Greetings Gang!

I have acquired some electric baseboard heaters from my sister. I have taken them apart trying to find some writing as to wattage so I can figure what type of wire I need, however, there is no writing anywhere to indicate name, model, wattage or anything.

Is there any other way to determine wattage?
Thank You

If there is no identification on the units you will have to hook them temporary and use a amprobe to see how much current they draw. The curent draw will tell you what wire size to use.

14=15 amps12=20amps 10=30 amps ETC
