Since electric baseboard heaters rely on electricity to generate heat, they offer an almost 100% efficiency rating. This means that electric heating converts close to 100% of the electricity into heat. However, this doesn’t necessarily lead to cheaper operating costs. The cost of electricity differs depending on where you live.
Stelpro offers a wide selection of quality baseboard heater options, including the ASPR series of Prima baseboard heaters. The ASPR series has a high-end, compact design to keep you warm while saving space.
Electric furnaces consist of an enclosed metal box that contains electrical heating elements as well as a blower fan. They pull air into the system and through a heat exchanger, where the electric heating elements warm the air. Pushed out by the blower, this recently warmed air travels through ductwork to heat the home.
Because they don’t use gas, electric furnaces don’t produce toxic fumes such as carbon monoxide.
Stelpro offers a wide variety of thermostats to fit most temperature control needs. Choose from mechanical, electronic, low voltage, or smart thermostats. They also offer thermostats designed for use with specified units, like their built-in thermostats or electronic floor heating thermostats.
Electronic thermostats consist of integrated circuits and fixed components. They use a digital sensor to measure the temperature of the room. Because they offer a much more accurate reading and response than a mechanical thermostat, an electronic thermostat typically costs more.
Mechanical thermostats, sometimes referred to as bi-metal control, use a temperature sensor consisting of two pieces of metal laminated together. These metals use a different rate of expansion when cooled or heated, which controls how the thermostat operates. However, this also means that mechanical thermostats operate within a temperature range instead of an exact temperature.
Smart thermostats consist of a Wi-Fi enabled device that can automatically adjust the temperature. They help reduce energy costs by reducing either heating or cooling when it’s not needed. They only activate heating and cooling when necessary. You can also program them to adjust the temperature at certain times, like when you go to work or come home.
Wall heaters are hard-wired and recess into the wall. Electric wall heaters generate heat using electricity. Unlike baseboard heaters, which rely on the longer process of convection heat, wall fan heaters use a fan to disperse heat, which speeds up the process. This means that wall fan heaters work great in rooms that need to be quickly heated.
Stelpro offers a variety of wall fan heaters, including their AFWF series Pulsair wall fan heaters. This series is made up of efficient, durable, and low noise heaters that can recess or surface mount. With a nichrome element producing instant heat, this series of heaters can warm a room quickly. They feature a 20-gauge steel cabinet and 18-gauge steel grille. Additionally, the Pulsair series can mount vertically or horizontally. Though a built-in or wall thermostat is optional, the use of an electronic thermostat is strongly recommended by Stelpro to control the temperature.
