Electric baseboard heaters are usually located along the floor, beneath a window. Inside an aluminum housing, or cabinet, there is a metal cable containing a heating element. Around the cable are “fins” designed to help radiate the heat throughout the room. There will be a thermostat either on the wall, or right on the unit itself.
These heaters are almost always located on perimeter walls under a window, and help to counteract any cold air that may be entering the home through the window. Electric baseboard heaters are designed to heat specific zones, so there will be a separate thermostat for each unit. You can also get programmable thermostats, which will allow you to set the temperature to automatically go lower at night or when you’re away at work during the day
What is the working principle of baseboard heater?
An electric current flows through the heating element located in the electric baseboard heater. There is no fan, so heat is naturally radiated into the room. As mentioned, a thermostat allows you to control the temperature. Digital thermostats on the wall are the most accurate. Set the desired temperature and the heater will turn on until that temperature is reached. If the temperature drops, the heater turn on again.
There should be a minimum clearance of three quarters of an inch between the heater and the floor. This allows cool air to enter the heater from underneath, and once heated, flow out again through the fins.
