Just installed a Friedrich EP18G33B in a new addition which has BOTH 18K BTU A/C and 12K BTU heater. We're in the northeast and the heater seems way inefficient. Probably a stupid purchase. Anyway, what I'm thinking is since the electric's run to that spot (230/208 line), that I can install a baseboard heater under the outlet...adding a junction box with a toggle switch, UP to the A/C in summer, DOWN to the baseboard in winter. First, not sure this makes sense and next, what's the recommended switch? I've installed multiple 240v baseboards in another house with no problem, just not sure about this particular issue. Thanks very much.
