I would like to use a 120 V 2K watt water heater element for anout an hour
from time to time as a boiler in my garage which also has a refrigerator
in
it.The breakers in the house are 20 AMP.Will this circuit support this or
should I put the frig on another circuit?
Not adequate. Service should be no more than 80% or 16 A and the heater
will use 16.6, then you want to have a fridge on the same line?
