I have 8 tanks in this room: two 90g, a 110g, two 55g, a 125 g, a 75 g and a corner 44. The 75 g is cold water. The breaker tripped 3x in the last 2 weeks. I am wondering if it trips because several heaters are going on at the same time.
I see the options as follows: drill a hole through the wall behind the two 90s & power them from the adjacent room which is on a different breaker.
Move a few tanks to another room which I really don’t want to do.
Heat the room to 72-74. This would involve heating a few other rooms on the same thermostat that aren’t used. But electricity costs more than gas here, so it may be cost efficient.
Is there anyway to keep several heaters from turning on at the same time? (Assuming this is the issue) If some tanks were insulated on 3 sides would that help?
Thank you.
