I would like to heat an area (180cf with no moving air) using a 1500W using a baseboard heater and attach it to the available 15amp non dedicated electrical wall outlet. I would also like to control the temp. Inside this space with a standard home T-stat. mounted inside the area being heated. I understand the T-stat uses 24v while the heat source is 120v.
What know model of baseboard heaters is available on the market that will allow me to use the circuitry of the available 15amp non dedicated electrical wall outlet. I am willing to lose the usability of the outlet if needs to.

Thou you may be willing to lose the outlet, but it may be there for a reason of spacing, no more than 12 feet of wall space cannot be with out an outlet.

Why the 24 volt stat? Just get a 120 volt baseboard heater with a built in thermostat.The 24 volt stat will require a 24 volt transformer to control a 24 volt relay that will switch the 120 volt heater. Very messy and not practical to do.

If the 15 amp outlet is not dedicated and has other loads on it, those loads will not be able to run with the 12.5 amps of heater load.
