Frequently Asked Questions
Installation Hardware:
- Use toggle bolts that can withstand the weight of the heater
- Install the heater in the ceiling studs
- Use lever nuts for connections versus wire nuts
- This will ensure the longevity of the connection
Position:
- Ceiling mount heaters: recommended in the middle of the room which will have the best chance to equally heat the room
- Heaters can also go over a window to help offset the cold from the window
- If you have multiple heaters, place the heaters an equal distance apart to ensure equal distribution of heat
- If you are wall mounting, be sure to leave 6” in between the top of the heater and the ceiling per manufacturer instructions
- If you have a sloped ceiling (shed, cathedral, etc.) position the heaters horizontally versus vertically. The steep incline is not recommended for installation.
Thermostat:
- Thermostat should be installed in the “line of sight” of the heater
- Out of direct sunlight
- On an interior wall
- Check to see if your thermostat’s display is visible
- If yes, turn the thermostats temperature up so it is on and verify if heat is radiating from the heater
- If no, verify the following:
- The dedicated breaker is on
- Is there too many electrical appliances on the same circuit?
- If the breaker is on, call and schedule your electrician to identify the following:
- Power to the thermostat
- Power to the heater
- Take an Ohm Test
- Make sure that your electrical circuit is the same voltage as the heater and thermostat, i.e. 120 volts.
- Is there power to the thermostat and is the thermostat responding when calling for heat?
- The power to the thermostat should be 120/240/208 your electrician can measure this with a multimeter
- Does your thermostat engage when you press buttons?
- If your thermostat does not respond, you will need a replacement thermostat
- If your thermostat is receiving power and responding when engaged, have your electrician confirm power to the heater and take a few tests in order to comply with manufacturer warranty requirements.
