I recently put in two 240-volt electric hydronic baseboard heating units and
a wall thermostat in a former attic space that I refinished. Regular
electric baseboad heating units cost less, but they are hotter to the touch

to give off a more even and more pleasant heat. I bought the electric
hydronic baseboard heating units at Home Depot.

Even though hydronic units do cost more, my thinking is that you only pay
that cost one time so it's worth it.

Here's the user manual that came with the units I bought:

Thanks.


Many thanks. I too prefer something that is not too hot to the touch.
What type, brand, etc. thermostat did you use?
