How Electric Baseboard Heaters Work

Electric baseboard heaters provide efficient, comfortable heating to all areas of your home. These heaters utilize electric heating coils to create the necessary heating, moved throughout the room by convection. Cool air is drawn through the bottom of the unit and warmed by the interior heating coils and fins, exiting through the top of the heater into your room.

Simple Installation: Electric Baseboard Heaters for Your Space

Baseboard heaters are commonly installed beneath the windows in a home. In this location, they can counter heat loss, which occurs when the room’s warm air meets the cold glass windowpanes.

Advantages of Electric Baseboard Heaters

  • Electric baseboard heaters can provide heat to areas of a home where the central heating system does not extend.

  • Room occupants can adjust the temperature to their liking without affecting temperatures throughout the home.
  • They can be turned off when a space is unoccupied to eliminate energy waste and save money.
