Electric Baseboard Heat Install with ecobee smart Thermostat

In this video I install electric resistive baseboard heaters in my house. Also, I install a transformer/relay so that I can control the electric heat with a low voltage thermostat. In this instance I used an ecobee thermostat. Thank you for watching Down to the Frame!

This is the best (and only) video of someone explaining the whole process for installing a new thermostat. I was so tired of watching everyone just replacing a thermostat and acting like they were the second coming of jesus . THANK YOU and keep doing what you're doing.

haha love this comment! I am glad you found it helpful! Thank you and I will!

Finally, a really good video on how to wire this thing 🙌. Thank you very much!

[@DownToTheFrame]

You’re most welcome!!!

Its been a while since ive been around baseboard heaters. I remember them being slow to heat. But the quality is quite stable.

[@DownToTheFrame]

They did a much better job evenly gradually heating than our original propane system and it is so quiet!

I grew up in Michigan, currently living in California. I dont like the kind of furnace you replaced. You definatly could tell when it was running. Roasting everyone nearby. When I moved into my first apartment, it was heated by steam. I think radiant heat is more comfortable.

Great video as always!

Awesome video! Do you know if the relay you used would be good to run multiple baseboard heaters from? Like if instead of 2 baseboard heaters you could run 4 or 5 to that same thermostat? Same process?

[@DownToTheFrame]

Great question! Personally, I would ask the manufacturer. However, from an electrical stand point it can hold as many baseboards as 20amp amps will allow. So if you have 5 baseboards who’s total 125% amperage is less than 20amp then theoretically the relay will be fine. You just need to wire it in a junction box like I did in the video

Mannn great video! I wished I could pay you to do my house.

Hey bud what type of wiring u used for 240 base board heater.

[@DownToTheFrame]

I used 12/3 because of the calculations I did told me that would be the correct size. I could have also used 12/2 but I like have a neutral wire going to every junction point.

How much electricity these baseboards pull per month?
