Baseboard Heaters
Let’s get warm and cozy!
Are there rooms in your home that always feel a little too chilly? Want to take the nip out of the air without relying on a dangerous space heater? If you answered yes to any of the questions, then it’s time to contact John's Electric.
John's Electric can make any room in your home warmer and cozy by adding baseboard heaters. Baseboard heaters are great alternatives when it’s not practical to extend the existing heating system to supply heat to a new addition, or the existing heat is not adequate.
Why Choose Baseboard Heaters?
Electric baseboard heaters are zonal heaters controlled by thermostats in each room. The size of the heater you’ll need depends on the size of the room. One of our electrical experts will inspect your home, check out the rooms where you want the heaters installed, and figure out the right heater size for your space. We’ll also make sure you have the correct circuits to handle the installation safely.
How Do Baseboard Heaters Work?
Baseboard heaters contain electric heating elements encased in metal pipes that stretch from one end of the unit to the other. Here’s how they work:
- As air inside the heater warms up, it rises into the room.
- Cooler air is then drawn into the bottom of the heater, creating a consistent flow of warm air throughout the space.
For maximum efficiency, baseboard heaters should ideally be installed under windows. The heat they produce will neutralize the cold air that comes in through the windows. They’re also best placed on perimeter walls, as that’s where the greatest heat loss typically occurs.
Why You Need a Professional Installation
There are specific rules and guidelines that must be followed when installing a baseboard heater, which is why you should always have a licensed professional handle the job. At John’s Electric, our priority is keeping you and your family safe. Let’s face it—there’s nothing more dangerous than improperly installed electrical equipment.
If a baseboard heater is installed in the wrong location, isn’t installed correctly, or isn’t connected to the proper circuit, it could lead to serious safety risks. Don’t take that chance—our licensed professionals are here to make sure everything is done right the first time.
