Electric Baseboard Heaters
An electric baseboard heater is an individual unit which heats a house room-by-room. This tupe of heaters requires no expensive duct work and no central heating. These heaters are less efficient than the majority of central heating systems, but they use principles of air flow and radiation to work better than the majority of other space heating units.
Electric baseboard heaters look like hydronic baseboard heaters, however, they use electric heating coils for non motorized convection heating. Baseboard heaters don’t have room and they are not proportioned for effective motorized cooling, so they let the environment to take care of moving the hot air out of the way.
Cool air is drawn into the bottom slots and warmed by the heating fins and coils by using convection. After that the warm air exits from the top slots of the unit. These units are generally placed beneath windows to counter heat loss through the glass.
In order to control the baseboard heater a remote line voltage thermostat may be used. It may also come with an integrated thermostat control. It’s very important to keep the unit unobstructed by furniture and clear of drapes for best performance.

Hot Water Baseboard Heaters
Hot water baseboard heaters, which are also called hydronic baseboard heaters, channel hot water through pipes to individual baseboard heating units to heat rooms and use cantral heating at the same time. These baseboard heaters are undoubtedly an efficient heat source. Actually, they tend to be more efficient than other central heating systems. This type of heaters is perfectly used with radiant flooring, which has the heating pipes run under the floor of the house. Flooring in a large amount of house, however, makes this installation quite impractical. Hot water baseboard heaters are a very efficient alternative for hydronic heating and they won’t cause the initial installation to skyrocket.
A boiler heats water and sends it through pipes from heater to heater with hot water heating. Every heater takes some amount of heat from the water and sends it on to the next heater. This means, with a low end installation, Â that the units which are further away from the boiler get less heat. Generally, installing flow control valves is going to stabilize the heat in each room by forcing the earlier units to use less water, and preserve heat for later in the system. These units are also adjusted so that the smaller rooms receive less heat than larger rooms. You should talk to a contractor about the safety features and the possibility of their disrepair or failure.

Linear Convector LPC Series Baseboard Heaters
These revolutionary heaters come with an electronic thermostat with heat proportioning for improved performance and reduced energy consumption. As of now, this heaters are only available in Canada
LPC Series Baseboard Heater Features:
- Faster heating of the room than a conventional baseboard due to rapid vertical laminar air flow, speeding dispersal of warm air into the center of the room, directing heat to the ceiling.
- New electronic proportioning thermostat, with CSA-C828 compliant control (+/-0.5oC/1oF), RF transceiver for on-board temperature control and heater-to-heater telegraphing.
- Superior shark-fin blade design on a steel tubular element for improved heat transfer and longer life.
- Improved performance and reduced length through use of top heat discharge and new fin design.
- Optional wall mounted remote control for multi-heater temperature regulation.
- Full length automatic overheat reset for safety.
- Added versatility of placement , reduced length and discreet styling provide more options when designing a room.
Dayton Electric Baseboard Heaters
Commercial and residential grade electric convector baseboards provide supplemental , secondary or primaryheating for new remodeling or construction applications. Dayton baseboard heaters can be used in apartments, single family homes, mobile or modular homes as well as commercial, industrial and institutional construction.
Baseboard heaters must be thermostatically controlled for safe andefficient operation. It must be noted that this heater doesn’t come with a thermostat.
