A baseboard heater requires 30 to 60 minutes to heat the room, provided the heater has been properly sized (adequate wattage) for the room. Baseboard heaters are longer, but not as tall as a fan heater. For example, a 1500 watt baseboard will require 6 feet along an outside wall and is about 7 inches tall. A Register Plus heater grill is 14 inches wide and 7 inches high. Baseboard heaters operate at lower temperatures, making the surface temperatures of baseboards cooler.

Match exactly the wattage and voltage of the baseboard heater you are replacing. Check the baseboard heater for the identification label to determine wattage and voltage. If label is missing, measure the length of the baseboard (most baseboards are approximately 200 – 250 watts per foot), then determine the voltage of the heater by inspecting the circuit breaker.

Yes you can. All you need to do is provide a Radiantec mixing valve to step down the temperature of the water to the radiant circuits. You mix hot water from the boiler with return water from the floor to provide a lower temperature.

Yes. Some heaters have built in thermostats, but they can either be removed or inactivated. Remote thermostats can be located so that they are more convenient to adjust than the built in one. Located across the room from the heater, they will also insure that the heater runs long enough to heat the whole room. This is especially true in an odd shaped room where air does not flow readily from one section to another.

Yes, to bypass the in-built thermostat, turn the thermostat on the heater to the highest setting, then use the wall thermostat to regulate the room temperature.

Yes and no. Outdoor models are designed for well ventilated places. Well ventilated does not mean you have a bit of a draft under a crack in the door. In a garage with a window or garage door open, yes you can safely use any of the 12-IR -> 24-IR range of heaters The DESA range of infra-red heaters is the way to go for indoor infra-red heat. These units are designed for indoor use and have safety mechanisms built in to protect you.

If you have a single wall switch with two wires, you cannot unless you buy a control designed for this kind of switch. An electrician will have to run a third wire to the single wall switch and you must purchase a dual control to operate the fan and light from the single switch. An alternative is to purchase a wireless remote control that can operate both the fan and light so you will not have to do any electrical work.

Keep portable heaters and space heaters at least three feet (one meter) away from anything that can burn. Keep children and pets away from heaters, and never leave heaters on when you leave home or go to bed.

No. Range hoods are specifically designed to handle grease and high temperature environments. Ventilation provided by NuTone fans is only a supplement for odor and moisture removal in the kitchen.

Yes, you can use an in-wall keypad to control music. This is useful for listening zones that have no video display and no touch panel. Kaleidescape's very simple keypad interface includes button presets for playing specific albums, mix albums, artists, genres, collections, including User-defined Music Collections. You can cycle through any collection by using next and previous buttons, and you can press-and-hold a button to set it to the now playing list.

Yes. One of the reasons we designed it as a modular system is to allow you to upgrade an existing oil sump heater (any brand) to a high performance multi-point system, at a lower cost than by installing a completely new system.

Mike Jukes says that the fan in his car is very noisy (grinds and wails) and the output does not seem very good. How can he remove the unit and is it possible to quieten down the noise? If he looks in the passenger footwell he sees a black cylinder with a plug going into it. Detaching this plug stops the fan and stops the noise. Nigel Gladstone says he has a imilar problem whereby when it rains heavily or he goes through a car wash the fan makes a wierd knocking sound.

Be sure the voltage supply matches the heater rating, the supply wires are sized properly, and the heater is clean.

A hard level surface is recommended. Placing the unit on a surface that is not hard and level can cause the unit to perform poorly or shut off due to activation of the safety tilt switch.

None of the forced air heaters can be used without electricity. The fan on the heaters requires 110 volts AC electrical current to operate.
