IMPORTANT NOTE: If you feel uncomfortable doing this work, or doing the wiring, have a qualified electrician help you.
*Install was easy **fireplace.homes** good although I personally had some difficulty with the thermostat I had. Issue was mine though, not realizing that electric heaters couldn't use oil thermostats. Tip: If you are using an external thermostat, run the power to the thermostat, not the unit. Once that was squared away it worked great.*
Steve seems like a great guy tbh
A wall thermostat can be installed on a heater without built-in thermostat? Also, is there a thermostat with a timer to cut off the heater if accidentally left on? Thanks
Is it ok to have space between the wall can and the drywall if the hole is too big? If not, what is the fix?
i have a 240 v heater i know it requires a 20 amp double pole single throw circuit breaker , what is the required awg is it 12 awg or 10 awg ?
Exactly what I needed!
Cadet - What is the purpose of the little foam pad?? Thanks!! Love your products!!
William Rawley vibration?
The Cadet box is tapered, so the foam pad stabilizes and tips the box so that the face is perpendicular to the drywall. Hopefully that makes sense.
We just bought a condominium with these heaters. I would like to add a wall thermostat to the bathroom heaters. Is this possible? The units in the bathroom have both a timer control and a thermostat control built in. How do I add a wall thermostat above these heaters?
Hi Steve I really liked your video I just had one question which wire's do you hook up to your white and your black coming from the wall to the heater
Hi Robert. Great question. For 240 volts, it does not matter which heater wire you hook up to the wires coming from the wall as both supply wires are hot. For 120 volts, the white wire coming from the wall is neutral, not hot, so you would connect the white supply wire to the white heater wire and the black wire would be connected to the remaining heater wire.
Hello, I have 12/2 NM-B wires on a 20AMP. Which baseboards heaters should I use? The room is 200sq ft. And also which thermostat? Thank you!
It is against the NEC code to color code wires by tape on any wire smaller than #6 awg.
I'm replacing an old heater that has a wall thermostat; how I can install one with a built-in thermostat instead?
This wasn't helpful whatsoever. I chose this because I wanted detailed steps on how to do the thermostat.
I can't figure out how to register for the warranty. Using their address all I get is this video. What's the trick?
Will a cadet with a built in thermostat work when connected to a wall thermostat? If not, is there a work around? I bought and installed a Compact that won't come on. It has a thermostat and is connected to a thermostat on the wall. Unfortunately it isn't working and the time period to return /exchange is over. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Sully. Thanks for your question! When you have a heater with a built-in thermostat and a wall thermostat, there are a couple of options to choose from to get your heater working. Here is a link to a video of ours that walks you through the options: ua-cam.com/video/i_1_OyTjvjI/v-deo.html
Where, as in which country was that installation done? I don't recognise the wiring colours. I'm use to Red=Hot/Active, Black=Neutral/Return , Green & Yellow= Earth/Ground
This was filmed in the United States. The color wires shown in the video are typically what you see when it relates to standard residential wiring but colors can change from installation to installation. The important thing is to get the hot, return and neutral wires hooked up to the correct leads on the heater.
That was TERRIBLE!! What a waste of time. Why didn't you show how to wire the thermostat????
HI, is it possible to wire so that one thermostat can control multiple units in a larger room?
thanks chris
Hey Chris, Yes you can connect multiple heaters to one thermostat as long as they're in the same room. Just be sure that the thermostat can handle the total amp draw of the heaters and wire the heaters in parallel, not series. The instructions for this are in the heater owner's guide. We're going to try to get a video for this in early 2019. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Hi so Im ordering 2, 2000 watts cadet register heaters to go on a 240 volt 30 amp line. I'm having trouble finding a direct line thermostat that can handle that load. do you make a thermostat that can handle it? thanks Chris
Would this thermostat make the wall heater turn off once the room reaches the desired temperature??? like thermostats on baseboard heaters
Hey Jack, Yes the thermostats will shut the heaters off once the room reaches the desired temperature.
