    hooking up 240v portable heater either to plug or thermostat

    I paid twenty bucks for the two. I have now attached an actual picture of what is in the junction box. So if I keep it like this i will only be runny at 120v? Which means it would not put out 4800watts if I'm correct What would I do with other end of the red wire?

    hooking up 240v portable heater either to plug or thermostat

    That can be an option, but I was wondering what the original owner did with these, I dont get it lol. The photos of the auction didn't really show the plug. Is it better for me to just put a 240v outlet and reattach the 240v plugs?
