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.
the circuit breaker has low amperes.
Yes, all electric heaters are required to have an emergency circuit breaker which shuts the unit down in the event of overheating.
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.
Yes, electric baseboard heaters can be painted.
Propane heaters have a better rating than electric heaters. This is due to the lower cost of ownership.
Electric water heaters have not carbon monoxide.
One of the advantages of electric heaters over gas heaters is convenience. All homes are equipped with electricity, but not all homes have gas. But there are a variety of types of heaters, such as space heaters, hot water heaters, or furnaces. With electric heaters, there is no risk of becoming overcome with fumes.
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.
Gas heaters are slowly leaving the industry and are being replaced by electric heaters, which are created by Chromalox. However, by using an electric heater, electric bills get expensive.
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.
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.
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.
