Hello Group! Does anyone know if it is permissible to put a toe heater in the kitchen on the same 20A circuit as the microwave? The circuit only has the microwave on it. Any help greatly appreciated!:confused:

I see no problem,either with code or any other reason, with adding the heater to the microwave circuit.

Thank You! I didn't see a problem either but it's one of those things you just like reaffirmed. Do I need to place these on a GFCI circuit or no? Thank you much!

No reason for a GFI to protect a heater, only all counter outlets must be GFI protected in a kitchen.
