I plan on installing wall heaters in two bathrooms. They have two kind that I am looking at. Heater (1) specs are 120 volt, 15 amps, 1800 watts with wire size 12 AWG. Heater (2) specs are 240 volt, 8.40 amps, 2000 watts with 14 AWG wire. Both heaters are the same price. I will be running 12 AWG wire regardless of which heater I use.
What I would like to know is if I use the 240 volt heaters can I run them together on the same circuit? The distance from the panel box to the last heater is about 50 feet. I figure a 25 amp circuit with 12/2 wg should work. Or should I get the 120 volt heaters and just run 2 seperate 15 amp circuits to each. Thanks. Earl
