Baseboard Heater Removal
I recently eliminated a base board heater in my bedroom which is the furthest from the electrical. The 220 wire comes from the top of the stud wall down to where the heater use to be.
My question: Are these heaters typically hooked up (connected) in tandom? Can I go back to the baseboard in the previous room and disconnect the wire coming out of the baseboard? I want to discharge the line and leave it in the wall. Thanks for any help on this. Kyburz |

Depends on where the thermostat is. If it is on the unit, AND there is only one cable in the heater, then the line could come from another heater on that circuit or right from the panel.
If there is a wall stat then it likely comes right from there, if there are no other heaters on that thermostat. |

The heater was on an outside wall. The themostat is on the inside wall perpendicular to the outside wall. So, you are saying that the electrical source for the heater runs to the thermostat and then to the heater. So, it is likely on its own circuit? New Question: What the best way to discharge the electrical source. At the thermostat? Or at the panel? Or where? Thanks for the input! Kyburz |

Always use the circuit breaker to "discharge" anything and put a piece of tape on the flipped breaker so know one accidentally turns it back on while working on the branch circuit. If you do discharge the line and want to leave it in the wall it has to be totally disconnected from its source or at the panel box. If panel box pull wire off breaker and cut wire no mistakes on re energizing it. Mark breaker left in box and tag disconnected. I would get a cheap tester at least and check what's hot and what's not. Signed 21 Boat If I Helped To Answer Your Question Please Rate My Answer |
