Procurement notes
- Voltage check: confirm your circuit is 240V or 208V before ordering
- Heat output: expect 1000W on 240V and 750W on 208V, confirm your building supply before sizing
- Typical coverage shortcut: 240V at 1000W often targets about 80-120 sq ft, adjust for insulation, ceiling height, and exterior walls
- Controls: baseboard heaters typically use a line-voltage wall thermostat, specify separately if needed
- Finish planning: if you need a non-white finish, confirm lead time and upcharge before purchase
