So most of the heat in my house is 240v electric baseboard heat. Long story short, I come to find out that the dead one in the bathroom was actually 120v. But not before I put a 240v heater in after the old one took a dump.
Now, we get plenty of heat from the heater for the small space (more like a 1/2 bath size but with full amenities) even with the heater turned down to 60 degrees. And with all the electricals going in the bathroom, we don't blow the breaker.
Here's the issue: wife is concerned about issues with the mismatch in voltage. I told her that if the circuit had been 240 and the heater rated for 120, then we would have an issue but that underdriving an electric heater can only lead to less heat.
Anyone detect any safety issues here?
TIA
