The controlling device would be noted as --------I I-------- denoting the Normally Open contacts of a relay and the would be wired to the Hot side. I cannot show you the symbol for a thermostat due to keyboard limitations.

Can an electric baseboard heater be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom?
Yes, an electric baseboard heater can be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom.
What is a resistor that can be found in a house?
A baseboard heater will fall into this category.
Is there a switch available to control power to a thermostat for 20A 240V electric baseboard heater?
There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
Can a 2-pole circuit breaker be used for 110V 220V or 440V?
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
How do you know what the voltage of your electric baseboard heater is if there is no label on the heater?
Go to your power panel and look for two pole breakers. If there are any 20 amp two pole breakers there is a good chance that they are for the baseboard heaters. Switch this breaker off and turn your thermostat up. If the baseboard heaters do not come on and get hot then this is the supply for them. A two pole breaker is supplying 240 volts to the heaters. Most likely there will be more that one heater on the circuit. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the lowest price for a baseboard heater?
The price of a baseboard heater is going to depend on the brand and length of the heater you are going to buy. You can get one for as little as $27 for a 30 4ft. baseboard.
How far away should furniture be from a baseboard heater?
From 100 to 150 mm from the front face of the baseboard heater.
How many BTUs in a 6 ft baseboard heater?
The number of BTUs in a 6 ft baseboard heater would depend on the model and specifications of the heater. On average, a 6 ft baseboard heater can generate around 1,000-1,500 BTUs per linear foot, so a 6 ft baseboard heater may produce approximately 6,000-9,000 BTUs.
How can I turn off a baseboard heater?
To turn off a baseboard heater, locate the thermostat or control knob on the unit and set it to the "off" position. This will stop the heater from generating heat.
Can an electric baseboard heater be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom?
Yes, an electric baseboard heater can be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom.
When was the baseboard heater invented?
The first electrical baseboard heater was invented by William Wesley Hicks. The first patent for the heater was filing in 1925 and later issued on March 27, 1928.
What is the length of a 1500 watt baseboard heater?
The length of a 1500 watt baseboard heater can vary depending on the model and manufacturer. Typically, a 1500 watt baseboard heater can range from around 48 to 72 inches in length. It's best to check the specifications provided by the manufacturer for the specific heater you are interested in.
What are the steps involved in baseboard heater replacement?
The steps involved in baseboard heater replacement include turning off the power, removing the old heater, measuring and purchasing a new heater, installing the new heater, connecting the wiring, and testing the heater to ensure it is working properly.
What are the installation requirements for a 220 baseboard heater?
The installation requirements for a 220 baseboard heater include ensuring proper electrical wiring, a dedicated circuit, appropriate voltage, and sufficient clearance around the heater for safety and efficiency. It is important to follow manufacturer instructions and local building codes when installing a 220 baseboard heater.
What is the recommended thermostat for an electric baseboard heater?
The recommended thermostat for an electric baseboard heater is a line-voltage thermostat designed specifically for use with electric heating systems.
How do you wire in a lowvoltage thermostat control to a baseboard heater?
Most baseboard heaters use hi voltage thermostats.
What is a resistor that can be found in a house?
A baseboard heater will fall into this category.
