Hello,I've got a baby on the way, and before she gets here, I'd like to upgrade the baseboard heater with an in-wall unit.Looks like the baseboards were installed well after the house, and they have their own dedicated lines running from the breaker box. The current boards are 240v, so I figure I'd swap with a wall heater of the same.I have some questions and am trying to figure out if this is something I can tackle or if I absolutely need an electrician.First, the wires for the BB heater come through the floor, so I'm going to pull them down and come back up through the wall. I need to splice the existing run with a new Romex line so that I can put the wall heater under the window. I figure I'll splice this in the floor and then run the new line up through into the wall. How do I determine what kind of Romex I need.Second, how do I determine if it's single pole or double? There's an existing wall thermostat (that's all beat up) that I plan on replacing along with the wall heater.Any advice for this? If I need an electrician, any idea on what a fair cost is? All the wiring is easily acceptable in the basement, and the "hardest" part is cutting through the lathe and plaster and I assume splicing the junction box.Thank you ! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2wOrLUF
