I have a small living area that has has a cadet wall heater on one side of the room and a 6' baseboard heater on the other side. Both wired to a single wall thermostat. Which seemed like a good idea at the time. But now realize that was a mistake as the wall heater only comes on for short stints and the baseboard heater barely get warm. So I need to isolate them so them can be controlled separately. How can i accomplish easily without running more wire hopefully. Thanks guys.

Does your cadet have a built-in control dial? If so, can you just disconnect the thermostat wire and control it that way?

I does not but wondering if one could be installed in it. The cover does have what is a blank where one would go.

If you have the model # you may be able to find out. It's possible the control is there and it's just set to high.

Yes one can be added. Not sure what all would be needed. Maybe add a baseboard thermostat also, them take out the wall thermostat and use that box for a junction point with a blank cover. Should have separate wires to both heaters from the t stat junction box.

Possibly both load wires come from the stat. A little remodel work could make it happen if that is the case.

Thanks guys. Sounds like we can use the wall mount T stat for just the baseboard heater. Then install a "on the heater" T stat on the wall heater as Ryan suggested. Does not sound like there will be much additional work to make this happen. Thanks guys.

Cadet heaters can be set up for 120V, 208V, or 240V. You need a line thermostat that will work with the correct voltage and amps. Normal 24 volt thermostats will not work.
Cadet makes thermostats for the wall or the unit.

Easiest fix would be install a unit mounted thermostat, and disconnect the wires that run from the cadet it to the old thermostat.
