baseboard heat

[xara]

I have five 750 watt electric heaters, one 1500 watt heater, and one 2000 watt heater. Can I run them all on six different 15 amp double pole breakers and use 14 gauge wire?

What do you think if you had to guess?

If they are all 240V, you could use 15A breakers and 14ga wire. You could use as few as 4 circuits even (750 +750) x 2, (750+1500), 2000W. How many line voltage thermostats will you be using?

(5 x 750) + 1500 + 2000 = 11000 / 2880(80% of 240v 15a circuit) =3.819 or 4 circuits
