Baseboard Heaters
The most popular form of electrical heating in Quebec is the traditional baseboard heater. Baseboard heaters are just a few inches from the floor and are usually near windows, outside walls or a cold wall. The principle is relatively simple and effective: by heating the air nearest the coldest parts of the home, the heat is carried into the center of the room by air currents, and quickly brings the room to a comfortable temperature.
Electrika carries a large range of electrical baseboard heaters, ranging from 500-2500 watts of heat per device. A significant advantage of baseboard heaters is that they allow for independently heated rooms. Electrical heating this way directly translates to savings on your utilities, as rooms used less often can be kept cooler, unlike with central heating. As well, aside from basic household cleaning, such as dusting every other week, electrical baseboard heaters are mostly maintenance free.
