Do I need a separate electrical circuit for my outdoor heaters?

In most cases, yes — a separate circuit is recommended.

Herschel outdoor heaters are high-wattage appliances, which means they typically draw a significant amount of power. While it may be possible to connect them to an existing circuit if there is enough spare capacity, this is rarely the case. Most standard circuits are already supporting other loads, and adding high-wattage heaters can easily lead to overloading.

To ensure safe, reliable operation and compliance with electrical regulations, we strongly advise installing your heaters on a dedicated circuit. Always contact a qualified electrician to assess your specific setup and advise on the best solution.
