Electric Baseboard Heater Safety

Electric baseboard heaters are a conventional and sufficient way to keep warm against frigid weather. While these heaters are low maintenance, there are some safety precautions to adhere by to avoid risk of electrical or fire hazards.

  • Keep Flammable Objects Away: As electric baseboard heaters are placed beneath a window or at the bottom of the floor, it is vital to ensure that there are no objects like furniture, curtains, or toys placed within proximity of the heater.
  • Keep cords away:Avoid connecting additional electrical appliances in the same socket as the heater to avoid the probability of short circuiting or malfunctions.
  • Thermostat Control:Install a singular built in or a wall thermostat that efficiently controls all the baseboard heaters present in the room. Shift towards a programmable thermostat if there are children or pets present in the household.
  • Leave The Thermostat at One Setting:While baseboard heaters require a sufficient amount of time to heat an area, raising the heat to an alternatively high temperature will not make the room heat faster. Indefinitely, the same amount of time will be used if the thermostat is at a high or medium temperature.
