Help! Need recommendations for the BEST electric baseboard heater!

8 years ago

Hi there!

My husband and I are renovating our beautiful new home. We need to heat our glass solarium! It's only April and it's still freezing in there.

The existing electric baseboard heater didn't work, so we replaced it with 2! The smaller one (barely) worked, and the larger one is a total lemon!

We need recommendations for the best baseboard heaters money can buy. We don't care about anything besides putting out a TON of heat. It's about 110 sq ft, but we would need to heat at least 500+ sq ft to make any sort of difference.

THANK YOU!!! :)

I've found that the best way to heat a chilled room is with a plug-in radiator. We have one that can be put on a timer, and it's made our family room liveable in winter. I imagine two would transform your solarium (although there's nothing like adding better insulated windows). I don't remember the brand of ours, but it's in the ballpark of this one -- I think Consumers might have ranked them at some point...

Safer than regular space heaters, and probably better than most baseboards too, given how feeble they are.

Electric fireplace heater would be nice, and they make wall mount versions as well
