Hi,
I'm looking at a house that I would like to put an offer on, but just had a question regarding electrical baseboard convection heaters and how well they work.
The house has mainly regular baseboard heating throughout the house, but I noticed the homeowner has in 2 bathrooms upstairs electrical baseboard convection heaters installed. I don't know why he didn't just run the pipes into the bathrooms too; since he just renovated the whole house.
1. These heaters are installed on the inside wall of the bathroom near the sink and not on the widow side of the wall; will the placement of these electrical heaters cause heating issues during the winter, since they are not near the outside/window wall?
I just don't want to purchase the house and then end up finding out during the winter that these electric baseboard convection heaters can't heat up the bathrooms properly and they are freezing in the winter.
2. Regarding these electric baseboard convection heaters, can they be tied in to the existing thermostat that runs the regular baseboard heating?
This way I can still use the thermostat to control the heating in the whole house including these electric baseboard convection heaters.
Thank you!