@@Cadetheat thanks gonna look for a thermostat, mayb nest smart thermostat
Glad to help. Please check in with Nest to see if they work with electric resistance heaters. Last we looked they did not support our type of heaters
For a force flow heater like this one, unless it is your only heater i would advise not using a Nest. waste of money Just get a line voltage thermostat . (not sure if nest is even compatible with 120-240 control)
For a 240v application, what size breaker do you recomend.
That depends on how many heaters you will be installing and the total wattage. A 30-amp, 240-volt breaker can power up to 5,760 watts, a 20-amp breaker can power up to 3,840.
1 heater that is 1000w. Already have a double ploe 20amp breaker. Is the 20 amp double pole ok to use for the 1 heater?
@@STOCKMOMO Yes. I have several of these heaters in my home and they are all, individually connected to a 20 amp breaker.
They always make it sound so easy to run wires to the breaker. lol
I have been an electrician for almost 40 years. And its never easy. I love when the customer says " it should take an hour right?" and they never run into problems on these videos.
@@jstevens501 especially when you're to staple the wires through an obstacle course(s) in the joists more obstacle courses then to the sub-panel. The no one ever respects the 3 foot clearance around the breaker box. An hour lol. Maybe you should bill them the hour extra and take that time walking them through it. Let them do the fishing the line on your time there a couple bonus hours.
it is relatively easy but time consuming and you have to be creative.
Running to the breakers is the easiest wiring I've ever done. I can't believe how much an electrician will charge for such a simple job.
@@maddawgnoll perhaps with your house. I'd have to open walls, climb ancient attics, and Jimmy wires down shafts of doom.
What kind of wall thermostat do I need for one 240volt unit?
Hi Manuel, great question! There are many options of wall thermostats to choose from as most are able to support a 240v unit. Here is a link to our thermostat selection guide that will help you decide which option is right for you: cadetheat.com/choosing-the-right-thermostat
Can you tell me the model of heater and thermostat used in this video?
Hi, We used a Com-Pak heater: cadetheat.com/products/wall-heaters/com-pak and the TH114 thermostat: cadetheat.com/thermostats/TH114
Not explained step by step.
Only half of the info required. How about the thermostat wiring. A full wiring diagram would help. Too busy selling a Cadet heater I fear.
Thermostat wiring instructions come with the specific thermostat YOU decide to install. There are way too many options for them to have included this information in this video.
Piss poor example of wiring for a 220VAC setup. You ran a 2 wire where there should have been a 3 wire. Your explanation is poor as to why. Code violations.
After I see this video is kinda waste my time lol I learn better do my sale
This guy just told you the basics not the real think, just my thought about it, don’t get mad people that my owners opinions
Electric pulls a lot of power and not as safe as gas.
Hi David, you’re right, there are pros and cons to all types of energy sources. You have to be careful when dealing with both electricity and gas. We wouldn’t necessarily say one is safer than the other, but we can say that when installed and used properly, electric heat is a safe option. And a no-brainer for homes that do not have access to gas!
This is terrible. 12-3 (black/red/white wires) w/ground should be run from the load center. Not 12-2 as shown.
Hey Bill, Thanks for providing your feedback. Yes, in a lot of cases you would need 12-3 wire for 240V service, but not in the case of our heaters. Our heaters only need two hot wires and no neutral so 12-2 would be the correct wire to use. This is what licensed electricians use to install our heaters -- we also had one review this video before we posted it. That being said, there could be a case where local code requires something different so it's important that people check with local building offices before installing to make sure they're meeting local requirements.
Yeah and cadet should put a damn off button on this damn thing to so you can turn it off. I bought a home that had one of these and to my surprise no switch to turn off at all! Had to flip breaker to turn off!!!
you dont always need a neutral. so why pay for one. example. Tesla charger, AC, compressor, welder. so you still think its terrible?
@@isaiah4465 And how is that Cadet's issue? Obviously your heater was installed incorrectly, without a thermostat, or did not have a built-in thermostat.
That's why he marked the natural with the black tape !!! Standard in the industry!! You should actually know what you are talking about before you make comments on someone's video!!
