What kind of wiring do I need to run from the thermostat location to the heater location? I need to run wiring NOW before delivery.

You will use the same wire for the whole Job 10-2 Gauge Wire..... 10 -2 AWG Wire From The Circuit Breaker Panel to the Thermostat, and 10-2 AWG Wire from the line voltage Thermostat to the Electric Unit Heater

Hello Ana. I do not know the use and location of your installation. I installed my in a trailer. I have to use a small couplings due to my installation. Just take your heater to any plumbing store ( recommend HomeDepot) and tell them were you will install it and they will help you with what you need. It is not difficult at all. Fallow the electrical instructions.

Not sure about your heating system, but mine has two wires only. I connected them to R and W with no issues.

My heater used four wires. But the directions gave several different ways to wire the thermostat. You should be able to go on line with Honeywell an get the instructions. So far it is a great thermostat, lay in bed or on the way home and can turn the heater on or off with my iPhone. Also can talk to it to get it to turn up or down the heat.

Connect the ground you have screwed to the heater to the supply ground. The thermostat doesn't need a ground but the heater does.

The unit I ordered and received specifically did not have a power cord. I purchased grounded 12-gauge cable from a local store, cut to length, and wired it. It was fairly simple. Just remember to use a proper gauge of cord that is appropriate to the length needed--to limit resistance and possible overheating/fire. The only other wiring needed was the connection of the thermostat cable that came with my unit.

I had this problem. Took off the cover & had an exposed wire that was shorting out. Ran new wire to the heater. Working fine.

If the circuit is controlled by this thermostat, yes. If your wiring goes from the breaker directly to the heaters, no. This thermostat is intended to replace wall mounted thermostats, not on-board thermos. If you are replacing a wall mount thermo, then a series wired set of heaters is ok. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum amperage for the entire set. So Amperage = (sum of watts of all heaters on the circuit)/208 volts. The max load for this thermo is 12.5 Amps or 2600 watts total at 208V. Consult with your favorite electrician if you are unsure. If you want a digital on board thermo then use this: Cadet #03400 208/240V White Thermostat If the circuit is controlled by this thermostat, yes.

You need to make sure that the placement of wires at the heat pump match and are the same at the thermostat. There are multiple wiring diagrams that come with the product.

Check the number of strands in the existing thermostat wire. You need 3 strands for this thermostat. I had only 2 strands so I have to run a new 3 strand wire.

Good question, this thermostat doesn't have a ground wire connection so I would wire the breaker wire ground to the heaters ground wire. Read your manuals first before wiring any product.

The heater wiring does not extend to the outside of the heater. You would need to have your electrician bring the house wiring into the heater and splice it inside the heater splice box. The splice box is located under the top cover of the heater.

Assuming that you are replacing an existing thermostat, replace the wires in the exact same sequence as the old. I always make wires before I remove them. If it is a new installation refer to the furnace wiring instructions. If you are a novice electrician, call a professional installer. It costs money ,but you will get heat and cooling that works.

If your air and heating runs off your old thermostat then this should have the same wiring. I did go with this to replace a Coleman, so can't be much help.

Yes just be aware of what else maybe drawing off the circuit you are looking to add the heater to. Requests a dedicated circuit.
