Condo and apartment suites fed at 208 V need baseboard heaters rated for that voltage, and long exterior walls benefit from a heater that spreads its output over more length. The Ouellet OFM1758BL-2353 is a low watt density OFM baseboard: 1750 W at 208 V over a 2353 mm (92-5/8 in) length, in white. Spreading the heat at about 200 W per foot, instead of the standard 275 W per foot, gives a cooler, more even heater along the wall.
Why electricians pick it
- Low watt density (about 200 W/ft) for gentler, more even heat along long walls.
- Stainless steel tubular element with aluminum fins, floating on nylon bushings to reduce expansion noise.
- Connection box at both ends and a built-in raceway for easy wiring.
- Accepts Ouellet built-in thermostat and relay kits.
- Made by Ouellet in Canada, with a 5-year warranty and lifetime element warranty for the initial end user.

Pro tip from the counter
Measure the actual wall before ordering: this 1750 W low-density unit is 92-5/8 in long, while Ouellet's standard-density 1750 W model at 208 V is only 75 in. Under a picture window or between a door and a corner, check the clear wall length first, or step down to the standard-density OFM1758.
Best for: 208 V condo and apartment suites, long exterior walls and window walls, bedrooms and living rooms, electricians replacing old baseboards in multi-unit buildings
