Did you ever wonder why your circuit breaker keeps tripping when you are using your portable space heater? Normal house wiring is not meant to accommodate electric space heating equipment, because the heater is too large of a load for that circuit. A typical heater needs a separate branch circuit specifically for the heating appliance.
In order to keep your electrical wiring safe and to minimize any disruption, please practice safe use of your portable space heater.
If you have any questions about plugging in that heater, please consult a qualified electrician.
If you need Floener Electric to install a separate branch circuit for your portable space heater, give us a call at 509-684-8353 or come by the store at 423 West First Avenue in Colville.
