I have two baseboard heaters that total 16 feet and 3000W combined. Would that be pushing this unit too far to the edge?

I really don't have the expertise to answer your question with any authority. However, the thermostat is rated for 3000W max, so I would not be comfortable using this thermostat with your configuration.

The thermostat is rated for 3000 watts, you should be fine. I had to use Honeywell's programmable unit to operate my 3500 watt heating system.

My baseboard heaters are eight feet long. At 240 V & 250 watts per foot, draw is 2k watts. I am very pleased with this thermostat, less than five minutes to install.

You should put the heater near the foot of the bed, maybe six inches to a foot from the end... You can place it anywhere there, but I've read that you should put it within the same distance from a side, so that if you need to move it, it's easier to access...

Maybe. Call the factory and ask if you could return it if it doesn't work out.It "might" fit on the ledge. You "maybe could" extend the ledge a tiny bit with a piece of steel.Check on Youtube to see if they have something relevant. Last time I checked, there were 20 videos on YouTube.No idea on the cfm's, seems to heat up the whole room.

Assuming you have decent insulation, you will need about 6 watts of heating power per sq foot. Electric baseboards pump out about 250watts per linear foot.12 x 12 = 144 sq ft * 6 W/sq ft = 864W required.This 6' baseboard outputs 1500W. So you are more than good.

Yes, as long as the cord is 14 gauge or larger. Number 14 wire will handle 1500 watts (max for this heater). 1500 watts = 12.5 amps. 14 wire maximum is 15 amps. But make sure that the plug ends are secure and make a good connection to prevent overheating of the plugs themselves. The cord itself should probably not be longer than 12 feet, to prevent overheating either cord (the heater cord or the extension cord). The manufacture does not recommend using an extension cord, because some people might use a smaller gauge cord and then have an overheating (possible fire) problem. Using the proper cord will not trip a breaker. Yes, as long as the cord is 14 gauge or larger.

I have mine in a 12x20 garage. Does a great job. Is the heater blowing out heated air? If not you may want to have a electrician friend take a look.

I installed one of these heaters in my 20x16ft 2 story barn/shop and it is a great heater.Here is a little calculation to help you understand what you need. The heater uses 5600W/240v = 23.33Amps (24Amp for calculation). 10AWG wire = 30Amps. 8AWG= 50Amps. You want to stay with in 3% voltage drop. With 10/2 wire you can go safe up to 140 feet and with 8/2 your safe max is 230 feet.In my case it was 20 feet from the 2-pole breaker to the 30Amp receptacle so I used 10/2 (voltage drop 0.4%)

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

I would check on their website but I think this is as small as they come at 500 Watts. http://cadetheat.com/products/baseboard-heaters/baseboard

You will not want to use this heater with that low of a ceiling. It generates massive heat for quite a few feet above the unit. I installed it and had to take it down and return it. I purchased a forced air unit instead. The forced air unit work great!

Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage the unit can support

I'm not quite sure. I was able to easily plug it in, but I wasn't trying to mount the heater as far away from a plug as possible.

Due to wattage limitations (1000), it's probably unsafe to use with a space heater and could be overloaded.

I'd say that is probably pushing it on size. However, using two of these heaters there might work. You might want to try an infrared heater instead. It heats the air pretty effectively and I use one in my 12x15 bedroom as the only heat source here in the mountains.

I have used this heater at approximately 8,000 feet. You should ask the manufacture of the elevation limits.

Thats about how far I put my heater in from the house to the pole barn ran 3/4 in. nat gas line to 3ft from heater than went to 1/2 line
