Hello:
Can the wiring for a 240 volt baseboard heater be used as a source for 240v.
My understanding is there is no neutral in the baseboard wiring?
Yes. For 240, you don't need a neutral. Aside from that, some
installations include the white wire, but it is left unconnected
at both the panel and the baseboard.
But - there's always a but - you can't just willy-nilly add a
240 volt receptacle. You have to remove the heater. There are
(or were in the past) some baseboard heaters that include a 240V
receptacle and a double pole double throw center off switch.
Without the switch, a receptacle can ba a physical part of
the baseboard gheater, but must be powered from a separate
circuit. See NEC article 210.52
