Nice Little Heater - Easy Install
By Dave Duncanson
I have a 3 season room that I wanted to turn into a 4 season room and this heater did the trick. I looked at installing a baseboard heating unit but it required that I tear up my kick moldings, required a remote thermostat, and would not force the heat into the room. When I sized the heater to the room (easy calculation - floor area x 10 = watts you need) I wanted a heater which pushed the heat into room.
The installation was a snap in spite of the installation manual. The bottom line: cut out a 18 1/2" high opening in the drywall between 2 studs (assuming they are 16" on center) and the hard work is mostly done. The wiring threw me for a loop - I am used to using 4 conductor wiring for a 240V application. In this application you use #10-2 conductor wire - which actually has 3 wires in it. The middle ground wire serves the same purpose as the white (neutral) usually does. Make sure to use #10 wire - the unit draws 16.5 amps at full load. #10 will handle 30 amps so you have a generous safety factor. I used a double throw 20 amp breaker. The unit has a thermal safety feature so no fears there.
Overall I am very pleased with this unit. It is reasonably quiet, very compact, and heats my 13' x 18' room quite well. It took a few days to get the room temp back up to 68 degrees but that was more of an issue with my floor (ceramic tile on cement) than the heater. This is a great heater for any cold room you may have.
