Will 14-2 wire accompdate 2 1500watt baseboard heaters 240 volt?
No, 14-2 wire is not suitable for two 1500-watt baseboard heaters on a 240-volt circuit. Each 1500-watt heater draws approximately 6.25 amps, totaling about 12.5 amps for both. However, 14-gauge wire is rated for a maximum of 15 amps, which is close to the limit and does not provide a safe margin. It is recommended to use 12-gauge wire, which is rated for 20 amps, to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
Why are electric heaters 100 percent efficient?
Electric heaters are close to 100% efficient because they convert all the electricity they consume into heat energy. Unlike combustion-based heaters that lose energy through exhaust gases, electric heaters release all the energy as heat directly into the room. This high efficiency makes electric heaters a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for heating spaces.
Is an electric hot water heater 100 percent efficient?
No, but close to it.In regards to just the heating of the water, Tank-type, and tank-less, electric water heaters are about 99% efficient* because the heating elements are immersed in water, and little energy is wasted between heat source and water.However, all tank-type water heaters loose heat from their reservoirs (tanks). This heat loss lowers the overall efficiency.Most electric heaters fall between 90-95% total. This is the number that is usually reported by the manufacturers.* Efficiency is not the same as cost savings. For example electric heaters have higher efficiency, but cost more to operate than same-size gas water heater. Also tankless gas heaters, gas water heaters with blowers, and gas heaters with high recovery may claim higher efficiency, but they consume more fuel per hour of operation.Additional Information:Efficiency of heating elements does not consider inefficiencies in production, transmission, refining, and delivery of electricity. Estimates say coal-fired power plants waste half the energy of coal during electric generation. However hydroelectric power plants are very efficient.Tank-type gas water heaters are 69% efficient, since hot combustion gas escapes out the flue after hydrogen content of fuel is burned. This number does not consider inefficiencies during production, transmission, refining, and delivery of gas.Tank-less gas water heaters are 79% efficient, but tank-less burn more gas per gallon of hot water than tank-type heaters. Hot combustion gasses are released out the flue and are not actively recycled without slowing combustion which turns off unit. Newer type tank-less with blower recycles heat into a tank operate at 96% efficiency, and are made for oversize consumption of both energy and hot water.High efficiency tank-type gas heaters operate at 96% efficiency by using blowers to circulate hot combustion gas through coiled tube located inside tank. Same amount of combustion gas is released since only heat is recycled. The use of electric blower affects overall cost.Environmental efficiency: Electric water heater does not release CO2 at each home, instead CO2 is localized at power plant. Gas water heaters release CO2 at each home which factor in environmental efficiency.Efficiency of all gas water heaters falls and cannot be fully restored if untreated hard water deposits sediment over heat transfer surface. Generally, gas heaters exposed to hard water require softener which affects overall efficiency.Efficiency of tank-type electric water heater remains at 99% until sediment reaches element, causing element to burn out. Full 99% efficiency is restored by cleaning out tank and replacing element. Generally, tank-type electric heater does not require water softener.Downsizing water heater, reducing consumption, selecting water heater with fewer parts, reading the manual, and draining tank each 6 months to avoid sediment are key to saving energy.
When was Melting Close created?

What are some of the potential dangers of indoor portable heaters?
There are a number of dangers related to indoor portable heaters. These include the risk of fire if the heater is too close to flammable material, the risk to air quality if the heater/room does not have adequate ventilation and the risk of burns from the heater itself.
How do I bleed air from my baseboard heaters?
To bleed air from your baseboard heaters, first turn off your heating system and allow it to cool down. Locate the bleed valve, usually found at one end of the heater, and use a radiator key or a flathead screwdriver to turn it counterclockwise. As you open the valve, be prepared for some water to escape; once the water flows steadily without sputtering, close the valve. Finally, check your boiler pressure and add water if necessary to maintain the appropriate level.

Do you paint a baseboard heater the color of the wall or the color of the molding?
I always try to find a spray enamel as close as possible to moulding.
Can I find any radiant heaters for green houses?
Radiant gas heaters are not recommended for green houses, because they are thermostatically controlled it makes maintaining temperatures difficult, and require close supervision while using.
What is a 35 degree rise for tankless water heaters?
That question didn't even come close to making any sense.
How do you properly bleed a baseboard heater bleeder valve?
To properly bleed a baseboard heater bleeder valve, follow these steps: Turn off the heating system. Locate the bleeder valve on the baseboard heater. Use a key or screwdriver to slowly open the valve. Listen for hissing sounds, which indicate air escaping. Once water starts flowing steadily, close the valve. Turn the heating system back on and check for any leaks.
How to bleed baseboard heat properly?
To bleed baseboard heat properly, first turn off the heating system. Locate the bleed valve on each baseboard unit and use a key or screwdriver to open it slightly. Place a towel or container underneath to catch any water. Once air stops hissing and water flows steadily, close the valve. Repeat for all baseboards. Turn the heating system back on and check for any leaks.

How many sales of ipod portable speakers were there in March 2011 worldwide?
Estimates say that the answer to this figure is close to $4 million. Portable speakers are raging in popularity, and is extremely convenient with liquid sound.
Will a portable heater burn a plastic container?
Objects must not be placed close to any type of portable heater. Hot air comes out and it must be allowed to circulate round the room. This is important for safety.
Why are air condition units often positioned close to the ceiling in hot countries and heaters close to the ground in cold countries?
Cold air falls and hot air rises. That simple. Think of hot air balloons.
