I don't want to 'jack' the thread, but..

A 'bridge' here in the toll capital of the USA? Sure, I'll buy it if the price is right; tolls are a real gold mine!! LOL

But seriously folks! Getting back on track, So if I install a small electric 110 volt wall mounted electric heater in a bedroom, It WOULD have to be AFCI protected? How about if I install it in the bathroom? Has anyone installed toe kick heaters in the kitchen? Bathroom? Anyone? Is it required to be AFCI?

Typically they will requred AFCI for it if the code do required it and with 120 volts perament wall heaters yeah you will need AFCI in bedroom but I do not know if they do cover on 240 volt verison IMO I think they do cover it as well.

Toekick heater in kitchen it depending on the voltage of heater it may require GFCI or not

Hardwired heater in Bathrooms .,, 120 volts useally not unless your local code do require it. the 240 volt verison most case useally no unless specfied per manufacter or local code requirement. { no AFCI in bathroom AFAIK }

Merci,Marc

Toe kick in kitch, 120 volt,...GFI, IMHO, No
