## More about Ouellet

Ouellet is a Quebec manufacturer of electric heating, covering baseboards, fan-forced wall heaters and line voltage thermostats. Size by wattage and supply voltage together. Confirm what the building actually distributes, since many condos run 208V while most houses run 240V, and a 240V heater fed at 208V puts out less heat than its label. Baseboard length follows wattage, so a longer heater is normally a higher wattage rather than a different product. Pair it with a thermostat rated for the connected load, either built into the heater or mounted on the wall.

**How do I read an Ouellet baseboard number like OFM1252BL?**
OFM is the standard baseboard series and the digits carry the wattage, so 1252 is the 1250W unit and 0502 the 500W unit, with the trailing letters giving the finish code, which on these listings is the white heater. Other prefixes mark the other families, including ODL, OMP for mini and OPP for patio door.
**How many watts of baseboard does a room need?**
Start from a watts per square foot planning figure, then adjust for insulation, ceiling height, window area and whether the wall is an exterior one. Next check the available linear footage, because the wattage has to physically fit under the window or along the wall. Where it will not fit, a fan-forced unit puts more output in less space.
**Built-in thermostat or wall thermostat?**
A built-in kit such as the OFM or OVS thermostat mounts on the heater itself and suits one unit in a small room. A wall-mounted line voltage thermostat senses room temperature away from the heater, which holds comfort better and can run more than one heater provided the total connected load stays inside the thermostat rating.
**Which control handles several heaters or a higher voltage?**
Read the thermostat amp rating at the voltage you are running. The Ouellet built-in kit is rated 25A at 120 to 277V and 10A at 347 to 600V, so the ceiling drops as voltage climbs. Past a thermostat rating, a relay such as the RC840 switches the heaters while the thermostat only carries the control signal.
**Should heaters be shipped or picked up?**
Baseboards ship Canada-wide and typically arrive in 3 to 7 business days, free to Ontario and Quebec on orders over $150, with 10 percent off at checkout for the rest of Canada. Long baseboards are awkward freight, so GTA customers often collect at 8520 Jane St in Vaughan. Send a room schedule to sales@mapleelectricsupply.ca for a multi-unit quote.
