Hi All, Just got done laying the mat under my granite floor, All went well.
I have a question about the breaker amperage.

My electrician put the floor on a unused circuit in my box. All the the breakers are 20 amp.
The bath is wired for this via
12-2/g on another circuit.

Is the heat map designed with 12 or 14 gauge wiring
And is the energystat like a typical switch, Rated for 15 amps but will handle 20 amps?

thanks for any and all info

Hi Slim, welcome to the forum -glad to hear that your install went well! The lead wires on our mats are about a 14 gauge stranded wire, but running the power to the thermostat with 12-2 is absolutely fine.

I wouldn’t recommend running anymore than 15 amps through the Smartstat, while it will work at maximum amp capacity, it will take its toll on the unit over time.

I hope this info helps, don’t hesitate to contact us again if there are any other questions.
