Baseboard Heat Maintenance, Repairs, & Installations

Baseboard heating is a common and efficient method for heating homes in Northern Colorado. These heaters provide several benefits, including their low-profile, compact design and affordability. Whether a hot water baseboard system, or electric baseboard heating, Viking Mechanical Services, LLC provides quality baseboard heating services you can trust.

What is Baseboard Heating?

Baseboard heaters are installed along the bottom of the wall, at floor level, allowing heat to rise between the floor and ceiling. They play a role in counteracting heat loss through windows and provide room-to-room heating, which lets the homeowner control energy usage. Baseboard heaters are available in wall-mounted units and portable. The advantages to baseboard heating include:

• Affordable to Install
• No Duct Work Required
• Virtually Silent
• Controlled from Room to Room
• Energy Efficient

Types of Baseboard Heating

Convection (Electric) Baseboard Heat

Electric baseboard heaters are compact units that are typically placed under a window. The heating element inside each unit is made of electric coils. When turned on, the coils heat up and disperse hot air into the room. As the air is heated, it rises into the room, while cooler air is pulled below the heating unit. The cold air is warmed by the coils and dispersed back into the room. Convection baseboard heaters are controlled by a thermostat on the unit or wall.

Hydronic (Hot Water) Baseboard Heat

These baseboard units rely on fluid to radiate heat into the room. Hydronic baseboards operate more efficiently than electric baseboard heaters because the oil or water that is heated take longer to cool down than the fins in an electric unit. If a home relies solely on baseboard heating, hydronic baseboard systems are the most economic to install and operate.
