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.</p> <p>I wouldn&#8217;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.</p> <p>I hope this info helps, don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us again if there are any other questions.</p> <p>-Seth</p> Thu, 22 May 2008 17:08:14 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:38:101 slavigne http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/38 <p>Hi All, Just got done laying the mat under my granite floor, All went well.<br />I have a question about the breaker amperage.</p> <p>My electrician put the floor on a unused circuit in my box. All the the breakers are 20 amp. <br />The bath is wired for this via<br />12-2/g on another circuit.</p> <p>Is the heat map designed with 12 or 14 gauge wiring<br />And is the energystat like a typical switch, Rated for 15 amps but will handle 20 amps?</p> <p>thanks for any and all info</p> Thu, 22 May 2008 03:58:56 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:38:100 whazoo http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/38
