i see some electric wall heaters posted as 110 volts and others as 120 volts what is the difference between the two electric wall heaters

A bathroom wall heater with 110 volts is an old expression, years ago that was standard voltage in every home, over time the power companies have been adjusting the voltage upward in our homes. So some people say 110 volts, then it was 115 volt then 120 volts some time you may see 125 volts. The voltage from the power line is 240 which is cut in half to 120 volts for our day to day voltage. Why did they do this? It's a long story. When you see a heater with 110 volts it will run with an 120 volt power supply. What you want to look for when selection an bathroom or electric wall heater is 120 volts or 240 volts. Buying a 120 volt heater for a 240 volt power supply is problem, like put diesel in a gas car powered car it close but not close enough to work.

When it comes electric wall heaters You may also have heard of (110 volts, 115 volts, and 125 volts) - they are thesame as 120 volts.Also, (220 volts, 230 volts, and 250 volts) are the same as 240 volts.

110 is basic house stuff, 220 is for larger appliances like washers and dryers, and I know at my fire station we have a 480 line for our outdoor siren.

Yes. I have two on one thermostat. Each heater has it's own breaker and two pole relay. In your case you would have three breakers and three relays. Then all you need to have control voltage through your wall thermostat (120 v) to energize the control relays.

Plug is standard 120 v three prong Hot/Neutral/ground I do not now the difference between quarts and infrared. I do know this heater I have will not heat more then a 4000 cubic ft of space and maintain 86 degrees. Also the fan is extremely loud.

110.. Mine worked for 6 years and then died BUT IT DIDN"T overheat.. It just wouldn't keep the aquarium warm anymore.. None of my fish died and if you are checking it daily it shouldn't be an issue.. I believe these are great heaters! I now have another that is 1 and a half years old

Hi Marlo, normal 120 Volt outlet; no problems and pretty energy efficient given it's a space heater. It heats enormously fast. You'll be happy with it! All the very best wishes for the holidays! Sandy

110 v 1300 w - it does not work well - bought two one was working the other did not work - heat emitted is very limited - would not recommend

A 240 volt unit can run on 120 volts, but it will only put out half as much heat as it is rated for.

I have no idea - you plug it directly into the wall. So 110v I guess. It will warm my garage up 3-8 degrees in an hour depending on how cold it is outside. My garage is not insulated.

Can't answer electrically.. but these units are good in that they have an inlet plug (that only receives a computer cord, not an extension cord), an on/off switch, and a fuse holder so that you can include a fuse based on the size of things connected. It is wired up as 240 v, so I had to get an electrician to show me how to use jumpers to convert it to 120.

Wall plugs are 115-120vac, this unit is 12vdc. You can wire it up and plug it in but nope it won't work but the sparks might be fun to watch at night... really don't do it... if you do not know the difference between 12vdc and 120vac you should not be wiring anything to anything.

The unit has 2 120 V.A.C. hot wires from the circuit breaber panel and a bare ground wire.The hot wires are each 120 V.A.C. making the timer box used on a 240 V.A.C. hot water heater, the bare wire is a ground wire.

This is not a portable electric heater, it is designed to be permanently installed and comes with no wires. I bought the thermostat they recommend and installed it. You could wire a chord to it and plug it into a wall outlet if you buy the 120 Volt model. Be careful some require 240 volt power, just make sure you buy the right one.

In the USA 220-V is used for dryers and electric stoves, etc. It's just 110-V two times in the wiring. In foreign countries 220/240 power is used. Sometimes manufacturers make units with both or an adapter can be used for this purpose.

Good morning! AS this is designed exclusively for 120 volt service, if you need a 240 volt version, that heater would be the LC2507W31. We currently don't have this posted on our Amazon site, but take a look at it on our own www.baseboardheaterstore.com website.Thanks,Jeff CousinsOperations Manager

Yes your general wall outlet in American homes range in voltage from 110 to 125 volts. Where voltage varies electrical equipment inversely draws amperage to maintain total power consumption. In other words where this unit rating is 115 volts plugging into a 110 wall outlet it would draw slightly more amperage.

fan forced good warm heater i got mine on now, in fact i got 2 heaters 220 volts in my house now, it not hard too put in a 220 circuit .
