## More about Heating Solutions

Electric heating here covers baseboard heaters, wall and fan heaters, convectors, and the line voltage thermostats that control them, mostly from Quebec manufacturer Ouellet. Sizing starts at roughly 10 watts per square foot for a well insulated room, and more for basements, garages, and rooms with large windows. Check voltage before ordering, since a 240 volt heater wired to a 120 volt circuit puts out about a quarter of its rated heat. Baseboards need a dedicated circuit and clearance from drapes, furniture, and the floor.

**What wattage baseboard heater do I need for my room?**
Start at about 10 watts per square foot, so a 120 square foot bedroom lands near 1250 watts. Add roughly 25 percent for basements, rooms over a garage, or walls with large windows. Ouellet baseboards here run from 300W up to 2000W. For odd shapes or poor insulation, have an electrician run the heat loss numbers.
**Built-in thermostat or a separate wall thermostat?**
A heater with a built-in thermostat, such as the OFM1502BL-TB6CD, is cheaper to install because there is no separate thermostat wiring. A wall mounted line voltage thermostat gives steadier control because it senses air away from the heater, and one thermostat can run several baseboards on the same circuit.
**Can I run a 240V heater on a 120V circuit?**
No. A 240 volt heater fed 120 volts produces roughly one quarter of its rated output, and putting a 120 volt heater on 240 volts pushes it far past its design limit. Match heater voltage to the circuit exactly. Each listing states the voltage, and you can call (905) 553-7171 if a model number is unclear.
**How many baseboard heaters can I put on one circuit?**
That depends on the breaker and the combined wattage. A 240 volt 20 amp circuit carries about 3840 watts, and continuous load rules limit it to 80 percent of that, near 3000 watts. Add up the nameplate wattage of every heater on the run and have your electrician confirm the circuit and conductor sizing.
**Do you ship heaters, or should I pick them up?**
Both work. Heaters ship Canada-wide in about 3 to 7 business days, free across Ontario and Quebec on orders over $150, with 10% off applied at checkout for the rest of Canada. If you are local, counter pickup at 8520 Jane St in Vaughan saves the wait. We also price match.
