Are they upgrading the cable size and installing in the garage? If practical, we always try to install in...

    Reducing a space heater's wattage??

    Hi all, first post here. I have a 1500W space heater that comes with a little fan in it. It runs off of a 120V outlet (I'm in Canada). I would like to reduce the wattage to the heater from 1500W to 500W or maybe even 400W. How do I do that? Cheers, PepeLapiu :)
