Pretty sure the highest constant draw will be an electric blanket in the winter. Its upstairs so part of me said go 20 and do it once, after getting input from the board.

Thanks!

Thanks all for the input, 20 amp it is. If it is it a 20 amp circuit, does a portable a/c still require it's own dedicated circuit?

What's the norm nowadays as far as bedroom outlet circuit size? 15 or 20? Thanks in advance.

Finally fired up my mhu50, and noticed the b vent is hot to the touch, about 200 degrees according to my surface probe. Is this normal? Burner tubes aren't glowing red. Thanks. Chris

2 3 way switches. Looks like I'll rewire the lights to. Thanks fur the help guys.

Can i feed my lights off a 20 amp outlet using 12 gauge to the switch box, and then 14/3 to to the lights? Or do i have to change everything to the lights to 12/3? LLights are already there, but they are on a circuit all by themselves, and there is an outlet right underneath the switch box...

i guess i was over thinking it, i dont see why i couldnt drill the ridge beam into the side of the top plate line them up like you said. i might be able to just clip the bottom of the top plate, only need 1/2 in hole.

Trying to get wire from switch to ceiling fan.

The other side is the interior wall of the house.

Kind of hard to see, but there is a hole at the base of the red ridge board. That is also the bottom of the double top plate. This is my dilemma, the bottom of the ridge board and the bottom of the top plate are lined up. so i cant come out through the ridge board without drilling into the side...

Can you use a handy box with cover as a pass thru/protection for nm cable? My top plate is even with the rafters of my enclosed porch, so i was wondering if i can mount a box to the wall and pass the wire thru then up along the rafter. Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance.

Perfect, thanks for the help.

I understand that, however my inlaw found a flexible whip new at the flea market. And i have a switch laying around, so if i can use what i have that's all the better. I just need to know if a switch is needed with the heater that close to the panel. Thanks.

Thanks everyone, another dumb question....is a switch for disconnect required if the the heater is within 3 to 4 feet from the sub panel
