Baseboard heating units are typically zone heaters installed directly on your floor or on an exterior wall a couple of inches above the floor. They're designed to provide warm air to rooms without consuming too much electricity. Here's more on the advantages that baseboard heaters have to offer.
Energy Savings
Baseboard heating units are highly efficient and help you save on energy bills. They're more energy-efficient than radiators and cumbersome heating systems. You can turn your central heating system low and turn on your baseboard heater to heat a room more efficiently on colder evenings. With a baseboard heater, you can heat only the room you're in, thus avoiding wasting energy on unoccupied rooms.
Quiet Operation
Baseboard heating doesn't use fans. As a result, they operate quietly. You can install a heater in your bedroom without worrying about it disrupting your sleep.
Good Secondary Heating Source
You can use a baseboard heater to supplement your furnace in an older home or in a large home space on days when winter is at its most severe. The average unit can create and disperse even heat over up to 150 square feet of space. Baseboard heaters are excellent sources of heating for rooms that are difficult to keep warm, such as your garage and basement.
Easy Installation
Baseboard heaters are easier and cheaper to install than many other heating systems. They don't need ductwork. In fact, some portable models require only that you plug them into an electrical outlet, and some have carry handles that let you pick them up and move them to a different location quickly.
Little Maintenance
Baseboard heaters don't need much maintenance to work optimally. Their heating elements lack moving parts and need minimal cleaning, like wiping lint and dust from the heater's grill.
Remember, you'll need to install a baseboard heater correctly to get maximum benefits. Call a professional if you're uncomfortable or unsure about installing it on your own.
