Location: For best results locate the baseboard heater on an outside wall, under a window or near an entry door.
Voltage: It is important that you verify that the electrical supply wiring is the same voltage as the electric
baseboard heater. Connecting a 208 volt electric baseboard radiator to 240 volt supply will increase the heater’s
output; connecting a 240 volt heater to a 208 volt supply will decrease the heater’s output.
