Knowing and getting your correct voltage is right up there as one of the most important things to know and understand before you purchase and electric wall heater. Electric wall heaters come in 120 and 240 volts. Some electric wall heaters only come in 120 volts, and some only come in 240

Most homes in the United States have both 120v and 240v in their house. If you have an electric stove, range, dryer or water heater in your home those are all running on 240 voltage.

A standard 120 volt wall heater comes in 500 to 1,500 watts which can heat a room 50 to 150 sq ft. If you have a room bigger then 150 sq ft you will need a 240 volt heater.

A standard 240 volt wall heater comes in 1000 to 4,800 watts which can heat a room from 100 to 480 sq ft.

A common over site is buying and or installing a wall heater with the wrong voltage. If you install a heater to the wrong voltage bad things can happen.

120v circuit to a 240v heater will give you ¼ of the wattage

240v circuit to a 120v heater will burnout the heater and voids the warranty
