Electric Heater Installation

What are the benefits of electric heaters?

When it comes to picking home warming options, electric baseboards are one of the most affordable options on the market. They don't require ducts or vents and take up a small amount of space, so no major installation is required. They can also be installed quickly and inexpensively.

At WIREONE, our team of journeyman electricians will work with you to make sure your system is safe and reliable. We know that the last thing you need when facing a long winter is the extra worry of wondering if your supplemental heater is creating a fire risk.

Where should I install electrical heaters?

We will work with you to identify an ideal location for your electric heaters. It's smart to install wall heaters under windows or where furniture won't block airflow, and baseboard units require a significant amount of floor space. The type and number of heating units required to efficiently accommodate a room depends on many factors, including the size and features of the room, as well as how the room is used. The following guidelines are generally applicable:

• Bedrooms: Electric heaters are extremely effective for bedrooms because the smaller space is easily warmed. Bedrooms also tend to remain at lower temperatures since you sleep under covers, which allows you to minimize electricity consumption.
• Bathrooms: Wall heaters are preferable to baseboard heaters in bathrooms because they heat more quickly and can provide additional wattage without requiring additional space. A 1000-watt baseboard will require four feet of linear floor space, while an equivalent wall heater only requires a 10-inch-by-12-inch rectangle of vertical wall space. Elevating the heater also reduces the likelihood of water reaching the heating elements.
• Basements: The best option for a finished basement is an electric baseboard heater. These systems are inexpensive, operate independently, and don’t require expensive modifications to existing system. Because basements are naturally insulated by the earth, most regions will not require much heat in a basement.
• Garages: Garages can be expensive to operate with any heating system. Electric heaters can quickly raise the temperature in a garage while working, or be set at a low temperature to protect vehicles.
