Questions and Answers for Cadet 30 in. 240/208-volt 500/375-watt Electric Baseboard Heater in White

A:  Hi DeeDee, Yes, you can install on carpet as that is not thick. Make sure it is om floor. Glen Dimplex Americas Customer Experience Team

A:  Hi Joelia, This is not a plug in this needs to be hardwired. Glen Dimplex Americas Customer Experience

A:  There is no cord, so you couldn't "plug this in." You could repurpose that line and use it to run power to this heater. You'll want to let an electrician do it, but they can disconnect the wire from the 220 plug and run it to this unit instead. You'll have to put a "blank cover" on the plug's old box or do a small patch job on the sheet rock to cover the small hole left behind. It's good that you already have the wiring run. That's what costs so much. This should be a real quick job for a knowledgeable electrician.

A:  we used this size for a bathroom.  

A:  HI Wanda, It depends on the space you are trying to heat. Glen Dimplex Americas Customer Experience Team

A:  I recently renovated an entire house with these heaters in every room. All were mounted on sheetrock with the wooden baseboard cut out. That's how the original heaters were installed, so we replaced them the same way.

A:  Best practices demand that you install multiple heaters in parallel and observe proper wiring size and fuse/breaker size charts. Daisy chained implies a series connection and is likely prohibited by code in your area. This is especially true if the heaters are not all the same wattage.

A:  Good Day, Multiple baseboard heaters can be wired in parallel on the same circuit breaker (check national and local codes for safety requirements). Glen Dimplex Americas Customer Experience Team

A:  No, these heaters are strictly 240V

A:  The heater will work with 120 volts however it will produce a significantly smaller amount of heat.

A:  No it won't.

A:  no, they make heaters for both 120 & 240. Just buy the one that fits your need. It's really not that complicated.

A:  Good Day, The one you list is designed for 240V. 3F750-1W is designed for 750W/120V. Glen Dimplex Americas Customer Experience Team

A:  Yes, but will require twice as many amps and perhaps larger wire size. 240V is recommended.

A:  Good Day Bobb, This would be an improper install and we have not tested the unit upside down so we can not support this install. Thank You Cadet Consumer Service Team.

A:  This unit cannot be recessed or mounted into a wall. This would cause the unit to over heat or super heat the surface it is mounted in resulting in an unsafe condition. I recommend install as described in the manual only. Thank you.

A:  Thermostat controller.

A:  You have to either install a thermostat on one end or the other of the radiator, connect it to a wall thermostat designed for this type of radiator.

A:  You wire it to a 240 volt thermostat which you can wall mount. analog dial type or Digital, https://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Home-Non-Programmable-Mechanical-Electric-Baseboard-Heater-Thermostat-CT410B/100574426 Or Honeywell Digital ones that switch Line Voltage. . This Cadet one is analog non programmable that fits to the face of the heater so no additional wall wiring but not best sensing position in room https://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Home-Non-Programmable-Mechanical-Electric-Baseboard-Heater-Thermostat-CT410B/100574426 the digital ones https://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Home-5-2-Day-Baseboard-Programmable-Thermostat-with-Digital-Backlit-Display-RLV4305A/100566648 These ramp up and switch baseboards on and off to maximize efficiency as they heat up so they do not get overly hot going from cold to room tempurature. You have to set them for baseboard and or Fan based for appropriate use.

A:  If you want an onboard thermostat look for a BTF1W or you can use a wall thermostat to control them as well. Give us a call and we can go into greater detail 855-223-3887 thank you.

A:  It's wired into wall which is connected to a manual thermostat dial on opposite wall.

A:  You can install a unit mount thermostat to mount in the heater, or use a wall mount line voltage thermostat to install in a wall. Both are available at Home Depot. The unit mount of course involves less wiring.

A:  The unit will generate heat but it depends on your thermostat for the operating range. Also the size of your space. We typically recommend 10 watts per square foot in a well insulated space at sea level. I would recommend calling in and speaking to one of our experts at 855-223-3887 and they can help you get specific and give you great tips to make this work. Thank you.
