I have recently done a renovation on the main floor of my townhouse, being the floors, where I had to remove my electric baseboard heaters (3). When I re-installed them, they do not work. They are 220V heaters, and I have power going to both wires, in the thermostat, any thoughts?

Thanks,

Not much detail to go on, I have to assume that all you did was shut off the power, opened the wiring junction box at each heater to disconnect the wires, capping the wires coming out of the wall, removed the heater,and then reverse the process when the floor was done.

Seems simple enough. Did you work on or open the thermostat? Or panel and breakers? Did you connect the feed cable wires to the same two wires in the heater? If you used the old wirenuts, perhaps there is a bad splice or connection in one or more of the units. This should be the only place a problem could have developed.

Check he feed wires at each unit to be sure there is 220-240 volts. Sometimes , as I think of it, the wire in the heater that actually connects to the heating element gets brittle at the connect to the element, and that may have gotten broken.

Hope this helps, if not any of these ideas, get back with what you did check and the conditions you found, and we can go from there.
