What else can I help you with?
How hot should the water be in a hot water baseboard heat system?
About 150 deg.
How does baseboard heat work to efficiently warm a room?
Baseboard heat works by using electric resistance or hot water to generate heat, which then rises and warms the air in the room. The heat is distributed evenly along the length of the baseboard, creating a consistent and efficient warmth throughout the space.
What is Radiant Baseboard Heating?
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.
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.
What is an average temperature for the water running through hot water baseboard heat?
120-160 Degrees Fahrenheit
Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?
Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.
Can PVC pipe be used for baseboard heat?
No, PVC is not rated for 180 degrees which is the average operating temperature for baseboard heat
Can a water heater be used to supply water to baseboard heating?
Yes. You might want to check to see what recommended temperature is for water entering the baseboard units and insure the water heater will meet that. Something else to consider is that there will need to be a pump in the water circuit to circulate the water. A tank type water heater would also work to store hot water until needed by the baseboard units in an instance where heat might be generated at a time not needed by the baseboard units.
What to check when the heat is on but the baseboard is cold?
Your breakers
What is the meaning of hwbb in heating?
In heating systems, "HWBB" typically stands for "Hot Water Baseboard." It refers to a type of heating system that uses hot water circulating through baseboard units to provide warmth to a space. The hot water is usually heated by a boiler, and the baseboard units radiate heat into the room, offering an efficient and comfortable heating solution.
Why is your oil burner off but you still have heat coming from the baseboard?
A baseboard heater runs through a process of induction and release, in a manner of speaking. That is, the burner will heat the water; the water will pump through the system; and once all is up to temperature, the burner will shut down. However, the metal of the pipes and the water itself will not cool right away; it will remain hot for a time and cool slowly. The closer the baseboard is to the furnace itself, the longer it will remain hot.
Do baseboard heaters continue to draw electricity when off?
Answer No, if the current to the baseboard heaters is off they can't run or heat.
