Electric Baseboard Heating
Baseboard heaters use electricity to generate heat. These are generally quieter than other types of heating and produce cleaner air since they do not use ducts.

What is a Hydronic Baseboard Heater?
A hydronic baseboard heater is a heating system that relies on the convective heat transfer properties of water or other fluids to make them hotter. These heaters use either hot water (hydronic) or steam (steam-hydronic) to heat objects like people, equipment, and buildings by increasing the temperature.
How is it different from a convection baseboard heater?
Baseboard heaters come in two main types: convection and hydronic. Convection baseboard heaters use air as the heating medium, while hydronic baseboard heaters use water or another fluid. Hydronic baseboard heaters are more efficient because they transfer more heat to the object being heated. The heat usually lasts long enough to warm up the room, and they can be used in conjunction with a thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature.
What are the benefits of using a hydronic baseboard heater?
The main benefits of using a hydronic baseboard heater are:
-They are more efficient than convection baseboard heaters.
-They can be used with a thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature.
-They usually last long enough to warm up the room as the heater element can hold temperatures longer.
-They can be used in conjunction with other heating
-They are perfect with children in the home as they are unlikely to get burned by touching this heater. The covers tend to stay cooler than other heating systems.
What are thee common sizes?
96 inch is very common as is 4ft, 5ft, and 6 ft. Primarily the 96 in model has a 2000 watt capacity and that is an extremely popular version. Cadet specializes in the hydronic baseboard heater and features a variety of configurations.
Which is better, hydronic or electric baseboard heating?
That is a difficult question to answer as it depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, hydronic is more efficient and can be used with a thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature. However, electric baseboard heating is cheaper to install and simpler to operate.
What are some disadvantages of hydronic heating?
-They can be more expensive for installation.
-The heat up time is longer and cool down is also long.
-They can be more complicated to operate than convection baseboard heaters.
