Home Easy Installation. Easy Installation. Installation is easy as ! Remove existing endcaps and front panel from your baseboard heater.
Snap the endcaps onto your new Baseboarders cover. Drop the fully assembled Baseboarders cover over the original heater back plate. No Back Plate? In the example room, install 1 watt heater or install 2 or more heaters totaling watts. The latter method can be employed for rooms at the corners of a building - having 2 exterior walls. Typically, heaters are installed below windows, where most of the heat loss occurs. Adding more watts of heat will allow the room to reach the desired temperature faster than if no additional watts of heat were installed.
Determine size and number of circuits required to serve the heating load. Installing volt heaters is best as wire sizes and number of circuits are significantly reduced. The National Electrical Code allows a 15 amp circuit to carry up to 12 amps, and a 20 amp circuit may carry up to 16 amps. The total watts allowed to be connected can be determined simply by multiplying volts by amps only because this is a purely resistive AC circuit AC wattage calculations are much more complex for inductive and capacitive reactant circuits that exist in appliances and electronics.
This is a maximum of 14 and 19 feet of volt, standard density heat, respectively. Determine a location for the thermostat. The thermostat should be located on an interior wall. It should never be located above a heater or other heat source, or in a dead air space such as behind a door.
Trace a switch box on the wall at 60 inches Cut the wall open with knife or hand saw. Provide a 2 wire circuit 14 for 15 amp circuit or 12 for 20 amp circuit of NM type Romex or similar cable from the electrical panel to the thermostat location. This may require fishing or snaking of the cable between the points, and will probably be most time consuming.
For this reason, many times a single heater sized to heat the entire space is often selected so that fishing or snaking is minimized. Indicate this cable as the "LINE" so it can be determined as such after it has been installed in the box for the thermostat. Unpack the heater s. Examine the heater s and remove BOTH front covers from both ends of each heater. Place the heater s against the wall at the desired location. The two ends are wiring compartments.
Because they are provided, no box es need be installed in the wall. Simply create a small hole in the wall for the cable from which to emerge and pass through appropriate connectors at the back of one of the compartments to allow the cables to enter. Connections are to be made in the compartments. This is detailed below. Provide another 2 wire cable the same size as the one installed earlier between the panel and thermostat, between the thermostat and the baseboard heater.
Indicate this cable as the "LOAD" so it can be determined as such after it has been installed in the box for the thermostat. Install an additional 2 wire cable between the first heater and next heater. Continue to daisy-chain between successive heaters as needed. Install the appropriate cable connector in the desired end of the heater s.
Strip 8 inches Remove the wirenut from the heater wires in the compartment that the cables entered, and separate the wires. Connect the black wires of the cables you installed together if two cables were installed.
Connect the white wires of the cables you installed together if two cables were installed. Connect the bare wires of the cables you installed together if two cables were installed. Connect the bare wire s to the green screw of the heater or, if provided, to the green or bare wire that is connected to the heater case by crimp or screw.
Connect one of the loose heater wires does not matter which to the black wire s. Make sure the wirenut in the wiring compartment at the opposite end of the heater has the wires tightly connected together. Wire the thermostat. Connect ALL the bare and any green wires together with a wirenut. Install a short piece 8" of bare wire between the bare and green wires to the green screw on the thermostat if it is not already connected.
The thermostat has 4 wires or terminals. Connect LINE side to the black and white wires of the cable that was indicated as "feed" earlier. Each of the black and white wires from the panel must connect to one LINE wire or terminal. Under no circumstances should the black and white wire from the panel be connected together. Connect the remaining cable to the LOAD side of the thermostat.
