Hello, I want to start out by saying I have spent the last two hours cruising this forum and finding answers to my questions and potential questions in the future...this is truly a great resource....especialy for new homeowners like me! Anyway, I am looking at purchasing a large blower/dryer (motorcycle/car dryer) for the garage and the spec sheet says it is 19 amps. By my calculations (and feel free to correct me) that is about 2250 watts, I think I remember reading on this forum that a 20 amp circuit could handle 2400 watts.? My question is: would there have to be a dedicated circuit all of the time for me to run this device? I am not sure but I hink there is only 15 amp circuit breakers on the garage outlets. Even if I upgraded the circuit to 20 amps it would still be at 95% capactiy with this device...or am I missing something? Is it even possible/safe? Thanks for your time in advance.
