I'm just not qualified to make a judgement on this one. I have a feeling there's probably some relief in the code that allows you to run them off the same circuit but I can't be sure.Is this the main light source for the room or is it in addition to another source? If it's additional you might want to put them on the same timer? Good luck. The installations directions sure are weak! I’m just not qualified to make a judgement on this one.

Combined amps is 12.2. I've got a cable from a dedicated 20amp breaker to the heater/vent unit...but it's not connected yet. The heater is a stainless steel element, not a bulb. Heating element is 1400 watts, fan is 25 watts.Since I can't find a double pole, double throw, center off switch for under $70, I'm just going to get two timer switches (I've found a timer rated at 1800 watts for the heater).So, like you said, now I'm wondering if I need the fan and heater on two different circuits? The instructions that came with the unit don't specify. Since the combined amps is 12.2, seems like having them operate off the same cable should be fine.<a href="http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=248664&catGroupId=119513&surfModel=FV-11VH2&displayTab=F" rel="nofollow">WhisperWarm</a> Thanks for the reply!

Is this one of those heater bulb / exhaust units? What are the spec's on it? Russell – I’m not electrician but it sure sounds to me as though you need two circuits if a heater unit is involved.

I thought a center off switch combined with the timer would be ideal, but center off switches are ridiculously expensive. I currently have one dedicated cable running from the breaker to the switch box for the heater/vent. Any suggestions other than buying a second timer?

Electronic timers require the neutral as they are an electronic device. The ones that don't need a neutral usually are spring loaded dials or some type of mechanical timer.Good luck.
