This is more a video about what I must say is a clever technique for patching sheetrock with a few electrician tidbits. I do like that you cut the hole for the heater a little snugger than Cadet calls for in the instructions. I think I'll use your suggestion.
enjoyed you video, well done. I like the way you incorporated using the hot patch on the hole of the dry wall, question what size wall heater would need to be used for a small bedroom size 12'x11' with 7ft ceiling? it's in a mobile home.
I left a couple earlier comments and then took them off. You wired this right... There is another heater in line with this heater. Sorry for the confusion Ron. Nice job.
*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.*
How important is it to have the heater on a dedicated circuit? The instructions say to not have other outlets, lights, or appliances on the same circuit. Is the concern overloading, or something else? I'm trying to install in a finished basement and routing a new circuit sounds like a pain. Thanks!
Hello Paul, when working with 240 Volt system each cable carries 120 volts, with that said the black cable carries 120 volts too equaling 240 volts. Okay to get to your question why are there 2 white cables. This is a good question, the answer to that is this. The reason you might have only one white cable is this, your heater is at the end of the circuit. The heater example that I"m wiring up has another heater in the bedroom. This extra cable carries power to that room just like if it came from your breaker box. So you won't have two whites and two black cables. I hope this answer your question, and thanks for watch my videos. Ron
@@ppmproduction6436 thx Ron. My living room also have thiskind of situation. One termostate link with 2 wall heaters. both of them is 240 volt. Yesterday I disconnect one of the white line, and removed 2nd wall heater and block the wall. so with the first one, should I purchase a new one with 240 volt or I have to replace the first one with a 120 volt?
10awg would be overkill. depending on the watts of the heater. most cadet heaters draw 8.5 amps per phase but still require 20A 2 pull breaker because of the use of 12awg wire. you can use 12/2 because 240v doesn't require a neutral. so you can rephase the white at the panel.
At 7:48 (7 minutes, 48 seconds) in the video, you start the discussion of patching a hole in the wall with the piece of drywall you cut out to install the heater. What does that patching technique have to do with the main topic of installing the heater?
David DeRolph I think it for people who are switching from a baseboard heater to a wall heater. Just showing how to patch where the old wiring hole was at.
Where is your ground bond? You didnt properly tape up the white to indicate its a hot wire. Not cool to make videos that teach improper code violation techniques. Drywall Patch is called a California patch but still needs tape on the edges.
You didn’t show what you connected the red wire to

Nice work and good finish. TY! Looking for a stronger heater.

Quick question me in similar situation, so the insulation , that doesn't get heat up from the heater is that a fire risk,

You don’t really need a dedicated circuit as long as there isn’t any extra load
What is that screw called that you used to screw in the 2x4?
Those are Tork Screws or you can use any kinds. I just like using these types of screws because of the grip on the tip. Thanks for asking
Very good video
I just put this same Cadet heater in the Double unit not the single like yours. Not working It's blowing out Cold Air Smh
You might try using the proper wire nuts for the wire size that you're using......you should have used reds not beige!!
why there are 2 cables(white) in this video, my home only have one

and my breaker is 2 15 together.
why are all the videos i see on this using like 12/2 or 10/2 and no one is using 10/3?

you can use my reciprocating saw...

You need a wire nut with the ground wires as well.
Hardly. He tied it to the box.
Wire nut on ground wire is not required by my local inspectors.

Very bad
