The unit may get warm with 120 volt, not enough to heat the space. You may need to order one from a real electrical supply house, check before going many do not sell to the general public, wholesale only. Grainger may have them also.
HD only keeps in stock what is very common. Ask, they may be able to order a 240 heater for you. |
