Ron,

You are lucky you can run both heaters at once. I only have a 20 amp circuit in the rented storage bay and I doubt that I could run them both at the same time. Maybe if I shut down the fridge, ice maker and chargers? Any idea how many amps that front heater draws?

Luckily, with our unique configuration, the little toe heater under the center forward facing sink vanity pushes heat right into the kitchen area also. It was actually a couple degrees warmer in the kitchen than in the bath and bedroom last night.

On the downside, we either lost power overnight or got hit in those state mandated rolling brownouts because the wife called a bit ago and said it was only in the mid-30s when she went over to check it about 11am. So she raised the t-stat up from the 50 where I had it and is waiting for it to warm up.
