IMPORTANT NOTE: If you feel uncomfortable doing this work, or doing the wiring, have a qualified electrician help you.
"...my measurement was not perfect" he says.
I'd say: "he fucked up the wall!" 🤣
He didn't fuck it up. If he cut the hole too wide he would have fucked it up.
Just finished swapping 2 baseboard heaters and I was amazed how easy it has been so far. My question is what to do with the insulation? Best to cut it out or shove to the bottom? Thanks for the Video made life easier! I am amazed at the heat produced by these little units!
Good question. It's best to cut the insulation out. We're glad to hear the video made things easier!
Are wall heater more cost effective than base board heaters?
Sharon Gittens Cadet seems to think so. Definitely more efficient. A unit the width and height of a piece of paper can easily carry 2000 watts of heating power. With baseboard you’d need like a 6 foot plus unit to push the same amount of wattage.
Our heating bill dropped 25% since installing new cadet heaters.
What's the most energy efficient baseboard heater upgrade on a budget?
Is it possible to place one of these wall heaters near to the wall thermostat for the old baseboard heater? I don’t know much about how those two are wired together, but I assume the supply wiring must connect at the thermostat somehow?
Can you use the old thermostat for that cadet upgrade
They make a push-in strain relief connector for Romex cable. It's called a hit connector.
Curious, I installed both units (That have thermostats) and I also have a Thermostat in the wall as well. I noticed below you told Ashley not to mix the two will I be ok? Thanks
Another good question. We suggest that you avoid that situation if possible. It will be fine, just keep the thermostats on the heaters set as high as they go and use the wall thermostat to control the room temperature. If you use a combination of both, it will be difficult to get the room to the temperature you want.

They both look like Electric. Not in gas?
I had two 8 foot 240 volt baseboard heaters...each was 2000 watts 8.5 amps and both were wired to be controlled by a thermostat on the opposite wall. I chose two of the Cadet CEC 163 TW Energy Plus Multivolt with thermostat...one to replace each baseboard heater. The room is 12 x17 but has several large windows and a cathedral ceiling with a ceiling fan and a wood burning stove as the main source of heat. I wanted a back-up source of heat just in case I can't use the wood stove for some reason. The wall heaters will be at almost opposite ends of the room. I put one of these in my bathroom, which was pretty simple because that baseboard heater had an on, low, med, high, off heat dial thermostat on it. My question is, do I need to wire-cap my thermostat wires in a specific way so it allows my wall units to function correctly? Each baseboard had a black, white and bare (ground) wire. My thermostat has several black and white wires and a red wire. I'm confused by the red wire and if I should pair it with a specific color wire(s). It gets very cold here at times (-15- wind chills), so I'd rather have enough heat and run them more efficiently/independently, than not enough heat and have to run them with an increased fan speed to maintain the temp. That wall thermostat confuses me.
Hi there! Thanks for your question. A wall thermostat cannot be used with the Energy Plus heater. The wall thermostat must be removed in order for the Energy Plus heater to operate correctly. To best help you, we would suggest that you reach out to our tech support team. If you can connect with them via Live Chat or the phone, that will be the quickest way to get help.

The small baseboard heater I would like to replace has a thermostat on another wall. If I were to do what you did in the video, what happens to the thermostat?
Hi Ashley, That is a great question. We'd recommend you continue using the wall thermostat to control the new heater. Just make sure you purchase a wall heater that does not come with a built-in thermostat. We also recommend making sure the wattage of the new heater is the same as your baseboard to make sure the breaker and the wall thermostat can handle the new heater. Please let us know if you have any other questions on this!
@@Cadetheat how do you determine the wattage of the baseboards?
I have a hot water heater can i replace to electric board heater??
Hi Carmen, if you are talking about a hydronic baseboard system, then yes, you can replace it with an electric baseboard. There are a few factors to keep in mind when deciding which electric baseboard will work best for you, like rooms size and the climate where you live. We’d recommend reaching out to our customer service team to talk more about your specific situation: cadetheat.com/support/customer-service.
if there is one thing I've realized from these videos... it's I suck at cutting out holes in drywall...
Im confused, where does the heat come from with the wall unit?
Heat coil
I wonder how much more cost efficient this is. my moms house has baseboard and its $$$
Electric heat cost more than Gas/Oil boilers in the long run. You only use electric if it's an area with no Gas hook up. Or the oil transport fee cost is out of range.
Cut twice and measure twice??
what in the world kinda room is that little wall heater supposed to warm up?
Great question! The wall heaters may be little, but they are powerful. We typically recommend using 8-10 watts per square foot, so for instance, a 2000-watt wall heater can heat a 250-square-foot room. This can vary depending on the home’s insulation and the climate of where you live. Here’s a video that goes into more detail on this: czcams.com/video/JoTl5TuS0sU/video.html
