Wiring Thermostat
For those who read the other post, I dropped the recessed wall heaters
idea. I am planning an addition where I would indstall two plain 4 ft. electric baseboard heaters controlled by their own thermostat (one thermostat for both). The rest of the house has hot water radiators. I figured I would by two 750W 3' units from QMark or Comet (the room is a little over 100 sq. ft.) First, I am wondering what the big difference is between 120V vs. 240V (beside the obvious). What would make me pick one over the other? I am also having a hard time figuring out the wiring. On the wall, I should have one wire going to the unit #1 and one wire down to the basement. Do I need a relay box of some kind down there? I was also gonna put both units on one breaker, daisy chained together if you will. Is that a bad plan? Since we're contracting the work out ourselves, I am trying to be as prepared as possible when the electrician comes by to quote me on the work. Thanks. |
