Yesterday, with temperatures dropping and winter approaching, a house fire in Revere brought attention to the need for home heating safety. Fire officials in Massachusetts urged residents to take proper heating precautions after a house fire in Revere caused by a furnace failure, according to the fire department.

Firefighter Jon M. Davine states that space heaters are the leading cause of carbon monoxide and the second leading cause of house fires in Massachusetts homes. According to the Department of Fire Services, there have been over 6,000 heating-related fires in the past five years, resulting in eight deaths, over 140 residents and firefighters injured, and over $39 million in damages.

To prevent further tragedies, firefighters emphasize the need for operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on all floors of the home. Another important aspect is annual professional inspection and maintenance of heating devices such as furnaces, water heaters and oil burners. Additionally, Massachusetts residents struggling with heating costs could benefit from the state's Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which provides assistance with winter heating costs and maintenance.

For households that use natural gas and oil as heating media, it is important to maintain a 90 cm wide “safety circle” around the heating devices and to clear them of flammable objects. Additional safety measures recommend not storing painting materials, aerosol cans and other flammable items near heating devices. In addition, gas smells should be reported immediately to the emergency services, as the fire department reports.

Those who rely on fireplaces or stoves for heat should use a fireplace screen or a closed stove door to contain sparks and embers. Regular inspections and cleaning of chimneys and flues are necessary to prevent chimney fires because it eliminates burning creosote, a harmful substance that builds up naturally. Professional chimney cleaning services from the Massachusetts Chimney Sweep Guild or the Chimney Safety Institute of America can be helpful in this regard.

When using space heaters, ensure they are at least three feet away from flammable items such as curtains and bedding. It is recommended that you plug it directly into the wall outlet and not into an extension cord or power strip. Space heaters that have been tested and labeled by reputable companies such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Intertek (ETL) are likely to have better safety features, including automatic shut-off mechanisms. Firefighter Davine similarly cautioned against the use of unvented kerosene space heaters and portable propane space heaters due to the high risk of fire and carbon monoxide.

Creating a comprehensive emergency escape plan is another important aspect of home security. Each plan should provide for two exits from each room, as well as alternate exits for children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities who may require assistance in emergencies. 1. Resources such as the Fire Department's Keep Warm, Keep Safe toolkit providing important information and guidance on maintaining home heating safety and emergency planning as mentioned by the Fire Department.

Baseboard heating is a heating system that uses convection to heat rooms without ductwork or electricity. As a popular heating option for many homeowners, it can heat a room by using gas, electricity, or hot water. “Many homes only have baseboard heaters for their heating source,” explains Christopher Haas, expert electrician and owner at Haas & Sons Electric in Millersville, Maryland. “Depending on the room size, you would have one or more. Baseboard heaters work best in smaller rooms with less volume. They don’t have the means to move the air around like a conventional HVAC system with its large internal fan, so large rooms are not ideal.”

How much does baseboard heating cost? According to Angi and HomeAdvisor, a baseboard heating system ranges in price from $409 to $1,335, with many homeowners spending $860 on average. The cost to install baseboard heat can vary due to some important factors, including the size of the home and individual rooms, the number of heating units, local labor pricing, and geographic location.

The type of baseboard heating system also affects the overall cost. For instance, an electric baseboard heater is the most common and is typically more budget-friendly to install than a hot water, gas, or propane baseboard heater. When considering baseboard heater installation, homeowners will want to weigh the upfront costs against the long-term energy savings. Talking with a heating professional can help homeowners understand the size of the heating system they need while finding a price that works with their budget.

Factors in Calculating Baseboard Heating Cost

When homeowners are calculating baseboard heating costs, several factors influence the project total. The national average cost for baseboard radiator heat installation is $860, but it’s important for homeowners to note that this average may vary depending on home or room size, number of heating units, local labor prices, and geographic location. Taking all these factors into account can help homeowners realistically budget for baseboard heater installation.

Home or Room Size

The size of a home plays an important role in the overall baseboard heating cost. Larger homes typically require more extensive heating systems to ensure the entire home is adequately heated. As the square footage increases, more baseboard heaters or more powerful units are needed. The layout of a home can also affect the efficiency of the heaters, so the pro will carefully map out the system before the installation process to maximize the heaters’ capacity within the space.

Further, the size of a home influences whether electric, hot water, or gas baseboard heaters would work the best. Electric baseboard heaters are typically used for smaller spaces, while gas or hot water baseboard heaters may work better for larger homes due to their even heat distribution. The cost of each type of system and the installation expenses vary based on the size and layout of the home.

