Installing an electric baseboard heater is a relatively simple process.

• First, unplug your electric baseboard heater. Unplug any cords that are connected to it and remove the power switch by pulling it out. The power switch should be located near the top of the electric baseboard heater and near the fan or blower unit.
• Place your electric baseboard heater against a wall or in an area that gets lots of heat from sunlight. Be sure to position it so that there is plen full access for electrical wiring and ducting to easily run through the unit. Place it on a level, dry surface so that air can properly circulate around it.
• The electric baseboard heater should be installed away from heat sources and out of the way of any furniture or other items that could cause the unit to tip over. Avoid installing in areas where children and pets have easy access, as this could present significant risks of injury or death.
• Place a level on your electric baseboard heater to ensure it is straight and level before securing it to the wall. This will make sure that air is able to travel around the unit without any obstruction. If necessary, make adjustments to the electric baseboard heater until you have leveled it correctly.
• Secure your electric baseboard heater to the wall with screws or nails. You may need a drill to place holes where screws or nails can be placed. Choose a secure and sturdy location for installation, like a wall stud or beam. Do not choose thin wood or plaster walls as they will likely not be strong enough to support the unit.
• Connect power wiring and ducting to your electric baseboard heater using secure, sturdy connections. Use clips, clamps, screws, or tape to make sure that nothing moves around while in use.
• Turn on your electric baseboard heater and allow it time to warm up before allowing anyone access to the room you are installing it in. Make sure to place furniture and other items back where they were before allowing it to cool again.
• Cleaning your electric baseboard heater can be done with a simple damp cloth or a dry microfiber cloth. Cleaning will ensure that the unit is more efficient, which will reduce your energy use. Cleaning will also prevent any build-up of dust, which could cause your heater to overheat and lead to a fire hazard.
