using the built-in mounting bracket and supplied screws. This option is similar to mounting a smoke detector. Only when an existing electrical outlet is not used, a certified electrician can strip the plug off the power cord provided and connect to powerlines that are installed in a UL listed or recognized junction box.
