    Wiring for baseboard heater
    I need help wiring my downstairs with baseboard heaters. First Heater: I have the main power supply and wire from the thermostat coming in. I then have a wire running from my first heater to the second heater. The heaters are 220-volt. What wires do I connect in order to complete the circuit?

    Back up Cochese,

    Where are you getting the 240 VAC from and what is the amperage of the breaker that is going to source the power for the heaters?

    What is the Amperage needed by the heaters? This is critical to your circuit design.

    What type of wiring do you have from the breaker to the input of the thermostat, for example is it 12/3, 12/2 or 8/3.

    Please respond as soon as you can.
