    Circuit Breaker

    Posted by Tim on August 31, 2016 at 8:29 am

    I just bought a portable fireplace to add some ambience :), and some heat if I want, but it draws 12amps.

    Except for my kitchen & bathroom GFCI electrical outlets, all my other electrical receptacles in the front & rear are on one 20amp circuit. This means if a plug in another appliance drawing more than 8amps, I trip the breaker.

    I know power mangement is key, but just wondering if this common to all buses to have all non-GFCI outlets on one circuit?

    You’ll need a home run circuit for the heater Tim.
