Good point Miguel. A 1500 watt heater pretty much maxes a 15
amp circuit.
I have another concern. When we design a system, we spend part of our time
designing a way to dissipate heat. I don't think sticking a heater in the
middle of your electronics is a good idea at all. It will effect their
lifespan and possibly even their performance.
haha
those are AWWWWSUM.....do they make those in the STATES?
They are fine except for 1 thing. Electric heaters are
typically 1500 Watts or so. Add that to the power the TV & the rest of ur
electronics are drawing & you have a greater chance of tripping ur breaker
when you use it. That is the only problem besides being an expensive way to
heat. To see if it is going to be a problem buy an inexpensive ($20) heater
from walmart & run it all day with the rest of ur stuff on. If you have a
surround system then play that too a ur normal listening level or maybe a little higher. If you have no problems then go ahead. To Earth: The application negates the concern over heat. It will probably only be turned on when it is cold in the home so no heat issues.
Wow never knew they made those, but I don't see why they
wouldn't work well. Just look at the quality each of the fireplaces.
