I spoke with the manufacturer of Cheap Heat and he said the output on 30 amps is about 1800 watts. In my Vegas that would do a good job.
I ran an electric space heater rated at 1500 watts on a 30 degree night in our Vegas and it did great.
So 1800 watts of duct distributed heat would be pretty good for my application.
But Rusty is right 3600 watts would be far better
