120V vs 240V for heated floors and also in general
Hi,
I'm a little confused about the whole 120V vs 240V things. More specifically, I'm now deciding whether to put in 120V or 240V mats to heat the tile in my bathroom. My electrician told me to "of course, put in 240V" because you then need a smaller current for the same amount of energy. Yeah - I understand that from my physics class - but so what? Is it safer? Is it more efficient? Does it work faster? Further, I called the floor heat company and they told me that 120V is for up to 150 sq ft and 240V is for 150 sq ft to 300 sq ft. So I don't know which one to go with anymore. Please shed some light on this issue. Thank you! Aaron Fude |
