I really enjoy your videos. Very informative. I have a question (confusion) regarding bathroom wiring. Can we run couple of lights, exhaust fan and 15A duplex gfci outlet on single 15A or 20A circuit in Canada ? Or do we require two separate circuits of 15A (for lights and fan) and 20A ( for gfci).?

May I ask you a quick question? Our contractor wired a 1500W and a 2000W baseboard heater on the same 20 amp circuit in series. Both going to one thermostat. I can't help think the 1500W unit is quite a bit warmer than the 2000W unit. Should he have wired them in parallel do you know?
