Fahrenheat Baseboard Heater
What is a baseboard heater?
A baseboard heater wires in at the floor/baseboard level, converting energy into heat that will rise to the ceiling and warm the room. It can be operated by a wall thermostat or a built-in thermostat. Fahrenheat offers two varieties: a standard electric baseboard heater, and a hydronic baseboard heater.
What is the difference between electric and hydronic baseboard heaters?
An electric baseboard heater is installed under a window and uses convection to create heat. Convection draws in cold air from the window and pushes it out/distributing hot air around the room.
A hydronic baseboard heater is filled with a liquid-like oil or water, and as the unit heats up the liquid, warm air fills the room. A hydronic heater takes longer to heat up the room, but the heat lasts longer. Electric baseboard heaters are the easier to install and do not take as long to heat up the room, but the tradeoff is that the heat does not quite last as long. While most baseboard heaters need to be permanently installed at the floor level, Fahrenheat offers a portable hydronic heater, available at HomElectrical.
Are baseboard heaters safe?
Baseboard heaters are very safe, just make sure to keep flammable objects away from the unit, such as drapes for example. Because they are electric, baseboard heaters do not burn off fuel, preventing carbon monoxide poisoning. Fahrenheat even includes a built-in thermal cut-out switch to prevent overheating by shutting the heater off it gets too hot.
What are the advantages of using a baseboard heater?
Electric baseboard heaters last a long time, usually up to 20 years and are easy to maintain. Just keeping them clean from dust and other things can go a long way. Hydronic heaters also last 10-20 years depending on use, but they may require more in-depth maintenance to prevent corrosion. Baseboard heaters are very quiet and take up little space. They are also the simplest to set up and can be done in 2-3 hours. Look for Fahrenheat’s powerful baseboard heaters on HomElectrical.com
