Project overview

Space heaters demand correctly sized circuits and reliable protection. Our crew installed new breakers and wiring, routed durable conduit, and added GFCI-protected, weather-resistant outlets where needed. The result is a safer, cleaner power distribution setup designed to support seasonal heating loads and everyday use.

What we installed

New 15A breakers: Four standard 15-amp breakers were installed and labeled to serve the new space heater needs and associated branch circuits.
3/4-inch PVC conduit (approx. 70 ft): Mounted with the appropriate connectors and LBs to protect conductors and create tidy, serviceable runs.
THHN #12 conductors: Pulled through the conduit to supply the newly added circuits with durable, code-appropriate wiring.
GFCI outlets with in-use protection: Multiple GFCI receptacles were installed and paired with bubble (in-use) covers to maintain weatherproof protection while plugs remain connected.
NM-B 12/2 runs: Additional interior wiring was completed with NM-B 12/2 cable to extend circuits cleanly and securely to their points of use.
Standard receptacles: New outlets were added to improve access to power where practical.
Ceiling light fixture: The customer-supplied light was installed on an existing box to brighten the area and enhance visibility.

Safety and code-focused details

Appropriate overcurrent protection: Circuits are matched to breaker ratings for reliable operation and safety.
GFCI where required: GFCI protection helps reduce shock risk in damp or outdoor locations.
Weather-resistant coverage: In-use bubble covers keep outlets protected whether or not something is plugged in.
Clean routing and labeling: PVC conduit provides a neat, serviceable path for conductors and supports future maintenance.

These upgrades help ensure dependable power delivery for space heaters while supporting best practices for protection and usability in varied environments.
