This morning we decided to trace the breakers in the panel at the new (quite old) house to try and figure out which circuit I should tie into for the tech closet while keeping loads in check.

Fun discovery! @Jillianmarisa’s hair dryer uses 600 watts @ medium heat, low speed. But 1200 @ medium heat, high speed. 600 watts for a fan speed increase doesn’t make sense.

So, today I learned fan speed increase also increases the power to the heat. Which makes sense but isn’t necessarily intuitive. #TMYK
