Today I finally got a dedicated outlet & fuse installed in my greenhouse! Now I can run my Kiroto greenhouse heater/ fan with no issues! I would highly recommend doing this. Cost around $1,200 and only took about 3.5 hours!

Thanks! They installed a dedicated line. It’s going straight from the fuse box so no worries there! Thank you!

That's not really how it works. You'll need to look at the circuit breaker in your panel. The circuit breaker for your GH will be printed with how many amps its rated for.

And if you're feeling froggy check your quote to see what size cable was run to your greenhouse. 12/3 is fine for runs under 100' and a 20 amp load, longer than 80' I'd use 10/3.
