I am renewing my heater system because it is old. Where can I get more information on electric baseboard heaters?
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.
Split the feed circuit (inside a junction box) and feed the hot to both the baseboard heater with the built in thermostat AND to the 2nd thermostat. If you have any questions, contact a local, qualified electrician, heating specialist or local handyman.
If it has never worked properly, you probably have somehow connected it improperly. Contact a local electrician or qualified handyman to help wire the heater properly.
