the cost of this one is about 90-100$ in my area, everything is much cheaper in the US lol. thats not the point, I will be putting it in regardless of the cost, better safe than sorry.

thanks everyone for the help! very informative as always. I will end up getting the breaker. better safe than sorry

Hi everyone, I have yet another electrical question. I have bought the subpanel in the link below. I passed a wire from my 200 amp main panel to this new subpanel. I have two different people telling me two different things. One of them says that i dont have to put the 100amp main breaker on...

The red cable is usually used for heaters around the house.

There is a knob for temperature on the actual unit

Ok so I can just connect it like a regular heater to my panel! Can I bring it through a thermostat?

i forgot to add that the black cable (should have had a plug originally) going into the junction box is what is coming from the heater. there is a wire in there that is bare and not plugged or covered. the red cable also goes in the junction box but is not hooked up to anything. was the original...

Hi all, I am in a bit of rush and i have already posted in the heater section but also felt that it can go in the electrical section. I am just trying to understand what the previous owner did to this heater, well actually two of them. was it to hook it up to a thermostat or something else...

ok, i think i get what you are saying. so is it still ok if there is another wire from the black cable, it kind of white should i just put a marette on that one? the way it is wired now can it do 240v? do i just bring the red wire straight to the panel on a 20 amp breaker or the thermostat...

I paid twenty bucks for the two. I have now attached an actual picture of what is in the junction box. So if I keep it like this i will only be runny at 120v? Which means it would not put out 4800watts if I'm correct What would I do with other end of the red wire?

That can be an option, but I was wondering what the original owner did with these, I dont get it lol. The photos of the auction didn't really show the plug. Is it better for me to just put a 240v outlet and reattach the 240v plugs?

Hi everyone, so the garage is slowly getting done, im at the electrical and plumbing now, hopefully the sheetrock will be up this weekend. I have purchased two of these heaters at an auction. However the cord coming out of the heater goes into a junction box and then there is a red wire...

wow, thanks for the useful advice guys. Btw i found the triple rocker switch on amazon canada for only 10 bucks! amazing

are you sure that this is for lighting or plugs and not fans for bathroom?

I will be running this from my subpanel off a 15 amp breaker (i believe) i dont think I will add other plugs on the same circuit. they only take 45 watts each. here is a link of the lights i bought. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0739THBJN/?tag=atomicindus04-20 wow that is amazing, I've never seen...

Hi guys, I have a challenging question for me and possibly a very simple on for you. I have purchased 8 led shop lights that go into plugs (not hardwired) and also one into another. So i was planning on putting two per switch/plug. So one switch would turn on one plug which will have two...

little update, here is one that I picked up at costco today, I saw it was 140$ which is a solid price according to specs, but the reviews seem to be soso. the main claim is that the fan just doesnt turn for if kept still for a season. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B077NQ47MK/?tag=atomicindus04-20

Thanks guys, i know gas would be best but i just dont think im allowed to have it in a detached garage where im located (thats what ive been told from some people). so i think in the end electric is the way to go.

great, thanks man is there a heater in particular that you recommend? I have been looking at this one https://www.costco.ca/Dimplex-Connex-Ceiling-mounted-Heater.product.100419100.html

would that take a while a heat up the area for when I would need to work in it?