Large rooms will typically need more than one baseboard heater to adequately heat the room, and some heating professionals may offer a discounted rate to install multiple heaters. Since baseboard heaters are used to heat a single room rather than an entire house, homeowners might choose to install heaters in only certain rooms to ensure that each room gets the right amount of heat for their comfort.

Baseboard heaters are available in two voltage options: 120 volts and 240 volts. While both are effective, the 240-volt units are more energy-efficient due to their lower amperage requirements. The higher-voltage option uses thinner heating elements, which results in better heat distribution and improved energy consumption. To make sure each room gets enough heat, it’s important for homeowners to choose a baseboard heater with the appropriate wattage that matches the room’s square footage.

As a rule of thumb, a single 500-square-foot room is best served with a 4,500-watt heating unit to adequately heat the space. This type of unit can cost from $300 to $1,000. Finding out how the size of a room impacts the overall price of baseboard heater installation can help homeowners budget for the project.

Number of Units

The heating capacity of each baseboard heater depends on the wattage and amperage. A 500-square-foot room needs just one 4,500-watt unit (or a combination of multiple units that total 4,500 watts) to make sure the room gets enough heat. Homeowners can get a good idea of how many baseboard heating units they’ll need for their home by knowing their home size.

Labor

Professional labor is important for a safe and effective installation process so that the heating system, in turn, runs efficiently and safely. The average cost to hire one of the best HVAC companies (such as One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning or Aire Serv) to install a baseboard heating system ranges from $75 to $250 per hour. More difficult or complex installations are priced on the higher end of the hourly range. Additionally, densely populated urban areas with a higher cost of living typically have more expensive labor rates than rural areas.

Geographic Location

The geographic location of the home also influences the overall cost of baseboard heating. For instance, colder climates with harsh winters may need a more robust heating system that can produce sufficient heat to keep the home warm and comfortable. Yet in milder climates, the heating system may not need to be as powerful or have as many baseboards in each room. In addition, the cost of electricity, gas, or propane varies by location.

Additional Costs and Considerations

When budgeting for baseboard heating costs, homeowners may discover they’ll need to apply additional price factors and considerations that can alter the project total. These can include permit fees, running costs, electrical work, and additional equipment.

Permits

The total cost for permit fees to install a baseboard heating system varies depending on the location of the home and the number of amps, circuits, and heating units. Getting the correct permits ensures the system complies with local building codes and regulations. On average, permit fees to install baseboard heaters range from $50 to $350.

Running Costs

It’s more costly to run baseboard heat than other types of heating systems such as radiant floor heating. Radiant floor heating costs around $3,831 to install but only an average of $3 per day to operate. Understanding the ongoing costs for baseboard heating units is important for homeowners who are considering how much they will spend to install and run the system throughout the colder months.

It can cost from $500 to $1,000 per month to run an electric baseboard heating system, depending on the amount of insulation and size of the home. To estimate the cost to run baseboard heat, homeowners can divide the heater’s wattage by 1,000, then multiply it by the number of hours a day the unit is used. This number becomes the number of kilowatt hours. Homeowners can then multiply the total kilowatt hours by the kilowatt rates from the energy provider, and that will yield the daily cost for using baseboard heat.

(Baseboard Heater’s Wattage / 1,000) x Running Hours per Day = Kilowatt Hours

Kilowatt Hours x Kilowatt Hourly Rate = Daily Cost

Electrical Work

Baseboard heaters need a dedicated electrical circuit to make sure the unit runs safely and efficiently. The wiring and circuitry installation requires a skilled professional, which can influence labor costs and overall project expenses. Hiring an electrician costs about $162 to $535. In some cases, the existing electrical panel may need to be updated to accommodate the baseboard heating system, and an inspection may be required in some cities to ensure it’s correctly set up. An electrician will make sure local electrical codes and regulations are followed to ensure the home’s electrical system is safe to operate.

Additional Equipment

The addition of extra equipment can influence the overall cost of baseboard heating since it includes both labor and material expenses.

