Hi Remi,

While you have the ability to turn down the heat in the rooms you do
not use, I would caution you about the potential risk of mould and
mildew (water vapour will condense on cold surfaces, including
exterior walls). Since you live in a damp climate this could be a
major concern. Try to minimize any indoor sources of humidity (i.e.,
by running exhaust fans when cooking and bathing) and consider
operating a dehumidifier if necessary.

Cheers,
Paul

I've recently moved into a house that has electric baseboard heaters and
thermostats controlling them in each room. It's a one storey house with a
finished basement. What's the best way to use these baseboard heaters to
keep the house warm, but not break the bank? If I heat the basement will the
heat rise to the main floor? Should I just heat the room I'm using? Any
thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
