In theory yes but in reality hardly does any electric heater advertised or labelled as "1500 watts" actually consume that much power, in some cases much less. I have a gaggle of so-called "1500 watt" electric heaters and only one of them comes anywhere near close to drawing 1500 watts, rather ~ 1440 watts, with all the rest much less. My Kill-a-Watt meter is a handy device for measuring actual draw like this. :)
