Patio Heater Voltage
There are two main differences: amperage output, and the number of patio heaters that can be connected to the transformer. Most models of ceiling patio heaters we sell have an electrical requirement of 20 VA. The "VA" stands for Voltage Amperage, commonly known as "Amps." We offer the Sunpak heaters with the option of a 20 volt transformer, 40 volt transformer, or no transformer.
A 24-20VA transformer provides 24 Volts at 20 Amps and powers one Sunpak heater. A 24-40VA transformer offers 24 Volts at 40 Amps and can power two Sunpak heaters. You get the best performance from your ceiling patio heater by using one transformer to power only one heat. If you do wire two units to one transformer, make sure each patio heater receives at least 20 Amps. Never wire more than two heaters to one transformer. |  |
