Yes, electrical energy can be changed into thermal (heat) energy. Light is electromagnetic energy, and electricity can be changed into light energy. We know that a resistance heater changes electrical energy into thermal energy. An electric range does this, as does an electric space heater. We see electrical energy changed into light in fluorescent lights.
An electric fire converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. In the form of heat and light.
heat and chemical energy
electrical energy is converted in the heatert to heat energy to warm the water

The Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater is very energy efficient. Because of its "baseboard" design, it is not necessary to use a powerful to disperse the heat. It uses natural radiance, which saves on electricity costs.
Yes, an electric baseboard heater can be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom.
Electric rating of 1Kw
I am renewing my heater system because it is old. Where can I get more information on electric baseboard heaters?
Electrical energy is changed into heat energy ... intentionally ... every time you use a blow drier, toaster, electric oven, baseboard heater, electric clothes iron, curling iron, electric hot water heater, soldering iron, or coffee machine. Electrical energy is changed into some amount of heat energy ... unintentionally ... and is lost, whenever you use anything else electric.
The expansion and contraction of the heating element when the unit turns off and on. If you have ultra fine hearing and the thermostat is part of the baseboard heater it will be the bi-metal element in the thermostat.
Yes, the heater is a 240/120 heater, but I want to operate as 120 volt
Depends on the Amperage of each baseboard heater (how many watts each one draws).
The price of a baseboard heater is going to depend on the brand and length of the heater you are going to buy. You can get one for as little as $27 for a 30 4ft. baseboard.
1600 watts is unusually low for electric baseboard heaters! These usually are rated at about 6000 watts.Typical electric baseboard heaters operate on 220 volts thus you heater would pull about 7.3 amperes and 16 gauge wire can easily handle this.A standard 6000 watt baseboard heater pulls about 27 amperes and needs 10 gauge wire.