• Thermostats and controls. Upgrading or installing thermostats and control systems can increase the overall cost of baseboard heat. Smart thermostats have remote-programmable settings, remote access, and energy monitoring. While these can improve the efficiency of a baseboard heating system, they will add to the overall cost. Thermostats can range in price from $20 to $500, and the labor to install them runs from $100 to $200.
• Zoning systems. Using zoning systems to control the heating in different areas or rooms can increase costs. Zoning installation requires additional equipment such as zone valves, dampers, and zone controllers.
• Baseboard heater covers. Some baseboard systems do not come with safety covers to protect people from getting burned by the steel exterior, which can get very hot. Intended for use with hydronic heaters (heat produced with hot water), safety heater covers cost from $50 to $170.
• Brackets. Wall brackets are used when a heating unit sits less than 7.5 inches from the floor to the top of the heater. These cost from $6 to $10 per bracket.
• Outlet receptacles. If a baseboard heater is placed under a power outlet, the heat will melt the plastic outlet over time. Heater-specific outlet receptacles that can withstand the constant heat cost from $20 to $30.

Types of Baseboard Heating

Many homeowners decide to add baseboard heaters when estimating the cost of installing new baseboards in their home. The cost can vary depending on the type of heater that’s installed. If a homeowner has questions about the best baseboard heaters for their home, a professional can provide recommendations based on the customer’s overall heating needs and budget. Knowing how the different types of baseboard heat influence the cost of heating a home can help homeowners choose the right baseboard heating unit for their home.

Electric

Electric baseboard heat is a type of heating system that doesn’t require plumbing or ductwork, which makes the installation costs more budget-friendly than other types of heating systems. The long, narrow units are installed along the base of exterior walls and use electricity to heat up aluminum fins or ceramic elements in the unit. The heat warms the air as it rises and radiates heat into the entire room.

Since electric baseboard heat can be expensive, it’s typically recommended for remodels and home additions as a supplemental heat source rather than the primary source. The efficiency of the system depends on a home’s insulation, thermostat settings, and the cost of electricity in the area. In locations with high electricity rates, the operating expenses of running electric baseboard heaters can be significantly higher than for other types of heating systems that use natural gas or propane. Homeowners can expect to pay from $200 to $1,100 to install an electric baseboard heating system.

Hydronic

Hydronic baseboard heating is a system that uses hot water heated by electricity to provide warmth. These types of heaters take longer to heat up than electric-only heating models, but they stay warm for a longer period of time. They’re also more energy-efficient, but the upfront installation costs are more expensive since the process involves additional components, such as a water heater or boiler, piping, and controls. The cost to install hydronic baseboard heat ranges from $400 to $1,200 per heating unit. It’s important for homeowners to know that these heating units require regular maintenance, including boiler checks and system flushing, so the ongoing costs may be higher than average.

Toe Kick

Toe kick baseboard heating is a specialized type of heating system that’s designed to fit into the recessed space at the base of cabinets, stairways, or kitchen counters. Toe kick baseboard heaters are typically used in areas that are too small for traditional baseboard heaters. While the installation process is generally straightforward, the tight space requires careful planning. Toe kick baseboard heat is not recommended as the primary heating source for a home but rather as a supplemental source of warmth in high-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Toe kick heater cost ranges from $420 to $1,300 including labor, or just $175 to $430 per unit.

Wall

Wall baseboard heating, also known as wall-mounted baseboard heating, is a type of heating system in which the heating units are installed along the walls of a room. They can be mounted onto a wall’s surface or recessed in an interior wall. They heat up quickly and distribute heat by using a fan. Despite their size, small baseboard heaters can produce adequate heat for smaller areas. These types of heaters run from $370 to $1,200 per unit including installation and are recommended for small spaces such as bathrooms.

Cost Effectiveness

Baseboard heaters generally have a lower installation cost than other types of heaters. This is partly because they’re easier to install than other types of home heat systems but also because homeowners can more easily control their heating in different rooms, lowering their energy costs as well.

“Electric heat is nearly 100 percent efficient, meaning all the power [electric heaters] consume gets converted to heat,” explains Haas. “Hydronic heaters … continue to give off residual heat from the warmed-up oil inside. This provides more even heating.” This also translates to lower running costs.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Baseboard heaters are relatively easy to install, making them a convenient option for both new home construction and retrofits. They do not require ductwork or extensive renovations, which can be expensive and time-consuming. For example, a typical HVAC replacement cost is $7,500, and adding a new zone to improve heating in one area costs about $2,000 to $3,000 more. By comparison, installing three baseboard units in two or three rooms costs about $3,500.

Baseboard heating systems have minimal moving parts, reducing the risk of mechanical failure and the need for frequent repairs and cleaning. Overall, they provide a hassle-free heating solution with less maintenance than a traditional HVAC system.

Zone Heating

Zone heating is a significant benefit of baseboard heating. Zoning offers homeowners the ability to control and customize the temperature of individual rooms or zones in the house. As Haas explains, “You can have each heater set to different [temperatures] or group them so a whole room runs off one thermostat. This is great if you like to keep particular rooms warmer or colder than others.”

