| Whoever wired your house did it the cheap way and used the gfci from the kitchen to have a gfci outlet in the garage which is required. Is it right? May not be because the kitchen is required to have at least two dedicated 20 amp circuits feeding it both being GFCI protected. That does not include a dedicated outlet such as a receptacle for a microwave. Plug the heater into some other outlet in the house that is controlled by a different GFCI and see if it trips. If it does take the heater back. Just because it works may not mean it is right. Not all of the current that is going to the heater is returning back to the outlet so the GFCI is tripping. If the GFCI is OK that means your heater is leaking current somewhere and should not be used. | |
