Can a 30A dedicated circuit for a heater have the heater removed and the circuit used for lighting?

Yes provided the voltage is compatible.


Can you use a none dedicated outlet for a space heater for a short period of time?

Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.


What is a AARL strip circuit?

does the bypass valve on elution heater be open or closed


Why does the fuse box in my house make a clicking noise when the heater clicks on?

The clicking noise you are hearing could be the heater is overloading the breaker and it is on the verge of tripping This could be caused by the heater being to large for the circuit. Check the amperage rating on the heater and the rating on the breaker It also cold be the circuit breaker is going bad and needs to be replaced by a qualified electrician These are 2 possible answers you also could have a bad (loose) electrical connection some where in the circuit


If a 1500W heater tripped the GFCI outlet and took out a few outlets do you need to rewire those outlets if they're still dead?

Did you reset the GFCI? Any outlet attached to the GFCI's load (output) will not work if the GFCI has no power/is inoperable.The water heater could have a neutral-to-ground short, a type of fault which would be not have shown up on a circuit having no GFCI. That would be a good reason to scrap the water heater if it cannot be fixed! Anyway the best advice is to call in an electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater.Take the water heater off of that circuit! Nothing else should be on that circuit, and call a electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater!!! 1500watts divided by 120 volts is 12.5 amps.Always be sure to switch off the breakers at the main panel before you attempt to do any work on any mains power circuit.
