L.B. White Volt 1.5 Electric Heater – 1500W, 120V, 12.5 Amp

The L.B. White Volt 1.5 is a 120V electric heater producing 1,500 watts (1.5 kW) of heat, drawing 12.5 amps from a standard household outlet. Unlike typical personal space heaters that create a small hot zone, the Volt 1.5 uses a high-performance 116 CFM fan motor to circulate warm air throughout an entire room for even, consistent heat distribution.

Engineered by L.B. White for continuous, long-term performance, the Volt 1.5 is built to run reliably for up to 10 years with industrial-grade powder-coated steel construction and stainless-jacketed heating coils. It is the entry point to the Volt electric heater line and the only 120V model in the series — no special wiring or dedicated circuit required.

Electrical Requirements

The Volt 1.5 plugs into any standard 120V household outlet (NEMA 5-15). No special wiring, dedicated circuit, or electrician is required. It draws 12.5 amps, so avoid sharing the circuit with other high-draw appliances to prevent tripping a breaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many watts is the L.B. White Volt 1.5?
The Volt 1.5 produces 1,500 watts (1.5 kW) of heat at 120V, drawing 12.5 amps from a standard household outlet.

Does the Volt 1.5 plug into a regular outlet?
Yes. The Volt 1.5 uses a standard NEMA 5-15 plug and works with any 120V household outlet. No special wiring or dedicated circuit is needed, making it the easiest model in the Volt line to install.

What size greenhouse can the Volt 1.5 heat?
The Volt 1.5 is best suited for small greenhouses and grow spaces. At 1,500 watts, it can maintain temperatures in a well-insulated greenhouse of approximately 100–150 square feet, depending on climate and insulation quality. For larger greenhouses, consider the Volt 3, Volt 6, or Volt 9.

Does the Volt 1.5 have a built-in thermostat?
Yes. The Volt 1.5 includes an integrated ambient thermostat adjustable from 32°F to 100°F, cycling on and off automatically to maintain your set temperature.

How long does the Volt 1.5 last?
The Volt 1.5 is engineered for continuous duty and rated for up to 10 years of reliable operation — significantly longer than typical consumer space heaters.

Is the Volt 1.5 UL approved?
Yes. The L.B. White Volt 1.5 is UL Approved for safe use in residential, commercial, and agricultural environments.

How does the Volt 1.5 compare to the rest of the Volt line?
The Volt 1.5 (1,500W / 120V) is the entry-level and only 120V model in the Volt series. The Volt 3 (3,000W / 240V, NEMA 6-15P), Volt 6 (6,000W / 240V, NEMA 14-30/14-50), and Volt 9 (9,000W / 240V, 50A circuit) all require 240V and are suited for progressively larger spaces.
