Amp Trip

my fuse always tripped when i turn on 2 electric heater at the same time if i increase the amp on ?

my fuse will it solve the problem?

Absolutely do not do that. The circuits in your home are normally rated at 15 or 20 amps. You’d have to look at your fuse or breaker to see. The rating is to protect the wiring running throughout your home. A 15amp fuse protects 14awg wire while a 20amp fuse protects 12awg wire. If you replace a fuse with a higher rating you will allow that particular wire to carry more amperage than it can handle. It will create much more heat and eventually short out and start a fire.

Here’s the fix… buy a good extension cord 12/3. It’s more expensive but definitely worth it. You’ll have to run the cord from another area, you just need to make sure they are running on seperate circuits. Two space heaters rarely work on a single 15amp circuit. The wattage per unit is normally much to high.

If you currently have fuses in your home I would consider a service upgrade as well. Changing the size and type of panel in your home is expensive but really pays off in the end.

Hope I helped
