How to wire thermostat for electric baseboard?

Dec 27, 2007 by Mike D | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

I have a 240 volt electric baseboard heater and trying to update my thermostat. Old thermostat has two wires, new thermostat has four wires, two of which are labeled load and other two labeled line. Could you explain how I wire the new one? What is

If it's 240V., your heater has two 'phase` wires.
Your old thermostat only opened one of these
wires, interrupting the circuit, but leaving a live
wire connected to the heater.
After this fried a 'DIY`er or two, it was required
