Answers: Is this an electric heating system? If it is, it's a safe bet that you own a 220 volt single phase heater, and probably the pretext why you have the red lead. I wouldn't turn on the breaker until you find-out how your heater is fired. If your oven is electric the red wire does NOT jump to ground.
are the old wires 220v ? is the brand new wh 220v? or are they 110v ? need more info,
