Hello Everyone,
I'm replacing two electric baseboards in my condo. I'm looking for advice on where to buy the heaters. Here's what I need:

1x 60" Baseboard 240v (I think) connected to in-wall thermostat.

1x 30" baseboard (Don't know voltage) with a thermostat on the face of the heater.

I'm having a hard time finding one that has a built in thermostat. Help! :)

Thank you!

Oftentimes the unit-mounted thermostat is an accessory add-on to a standard baseboard. Certainly easier to install but less responsive to the room temperature.

Thanks for the response! I just need to replace a unit that has it on there already and I don't want to install a t-stat in the room.

Do you have any recommendations on a) Where to find the heater + add on adjustment knob and b) how to find the voltage of the heaters?

Thank you!
Jed

Might try Grainger if you can buy from them. But like said the "unit-mount tstat" you buy it by itself to go on the base board heater .
They have Qmark and Fahrenheat
