L.B. White Volt 6 Electric Heater – 6000W, 240V, 25 Amp

The L.B. White Volt 6 is a high-output electric heater producing 6,000 watts (6 kW) of heat at 240V / 220V, drawing 25 amps. It is designed to plug directly into a standard residential clothes dryer outlet — either a NEMA 14-30 or NEMA 14-50 receptacle — making installation straightforward without dedicated wiring in most homes.

Built with the same rugged construction as the full Volt electric heater line by L.B. White, the Volt 6 delivers consistent, high-volume heat across large areas. It is well-suited for large greenhouses, workshops, drying rooms, and commercial environments requiring reliable 240V heating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What outlet does the L.B. White Volt 6 require?
The Volt 6 requires a 240V outlet — specifically a NEMA 14-30 or NEMA 14-50 receptacle, which is the same type used by most residential clothes dryers. No special wiring is needed if you already have a dryer outlet available.

How many watts is the Volt 6?
The Volt 6 produces 6,000 watts (6 kW) of heat output at 240V, drawing 25 amps.

What size greenhouse can the Volt 6 heat?
The Volt 6 is designed for large greenhouses. As a general rule, 6,000 watts can maintain temperatures in a well-insulated greenhouse of approximately 500–800 square feet depending on your climate, insulation quality, and desired temperature differential.

Does the Volt 6 have a built-in thermostat?
Yes. The Volt 6 includes an integrated ambient thermostat with a range of 32°F to 100°F, so it cycles on and off automatically to maintain your set temperature.

Is the Volt 6 safe to leave running unattended?
Yes. The Volt 6 includes automatic overheat protection that shuts the unit off if internal temperatures exceed 104°F, making it suitable for continuous operation in greenhouses and other unattended spaces.

Can I use the Volt 6 in a workshop or garage?
Yes. While optimized for greenhouse use, the Volt 6 is equally effective in workshops, garages, drying rooms, and any large space that has access to a 240V circuit.

Does the Volt 6 require professional installation?
No dedicated installation is required if you already have a compatible NEMA 14-30 or 14-50 outlet. Simply plug in and set the thermostat. If you are unsure about your electrical setup, consulting a licensed electrician is recommended before use.
