Electric Baseboard Heater Advantages

A baseboard heater operates quietly at the base of a wall, circulating air through means of convection to produce heat. They are excellent for room additions and areas of your home that are frequently used so you don’t have to waste energy heating portions of your home that you rarely visit. This type of heater operates silently because there is no fan. Installing this type of appliance typically requires some sort of wiring work, so you should leave this type of job to a professional.

So what exactly does a baseboard heater bring to the table in terms of benefits? What makes them a good call for home or home addition heating? These systems can do quite a lot, including:

Plenty of warmth. With a flexible BTU range available, baseboard heaters can be fitted and installed to warm rooms of various sizes. This makes them perfect for heating single rooms and outbuildings.
Efficient heating. Many homeowners loathe using a whole-home heating system because they don’t really use their whole home all that much. If that’s you, then a baseboard heater is ideal! With these systems installed in key rooms throughout the home, you can keep the heat and the energy spent where you want it.
Quiet operation. Many space heaters and wall units make use of fans and other loud systems, but baseboard units heat via convection, meaning they don’t need any noisy components.
Easy maintenance. Just a quick wipe down or vacuum out is all a baseboard needs. No filter changes, no annual tune-ups.

Electric Baseboard Heater Safety

Baseboard heaters are generally safe, but you still want to make sure you’re careful when you, your children, or your pets are around them. Baseboard heater covers will protect you and your loved ones from the hottest tubes, and those covers are standard in most models. This type of heater is typically mounted on a wall, but freestanding models have built-in safety features, such as a shut-off feature if the unit tips over.

As long as you make sure your baseboard heater is properly installed, has safety covers, is not located below any electrical outlets, is not near any drapes and doesn’t touch the floor, you can be assured of safe operation.
