By Erwan Go

To protect and keep old people and children from the cold we need special care for them to stay warm all time because they spend almost all of their time at home. We need to keep them and ourselves warm in winter.

To provide perfect temperature for room heating, baseboard heaters can be a solution for this situation.  With the help of electric power, the baseboard of these electric heaters is heated.

The Electric Baseboard Heaters warm the air that passes through them and circulated the warm air through convection. The place where the air flows naturally will be the best place to install the heaters because by installing the heaters near that place the heaters can work best. For example, they can also be installed near the windows. They are noiseless, with that reason makes them the perfect choice for bedrooms.

You can find these baseboard heaters in four types in the market:

1.      Residential Convection Heaters – available in various sizes ranging from 24″ to 84″ wide.

2.      Portable Electric Baseboard Heaters – easy to install in any room of your house and fit along any wall and provide effective heating.

Aluminum heating elements or stainless steel heating elements fitted with these efficient baseboard heaters.

Both of them provide very effective heating.  They convert almost all of energy consumed into heat.

Before installing Electric Baseboard Heaters, there are couple things you should keep in mind:

1.      Do not put any drapes or furniture in front of the heater. The heaters only can work best when nothing is blocking the air.

2.      Clean regularly the coil.  The dust accumulated from time to time on the coil may reduce the heat production and the lifespan of the heat can be short.

3.      Combustible things like draperies, towel, blanket etc should be keeping away at least 2 meters from the heaters.
