Default What AWG for 7.5kw - 36amp heater?

Electricity costs me 8.6 cents per kilowatt hour. So to run a 7.5kw
heater will cost me $0.65 an hour to run. I'll run the heater 1-2 hours
per day, which maybe 4-5 times a week. This is how much I run my
23,000btu kerosene heater now. So in a month I'll pay between $13-26 a
month for electric heat.


Your electric is about half what I'm paying in CT. In your case, the
payback for gas is much too long to consider it.
