Check the amp rating of the heater and do the math. Electric heaters pull A LOT of current, so I'm guessing you'd be near the 50amp max.

Why does the circuit breaker controlling the electric heaters in the fan coil occasionally trip?
the circuit breaker has low amperes.
Is the an electric heater with auto shut-off?
Yes, all electric heaters are required to have an emergency circuit breaker which shuts the unit down in the event of overheating.
How many electric heaters on 20 amp 240 volt circuit?
You can have a total of 3600 watts. NEC requires you to use only 75% of circuit breaker, therefore on a 20 amp breaker you can use up to 15 amps.
Can electric baseboard heaters be painted?
Yes, electric baseboard heaters can be painted.
Are propane heaters better than electric heaters?
Propane heaters have a better rating than electric heaters. This is due to the lower cost of ownership.
Does electric water heaters have carbon monoxide?
Electric water heaters have not carbon monoxide.
Two 100 watt heaters are to be connected in paralleto a 115 V source Will a 20 A circuit breaker be able to carry current without tripping Justify answer?
Certainly, 100Watt of power requires only about 1 A at 115V However, if you made a typo and intended to say two 1000 Watt heaters Then I would use a 25A. The 20A breaker would be ok, but will be on the cusp of tripping as the current would be closer to 18A. The typical 14AWG wiring in a house can carry up to 32Amps safely as a result the maximum circuit breaker to use would be 25Amps <<>> In the above answer it is stated that a #14 wire will carry up to 32 amps. This is completely false. A #14 wire is only rated at 15 amps. To carry 32 amps safely you would need to use a #8 wire which is three wire sizes larger that a # 14.
Were there electric heaters in 1940?
Yes there was I can find records of electric heaters as early as 1880's and some records show that electric heaters had become "practical" by 1892.
How many feet of electric base board heat will run on a 15amp breaker?
Since baseboard heaters come in many different wattages vs. lengths I guess the best answer would be, you can load up to 2880 watts of baseboard heaters on a 15 amp two pole breaker at 240 volts.
What size wire and breaker is needed to wire an electric garage heater?
Electric garage heaters come in several sizes. A 1500 Watt 120 volt plug in heater would need a 15 amp circuit with 14 gauge wire for temporary use. A 5000 watt 240 volt heater would need a dedicated 25 amp circuit breaker and a 10 gauge wire. Every home is different and this is intended as a general reference only. Seek competent professional advice for your specific application.
How many 8.5 amp's heaters could be installed on a 50 amp circuit breaker?
Remember that the breaker protects the wire size. You would have to use a #6 wire to operate the heaters. To find out how many heaters that can be connected, divide 50 by 8.5 amps.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How many baseboard heaters can you put on a 2 pole 15 amp breaker?
Usually only one heater can be operated on a 15 amp branch circuit. <<>> In North America the total wattage from a two pole 15 amp breaker is Watts = Amps x Volts = 15 x 240 = 3600 watts. Baseboard heaters are considered a continuous load so the circuit can only be loaded to 80% capacity. 3600 x 80% = 2880 watts. So to answer the question, up to 2880 watts can be loaded on to a circuit fed from a two pole 15 amp breaker.
Are electric baseboard heaters safe for pets and babies?

Do electric fan heaters and an electric oil column heaters both produce the same heat for the same power input?
yes
Do heaters increase humidity?
Older style kerosene heaters do increase humidity. Electric heaters do not - they tend to reduce humidity.
Does Rheem manufacture both gas and electric water heaters?
"Rheem does manufacture both gas and electric water heaters. Rheem currently offers 18 different varieties of gas water heaters and 9 different varieties of electric water heaters. Both types of Rheem water heaters are known for their rigorous standards, reliability, and efficiency."
Are oil space heaters better than electric heaters?
An oil filled electric space heater produces a more "even" heating without the hotspots that standard electric space heaters can produce. Also it is not possible for something poked into the oil filled electric space heater to touch the electrical heating element wires as is possible in standard electric space heaters (which would shock you).
Where can one look for different electric baseboard heaters?
I am renewing my heater system because it is old. Where can I get more information on electric baseboard heaters?
120 volt or 240 volt electric heat?
240V is much more effecient, and you can put more heaters on a 20 amp circuit than you can a 120V.

What device close or breaks the circuit?
There are a number of devices that break a circuit. On motor circuits an overload block opens the circuit when the motor's current goes above the motor's nameplate rating. Likewise a fuse or a breaker will open a circuit when the current goes above their rated limit. In home wiring circuits the home devices are controlled by a simple on- off switch. Electric heating circuits are controlled by thermostats that regulate the heaters by opening and closing the heater's supply voltage.
