    Bathroom fan/heater
    I have a dedicated 20 amp circuit going to a bathroom. I want to install a bulb heater and a ventilation fan on the circuit. Can I use a decora combo 15 amp double switch to control both the light and the fan? Or do I need a 20 amp switch?

    The infrared heat lamp is probably 250 watts, so the 15 amp switch is fine.
