What else can I help you with?
Are new electric baseboard heaters more economical than those made in the 1970's?
Not really. Baseboard heaters are rated in watts. W = Amps x Volts has not changed since electricity came into being. What has changed are some of the designs of the baseboard heaters. Some heat oil in the baseboard heaters, which dissipate the heat out at a more even heat. On the market now are new types of thrermostats that pulse the baseboard heaters for a more regulated heat rather just turning them on when the thermostat calls for heat and turns them off when the thermostat is satisfied.
What are the benefits of using energy efficient electric baseboard heaters in a home?
Energy efficient electric baseboard heaters can help reduce energy costs by using less electricity to heat a home, leading to lower utility bills. They also provide more precise temperature control and can be zoned to heat specific areas, increasing comfort and reducing wasted energy. Additionally, they are easy to install and maintain, making them a convenient heating option for homeowners.
How energy efficient are electric fireplaces?
Very little of the energy that goes to the electric fireplaces is wasted. However, as a heat source there are better, more efficient sources of heat.
What is the most efficient electric heat source available on the market today?
The most efficient electric heat source available on the market today is a heat pump. Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, and they are more energy-efficient than traditional electric resistance heaters.
Difference between in floor heating and baseboard heating.?
Floor heating is when you have heating units beneath your tiles that generates heat that radiates from beneath the home. Baseboard heaters are heater units that usually sit parallel to your baseboard. Each unit of baseboard heater is independent. Floor heating is more of a central heating unit.
Where can one look for different electric baseboard heaters?
I am renewing my heater system because it is old. Where can I get more information on electric baseboard heaters?
Are gas stoves more efficient than electric stoves?
Gas stoves are generally more efficient than electric stoves because they heat up faster and can be more easily controlled.
What is the most efficient electric water heater available on the market?
The most efficient electric water heater available on the market is the heat pump water heater, which uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, making it more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters.
Are electric stoves more efficient than gas stoves?
Electric stoves are generally considered to be more efficient than gas stoves because they convert more of the energy they consume into heat for cooking.
What is the most efficient electric heating system available on the market today?
The most efficient electric heating system available on the market today is the heat pump. Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, and they are more energy-efficient than traditional electric resistance heating systems.
Why not just use that energy consumed running the heat pump to run electric heaters inside the house and heat it directly that way?
Heat pump is more efficient. If you use electric heaters, 1 joule of electric energy will produce 1 joule of heat energy. If you use heat pumps, 1 joule of electric energy can pump several joules - perhaps up to 5 or 6, depending on the outside temperature, and the efficiency of the heat pump - of heat, from the outside to the inside.
What efficiency difference 240v 120v baseboard heater?
240V baseboard heaters are usually more efficient than 120V baseboard heaters in terms of energy consumption because they require less current to produce the same amount of heat. This can result in lower heating costs. However, the actual efficiency also depends on the insulation of the room and the overall heating system.
