    We just moved into our current residence - the church parsonage. We are trying to update a basement room into a livable space for our teenage son. It had paneling over the cinder block wall with no insulation. Termites had gotten into the furring strips behind the paneling and the house was...

    I have two 240V Elect Baseboard heaters wired to a wall mounted SP line voltage Tstat and a 240V DP breaker. Everything seems to be wired properly - it all worked OK last year. The black wire runs through the Tstat to the 1st baseboard, and the second baseboard is wired in parallel at this...

    I made the mistake of thinking a baseboard heater had an intermal thermostat or control board that I could hook up to a remote low voltage thermostat. I have 220 to the heater, plus a low voltage thermostat wire. I was browsing around the internet last week and found something that would work...

    I know baseboard heaters are supposed to be more efficient than heat pumps, but with today's oil prices (mine is oil to hot water heated) I wonder if a fuel pump isn't more efficient.
