What size breaker do I need for a 240 volt heater?

Electricians generally recommend 240-volt because it uses lower amperage and is more energy-efficient than 120-volt. Adding a 240-volt baseboard heater usually requires a new 20- or 30-amp double-pole circuit breaker and new circuit wiring to supply one or more heater units.

What size breaker do I need for a 1500 watt heater?

A 1500-watt heater on a 120-volt circuit thus needs a breaker of 15.6 amps. Because a 15-amp breaker would be too small, you need a breaker with the next highest rating, which is 20 amps. Include the current draw of any other devices on the circuit when calculating the breaker size.
