Baseboard electric heat has the advantage of being easy and inexpensive to purchase and install. You can buy them in almost any hardware store and they're a great choice for small additions to your home, "cool spots" in your home, or seasonal homes where the heat is only on when someone is there. Baseboard electric heat also has the advantage of being very safe and 100% efficient.

Baseboard heat is safe because there is no open flame or venting. You don't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning with electric heat. It is 100% efficient because all the heat produced is put into the space you are heating. No heat is lost through venting because there is no vent. Any heating system that needs to be vented, like a gas furnace, can never be 100% efficient because some heat is always lost through the venting process.

The disadvantage to baseboard electric heat is that it can be costly to operate. That's why VEC has the Dual Fuel program which cuts the cost of heating with electricity almost in half making baseboard electric heat an all-around, affordable choice for home heating. More information is available on the Dual Fuel Program in this web site.

Cove heat is also an excellent option for additional heat in your home or business. For more information visit http://www.radiantsystemsinc.com.
