Step by step tutorial instructions on How to Remove Baseboard Heaters. Remove those old dangerous baseboard heaters that are notorious for causing housefires. • One thing to think about when you are removing these baseboard heaters is how in the heck you are going to repair the drywall hole, properly secure the wiring, and ask yourself if you are going to upgrade them. I have a few videos on upgrades to new and safer baseboard heaters, however, I went for a couple years just using wood heat (which I thoroughly enjoyed) but eventually had to place new and upgraded baseboard heaters in their place. I made the upgrades safer by placing an additional thermostat control on the baseboard heaters themselves as an additional precaution. This leaves is a second switch or barrier that allows power to connect to the baseboard heater. I initially ended up removing the old ones as they very well nearly burned down the house as one of them seemed to come on automatically during one summer month. I questioned whether or not there was a ghost in this old house. • Buy me a coffee? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/diytechn... • My amazon influencer page: • https://www.amazon.com/shop/diytechni... • Website: • https://www.diy-technician.com • Baseboard heaters can be very dangerous and are nearly the least preferred out of many heat sources available for use with a house. If you are wanting to remove them the video up above shows exactly how to do that. The reason I took mine out was because the house nearly caught on fire because of them. I had to re-install new ones years later due to the potential of selling the house. I used wood heat in place of the baseboards for many years. • For baseboard heater removal: • Step 1: Turn off breaker and double check power is off w/voltage sensor. • Step 2: Unscrew panel to the right or left on the heater itself to expose wires. • Step 3: Unthread wire nuts and pull apart wires. • Step 4: Unmount the heater from the wall. • Step 5: Properly cap/disposition the wires. If you are not installing new baseboard heaters right away, install electrical box in wall and secure wires this way. If you are able to, leave the breaker/s off for the circuit until you are ready to install new heaters. • • https://diy-technician.com • https://the-avant-garden.blogspot.com • Your going to need these: • Screwdriver (prefer cordless) • https://amzn.to/2SfSeSH • • Voltage Sensor: • https://amzn.to/2ShIPK8 • wire nuts: • https://amzn.to/2LxUi5R • https://www.diy-technician.com • Drop a nickel in the bucket: / diytechnician • https://posh.mk/E4zpllwsGcb Mention DIYTECHNICIAN and receive 10% off your first purchase.
