Questions and Answers for Cadet SoftHeat 47 in. 750-Watt 240-Volt Hydronic Electric Baseboard Heater Right Hand Wire White

A:  Can calculate the amp draw this way: amp = Watts divided by Volt. For example, the 1500 Watt baseboard will draw this many amps: 1500/240=6.25 amps. The general rule of thumb is that the amps required cannot exceed 80% of the capacity. Hence, 6.25 amps divided by 0.80 equals 7.8 amps. That means a 1500 Watts baseboard will need a 7.8 amps allocation in the circuit breaker capacity.

A:  Hello Wendy, thank you for your question! These thermostats are not very hard to install, in fact you put them in during the wiring process of the baseboard. We always recommend a license electrician for the installation. Please see link below for the Softheat onboard thermostat kit. http://www.homedepot.com/p/SoftHeat-EBKN-Series-Double-Pole-Integral-22-Amp-End-Cap-Thermostat-Kit-in-White-EBKNW/100120925?keyword=ebknw

A:  Hello, thank you for your question! The cost to run this unit would depend on the amount of time the unit is being ran for and your kilowatts per hour cost in your area. Since 750 watts is .75 kilowatts, the formula would be (your hourly cost per kilowatt) x .75 kilowatts x (Hours of use) = Cost.
