How do we keep the power from turning off when using wall heaters?
+1
My hubby just replaced the 4 cadet wall heaters in our main living and kitchen/dining area, and one thermostat controls all of them. If we set the temp. Above 70, they work for a short time and then shut off, so then it's a trip to the breaker box. What did we miss? I believe he checked the wattage toatch the old ones.

Check with a pro but I think you have overloaded your thermostat.
Hi Marissa! This happened to us but we found out quickly that they were draining too much electric so we could not use 2 but only the one. Take a look at these links for some very helpful information. Good luck!!

You may need them to either be on two breakers or a larger breaker. I would consult an electrician to see how much wattage is safe. When my parents first put in a microwave it would kick the breaker if the refrigerator was running. They had to add one for it by itself.
Overloaded breakers, need to split them up. Tripping so they don't catch on fire. Don't be foolish. Call a licensed electrician. If something goes wrong they are responsible. If you do it and something goes wrong your insurance carrier can deny coverage as it was not professionally installed to current building code. Know your code. Ignorance is not an excuse.
