My house has a partially finished attic that is heated by a 60" electric strip heater. The attic was finished by the previous owner and we almost never use it, except for storage. We have never neede

The smell you noticed was probably dust that accumulated on the heating element burning off, much the same as a central furnace does the first time it is fired up after being off for a long time. Se

If the heater was meant for 120V and it was connected to 220V, it would burn out, blow the circuit breaker (or burn up) REAL fast! But if it was meant for 220v and connected to 120V, it simply wouldn

That seems very odd to me. 22 amps means it would not run from an ordinary household circuit, so why 120v? Since I've found incorrect labels before, I'd want to try to check how much current/power i

I wouldn't bet your house on this, but I know of at least one heater in my world that is 220v or 110v. The heater element in my hot tub is the same whether your tub is 110v or 220v. It is rated for 1
