    Apartment to buy with coal heating. Any sense to buy electrical heater and new pc?

    Hi guys. I have an question. Overall i am currently selling my house ( apartment with 1 room ) to buy some cheaper with 1 room too, and save cash for new pc in autumn 2024.

    So i choosed some cheaper apartment in smaller city,but there is coal heating. I dont wanna heat for coal.
    So i m thinking to buy electrical heater. And my question . Is this any sense to buy electrical heater when i will be using new pc with rtx 5090 and new intel ( when will be released ) ultra + Psu Seasonic 1600W?
    I expect that i will pay more for bills. But i wanna know this. Will using electrical heater ( i dont know yet how much Watts ) and pc will not trip breakers or something?I mean overload. Thx for answers.

    Or just look for other apartment with normal heating.

    Coal heat in a city? Really? I guess the electricity question is how much a KW hour is. For example here we pay almost 18 cents per KW. It would cost me thousands (about 4K) to heat my house in the winter. With a heat pump it costs me $1200 for heat.
    Furnace oil is like $1.50 per Liter. That would amount to thousands of dollars as well. So compare…

      I dont know if there is one breaker or two. Dont know yet. But what if will be one breaker in new apartment?
      Can i use space heater ( electrical ) + that pc without issues or will be overload?


      Or just unplug ( space heater ) eletrical heater when using pc on games?

        Look at the fuse panel and take a picture. Check the wiring of the power receptacles. Make sure you got a working earth ground. You may want to get an electrician or a friend that knows electrical wiring and check things out before you buy.
        For example:
        1600W : 230V = 6.9A. I think you got 10, 15 and 20A fuses over there. You gotta have more than one fuse. In the bathroom should be a GFI too…
