I've got a 1500W space heater but I run it on the lower power setting
(900W) because i'm afraid the 1500W setting would burn the house down as
it is fed with #14 on a 15A circuit.

Seems like even 12 amps on a #14 circuit is too much?  I get a little
puckery thinking about running 12A for hours on #14.
