120 volts at 29 amps? What are you going to plug those things into? I'd
say you're better off with what you have, anyway.
A new 30 amp circuit, that's what.

Won't do it. You need a 40A circuit for that.

30 Amps will do fine.

Read the Code and get back to me. And pick up that 40A breaker while you
are at the store. Oh, that 29A is at 120V. How many amps will it draw when
there is a voltage drop on a hot summer day?


It's a heater. Given fewer volts, will it not draw fewer amps?
