Okay, the King Electric PAW heater arrived at Richard and Rhonda's home Tuesday....24 hours after I ordered it from Amazon Prime. I started in to install it this morning. the opening for the old heater was 12" wide by 4" high.....the King Electric heater is 6" tall so I had to increase the height of the opening by 2". Richard loaned me his jigsaw, and I removed the 2"....after a little extra trimming the metal box for the heater fit in perfectly. Then it was just a matter of putting the heating element back in and wiring it up. Right now I am leaving it on the 1500 watt factory setting, but it is easy to change by just disconnecting one of the 3 heating elements...there is a 250 watt post, a 500 watt post, and a 750 watt post. Is there any reason why I would want to reduce the wattage? When I turn it on it draws about 11 amps at the 1500 watt setting ....slightly more than the old Square D, which drew 10 amps. It is even quieter than the Square D one, which was pretty quiet.
