What it is: A compact Ouellet OFM electric baseboard heater for indoor heating on 208V electrical systems.
What it does: Provides 1000W of steady room heat with a floating element design that helps reduce expansion noises during operation.
This heater is for electricians, maintenance teams, and homeowners replacing or adding baseboard heat on a 208V circuit.
Choose it when you need a compact 1206mm unit that runs quietly, fits cleanly along walls, and uses a durable, repaintable finish.
- Good for condos, rentals, offices, and unit turn-overs where 208V baseboard circuits are already in place
- Helpful for maintenance teams that want a durable steel heater that can be repainted between tenants
- Better for quiet spaces because the floating heating element helps reduce click and ping noises from thermal expansion
- Safer in high-traffic areas with rounded upper corners and edges
