I would like to heat my new garage with electric baseboard heaters.
The new garage is 20X24 feet. I would like to use only one 240V #12 2 wire circuit running two heaters at a total of 3800 watts. I plan to use 2 pole 20A breakers and 2c #12 wire.
I would like to have both heaters controlled by one wall mounted double pole thermostat.
How do I run the wire? So far I understand that I first run my one 240V line from my panel to the thermostat. Then I'm confused from what Ive been reading.
Do I run one line from thermostat to heater one, then from heater one a line to heater two, or can I wire both heaters two lines (one to each heater) wired from the thermostat. Once the sequence is determined what are the wiring details.
Thanks for your help
