[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 4318113, member: 45550"] Sorry, at first I didn’t understand. So we have two options when it gets really cold. First, and you’ll have to read your wiring diagram. I found that the heater and 1 set of strips are on one breaker and two more sets of heater strips are on the other. Switching off the second and third set of strips (breaker 2) keeps it from crashing my generator on overcurrent. We also have two gas fireplaces, not wood fireplaces that have been converted but actual gas fireplaces that will keep the house in the 80s when it’s in the teens outside. So when it’s really snappy outside I can run one fireplace and the house fan to circulate the hot air and it keeps 3,000 sqft of home very comfortable and greatly minimizes the power draw. 😉 [/QUOTE]
