Radiant baseboard heating is a type of heating system that uses electric resistance heating elements or hot water to heat a space. It is typically installed near the baseboard of a room to provide consistent and efficient heat distribution. The heat radiates from the baseboard, warming the air in the room and creating a comfortable environment.
