Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater, Model# FBE15002

Price: $85.95

I do not have central heat and air in my home so I bought these heaters for my kids rooms. They are fantastic! They dont get hot, so if the kids touch them they dont burn themselves. They are easy to operate, though I unplug everytime I leave the house to go to work as the light does not go off when you turn the heater to the off position. The bedrooms are about 140sf and it takes about 30 min to warm up in the room when we get home everyday. I have had the heaters plugged in for 3 or 4 days at a time and still the casing stays warm to the touch. Running these heaters everynight in November, December and January so far, it has cost about $65.00 a month for both heaters on the electric bill. I plan on buying 3 more for the rest of the house.

The heater I got is made in the USA. Hope they continue to make them here onshore, but gladly, mine doesn't have the toxic fumigants embedded in the paint (and other parts) that other heaters have from the shipping container fumigants they apply to the shipping container interiors when they ship from China (to prevent mold and mildew, and insects in the containers, which are sometimes enclosed for months.) Heat really activates these chemical toxins, embedded in the materials. Those toxic vapors take a while to gas-off of a new heater, and I have enough health problems and headaches without them.I gassed this unit off at 1500W outside for a few hours and used it at 1000 watts indoors without any problems, and I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity.The heating element in this portable heater is the same size as a 1000-Watt stationary baseboard. On the 1000-WATT setting (low) it gives a steady nice heat and doesn't get the chassis extremely hot on the...

I purchase a heater to use in by bedroom while I sleep. So I wanted a quiet one.The unit is fanless and so generally quiet. Unfortunately it does creak a bit when it heats up. The thermostat is very quiet. . . it's hard to hear it click. Otherwise the heater works well. Despite it's title of a baseboard heater, it can be placed elsewhere; but if it's not close to a wall, it could possibly be a tripping hazard due to its low height.It could use thicker sheet metal all around, which I think is probably the case for many such heaters.I purchased the heater from Amazon/Northern Tools. The first one was damaged in shipment. Northern Tools replaced it without complaint. The second one was also damaged. . . but not nearly as much as the first one. I decided to keep it. Both were damaged in a similar fashion. The manufacturer could do a better job protecting them in shipment.

how close to electric baseboard heater can I place bedding?

Nov 26, 2007 by Brie

how close to electric baseboard heater can I place bedding?

I have a wooden platform bed - so the wood and the bedding (sheets, blankets) are at the same height as the heater. How far from the baseboard do I need to move the bed?
I really onyl have room to move it about 6 inches away...

3 ft, no less.

Can a baseboard heater be mounted vertically?

Nov 29, 2007 by BSFSU

I have limited space in a relatively small San Francisco apartment. I am working with my landlord on installing some sort of heating system, as my apartment is basically a converted garage. I was thinking of asking her to install a couple of baseboard heaters, but due to the limited wall space, I would really like to mount them vertically.

Am I able to mount the typical Home Depot-type wall heater vertically? Or, does somebody have an economical alternative to this problem?

Thanks!!

DO NOT mount a baseboard heater vertically.
They are designed to heat air that moves past the
element be convection. In a vertical mount this will
not happen rapidly enough.
The efficiency will suffer and the unit might
overheat dangerously.
If space is limited, look into an electric unit heater,
or fan/coil unit.
