    There will be a circuit breaker or fuse at the main panel that will isolate the heater, make sure that is off before you do any work on the stat, and check with a meter that there are no volts present before you do any more.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    If this is a serious question then I suggest you need assistance from a professional.
    One of the most important aspects of DIY is knowing not to take life endangering risks.
