Baseboard Electric Heaters

 

Baseboard Heater
  • The electric baseboard heater uses convection to circulate air
  • With proper placement under a window area, the electric baseboard causes air to flow naturally
  • The cold air falls from the window area as the hot air rises from the heater, causing the air to tumble and move throughout the room
  • Ideal for rooms with a lot of glass
  • Low operating surface temperatures allows baseboard heaters to be placed directly on finished floors and carpets, simplifying installation
  • Controlled by a thermostat that is sold separately
  • Durable aluminum finned steel element has a lifetime warranty
  • Full-length capillary sensor tube provides over-temperature protection
  • Nylon bushings on element end provides extremely quiet operation
Radiant Heaters

Comfort Cove Radiant Heaters

  • The first place Comfort Cove heat goes is directly to the floor, which keeps the floor and furnishings warmer than the air
  • Comfort Cove also produces a smaller but important percentage of warm convected air
  • By independently controlling the temperature in each room, a savings of 25 percent can be realized
  • Due to placement high on the wall close to the ceiling, cove heaters do not take up valuable floor space and are very safe
  • With no moving parts, no fins or grilles to clean, and no pilot light to go out, Comfort Cove heaters are virtually maintenance free
  • 10-year limited warranty

Geothermal Heat Pumps Features

Geothermal Heat Pump
  • Geothermal (ground source) heat pumps are electrically powered, self-contained systems that take advantage of the earth's relatively constant ground temperature to provide heating, cooling and hot water for homes and commercial buildings
  • The heat pump unit is housed entirely within the home or commercial building and connected to the outside buried ground loop
  • Geothermal heat pumps work with the environment to provide clean, efficient and energy-saving heating and cooling year round through a closed loop or open loop system
  • Loops can be installed three ways: horizontally, vertically or in a pond or lake
  • The type chosen will depend on the available land area and the soil and rock type

Advantages

  • Savings - Can cut heating and cooling costs by 50 percent and provide hot water free or at substantial savings
  • Durability - Lasts longer than a conventional system due to protection from harsh outdoor weather
  • Low Maintenance - The ground loop has an expected life of over 50 years and requires no maintenance
  • Low Noise - Operates quietly due to lack of exposed, noisy outside units
  • Conservation - Works with the environment by using the earth's moderate ground temperature
