Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?
Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
Would static electricity be the cause of a ceiling light continuing to blow a fuse?
No. There is an excessive current draw, possibly in the form of a short circuit. Get an electrician to check it and fix it before you set fire to house.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
I have electric baseboard heat and my air quality is awful. Dust gets in and stays in. Please HELP me with a solution. How do you get air circulation with electric heat?
You can circulate the air with ceiling fans but you will need to get an air purifier. These are stand alone unit that draw the air in and clean it. You might need several units depending on the size of your home. You will also want to check the humidity in your home, if it is below 40% you might want to get a humidifier as well. There are many health issues with low humidity. Not to mention static...
Are baseboard heaters very reliable and where can I buy them at?
Baseboard heaters are an excellent way to heat your home. There are two main types, water radiator and electric radiator. Both types draw in cool air from the floor, heat it, and then force it up the walls. This creates circulation in the room and allows an even heat. They can be purchased from local home centers like Lowe's or Home Depot.
How do you connect a water heater to a power inverter?
the trick is to find an inverter large enough to handle the load of a hot water heater, things such as water heaters, air condition units draw lots of electricity
Is your baseboard heater using power when a single-pole thermostat is set to low?
Yes, baseboard heaters typically use power whenever they are connected to a power source, regardless of the setting on the thermostat. Here’s how it works: Thermostat Operation: A single-pole thermostat for a baseboard heater controls the flow of electricity to the heater element. When you set the thermostat to a low temperature, it doesn't mean the heater is off completely; rather, it reduces the amount of electricity flowing through the heating element. Power Consumption: Even when set to a low temperature, the baseboard heater still consumes some electricity because it maintains a minimum temperature to ensure the room doesn't get too cold. The exact amount of power consumed depends on the wattage of the heater and the setting of the thermostat. Heat Output: When the thermostat is set low, the baseboard heater will produce less heat output. It will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature, using less power during periods when the room is closer to the desired temperature. Idle Power Consumption: Some baseboard heaters have a small amount of power consumption even when the thermostat is off, due to internal electronics or pilot lights. However, this is typically minimal compared to the power used when the heater is actively heating. In summary, while the baseboard heater may not be running at full capacity when the thermostat is set to low, it still consumes electricity to maintain the temperature setting and respond to changes in room temperature. Therefore, it's always using some amount of power as long as it's connected to a power source.
Why does a toaster draw a lot of current?
all electric heaters draw a lot of current (voltage times current = watts [or power]) and a toaster heats bread (no it toasts Bread)

Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?
Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.

Draw conclusions what impact did electricity have on industry?
Essentially, electricity has helped create the "idea" of industry. Electricity helped industrial production on scales never seen before (aka mass production).
Room with electric baseboard heaters that add up to 4500 watts which is to much for one 20amp 240 circuit. Can I use a low voltage thermostat with a relay rated for 24 amps on this circuit to fix this?
Yes, you can use a low voltage thermostat with a relay rated for 24 amps on this circuit. The relay will help distribute the load between the heaters, ensuring they do not draw more current than the circuit can handle. Make sure to consult a licensed electrician to ensure proper installation and safety.
How many baseboard heaters can you put on a 2 pole 15 amp breaker?
The question depends entirely on the size of the heaters and the size of the wire used.Select your breaker size and wire gauge according to the wattage. To determine your amperage, divide your power in watts by your voltage. If the voltage is 100 volts and your wattage is 1000 watts, then the amperage draw = 1000 Watts / 100 volts = 10 ampsIf you intend to control a number of heaters, a relay may also be used. The thermostat turns on the relay, the relay controls the heaters. Thermostats are rated for current and voltage. Make sure you are also using a thermostat big enough for your circuit.
