Turn off power to base board heater at the breaker box. Disassemble the wall thermostat and twist and use wire nuts on the wires that were on the thermostat, matching color to color. You can get a blank plate at a hardware store to cover the opening.Next, remove the baseboard heater and install your wall unit. Follow the directions for the wall unit for electrical connections. Be sure the voltage of the new unit is the same as the old unit. (probably 220v) turn breaker back on, you should have power to new unit.

  • John himself:

    Call an electrician to connect it. Without knowing the wattage of the old and the new heater, and other information concerning the wiring, there is no way of giving you accurate advise.
