That I'm not sure.
It's an electric baseboard, the thermostat is a single pole, 240v. It's
pretty much just spliced into the line going to the heater.

Each baseboard has its own thermostat.


Having a switch with a higher current rating is never a problem. There is
probably no difference in cost either. Since the heaters are directly
wired, and having 220V, 20A switch, you can have a heater up to 4800 watts.
