I have four baseboard heaters side by side running down the length of
my living room. Three of them don't work. Where do I start to look
for the problem and do I need an electrician? I would appreciate any
feedback.

You just need someone who owns a multimeter and knows how to use it is all.

An electrician would be someone who most probaly would fit the bill.

Linda, your average electric baseboard heater is 250 watts per foot. If
you've got four sections, in tandem across the wall, chances are they are
being controlled by electric heat relays, usually mounted at the service
panel and this is where I'd look for a problem, but this is a little
complicated so I'd do what the others recommend and call a pro

Are they all supposed to work from one thermostat or do they each have
separate thermostats mounted in the units?

Is the thermostat on the wall or on one of the units?

It's on the wall opposite from the heaters with a little dial
