I have a room with four baseboard heaters, two to the left of a sliding door to the deck, and two to the right. I want to remove the heater on the extreme right, which is on an adjacent internal wall, to free up wall space. I have temporarily disconnected it and capped off the wires while I am laying new flooring, but I discovered that the heater next to it has stopped working as a result. The two to the left of the door still work. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the remaining heater working again?

Thanks for your time.

Install capped wires in an outlet box and run wire from box to remaining heater. If u have base molding u can remove molding and make notch in stud to accept wire. Cover wire with steel plate so u don't put a nail in it when putting base back.

Good luck
