Baseboard heater wiring q
Alright so long story short my place used to have a single baseboard heater in the basement but it was removed (or never fully installed?) well before I bought the place. There was a thermostat for it on the wall though. We have a freezer down there now and I'm hoping to repurpose that circuit so the freezer can have a dedicated breaker like I assume it's supposed to.
The problem is the wiring isn't making sense to me. The panel has two breakers marked for this heater which I believe means it's actually wired for 240V? Since that's how all the other big 240V stuff like the A/C, oven & dryer are set up. With the cover off I can see that one breaker goes to a black wire and one to a white wire.
Downstairs is where I think it gets weird. The box for the thermostat has one cable coming in with the usual one black, one white, one ground. Coming out of the wall where I can only assume the heater was is one cable with the usual one black, one white, one ground.
How can that have worked if there's only one cable in the thermostat box?
