I removed my baseboard electrical heaters (1981 installed) due to finishing off the room. When I had a new AC ductwork installed they changed the wires for some reason?(1988) so the wires to the heates are live but they removed the heater control from wall. Now, years later I am wondering what I did was
100% SAFE. After getting advice from other electricians with the fuse OFF I cut the wires and wire-nutted them..separate and taped with electrical tape.
It has been 8 years since I did this. I am now selling my house and wondering if it could ever catch fire? I am thinking it is safe like the wires that are attached to outlets in the wall. I had a "master electrician" look at this issue before I did it myself and he couldn't figure it out....I am wondering if I could pull the wire out (seems impossible to do though) and I wouldn't know if it was attached to another wire to a nearby outlet or not. Thanks for any advice.
