Ok so you all will probably be laughing once you read this but oh well.
So my husband and I went to turn our heater on. We had it on a couple weekends prior and it worked just fine. It was a colder weekend so we turned it up so company and the dogs wouldn't get cold. Well it warmed back up for a week or two then we got another cold day and went to turn it on. No luck. Nothing coming out of the vents. So Michael checked online before we called a repair person. We discovered that our heat comes from the propane tanks. Well we checked and found out that we had drained them. So we went to fill them up no biggie there. We spoke with our neighbors and they said they just use heaters during the winter cause propane is so expensive to use. So I bought 3 tiny heaters that actually push out a lot of heat for their size. The problem isn't the size and them not filling the room with heat. The issue comes when we try and turn them all on. If we turn on more than one we pop a fuse. I am an idiot when it comes to Volts, Hz, BTU's, or Watts. So here is my question. Why are they popping the fuse? Here is information about the heaters.
Three Settings: High (1500W), Low (750W), or fan only.
Then it says 120V, 60Hz, 5120BTU's.
Like I said this is foreign language to me. I would like to use all the heaters at once. We tried different plugs in the walls but the ones in the main living area and the second bedroom seem to be all on the same circuit. It pops it too if I turn on the main living area one and the master bedroom one as well.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