By personalizing the temperature of each room, homeowners can save energy by heating only those rooms that are actively used. Zone heating also allows homeowners to address temperature variations of individual rooms that can be caused by sunlight exposure, room size, or insulation levels.

Energy Conservation

The ability to control the temperature in individual rooms or zones means that the heat settings can be adjusted based on personal preferences and the specific needs of the area. Unlike forced-air heating systems, which rely on ductwork to distribute heat, energy-efficient baseboard heaters do not suffer from energy waste through the ductwork. The farther the vent is from an HVAC motor, the cooler the heated air becomes. But baseboard heaters have no heat loss issues since all the heat goes directly into the room in which it’s installed.

Baseboard Heating Installation: DIY vs. Hiring a Professional 

Some homeowners know how to install baseboard trim, but undertaking a DIY baseboard heating installation is a different story. While those with extensive electrical knowledge may avoid dangerous installation errors, it’s recommended that homeowners with minimal DIY skills call a professional for installation. Hiring a heating and cooling pro ensures a correct setup that complies with local building codes and regulations. This is true whether it’s just a baseboard heater replacement or a full installation of new units.

“Installing and replacing baseboard heaters is not something a homeowner should try to do on their own,” warns Haas. “Most heaters are 240-volt and can pose serious safety issues if not done correctly. This is one of those projects you should always hire a licensed professional for.”

In fact, in some areas, local municipalities require some kinds of electrical work to be completed by a licensed professional. This is especially likely when the circuit breaker needs to be upgraded to meet current codes. The installation professional may also recommend the best areas to install baseboard heaters for maximum effect. While professional installation costs more, it can result in long-term savings through enhanced safety and energy efficiency.

How to Save Money on Baseboard Heating Cost

Homeowners can reduce their baseboard heating costs by following some helpful tips to enhance energy efficiency and optimize the performance of their heating system. Since a portion of the higher cost of baseboard heaters comes from running costs, homeowners can utilize several suggestions to save money over time.

• Thermostat management. Homeowners will want to set their thermostat to lower temperatures when they’re asleep or away and consider investing in a programmable thermostat that can automatically adjust settings based on their schedule.
• Seal up any air leaks. It’s recommended that homeowners check their doors, windows, and any other areas where air can escape or enter the home. By sealing the leaks with weatherstripping or caulking, they can improve the home’s efficiency and reduce heat loss as well as the correlating heating costs.
• Consider furniture placement. Homeowners can arrange their furniture to allow for more efficient heat flow. By avoiding blocking baseboard heaters, they can ensure even heat distribution and better efficiency.
• Take advantage of zone heating. Homeowners might want to consider closing doors to unused rooms to concentrate heat where it’s needed.
• Choose the right unit. With several types of baseboard heaters available, homeowners are encouraged to speak with an installation pro to make sure they choose the right unit for their home size, heating needs, and budget for installation as well as long-term costs.
• Add adequate insulation. Adding more insulation to a home can help keep energy costs down, especially when homeowners are using an electric baseboard heating system.
• Perform regular maintenance. Generally, baseboard heaters don’t require extensive maintenance and need to be cleaned by the resident only once or twice a year. By vacuuming the heating elements to remove dust, a homeowner can help prolong the life of their heating system.
• Get multiple quotes. Homeowners will want to shop around and get multiple quotes from reputable heating and cooling companies in their area to find a price that works with their budget.

FAQs

Many homeowners who are considering baseboard heat installation are often unsure of the cost and the installation process. They can use these answers to some frequently asked questions to understand the downsides of baseboard heating, ways to increase the efficiency of the heating system, and the compatibility of air conditioning with baseboard heating. Understanding these aspects can help homeowners make informed decisions about which type of heating system is the best for their home.

Q. What is the downside of baseboard heating?

One concern about baseboard heating is the risk of burns from hot surfaces. These units are exposed in a room and produce significant heat that makes the units too hot to touch. Hydronic baseboard heaters don’t get as hot and are a safer option for homes with pets and children. Another downside of baseboard heating is the monthly cost to run an electric baseboard heating system, which is higher than traditional HVAC systems.

“Electricity is relatively expensive compared to other heating sources,” explains Haas. “At $0.16 per kilowatt per hour, electricity is more costly than natural gas or propane to heat the same size room. It’s recommended to have 3 watts per square foot. A 1,500-square-foot home would need 4,500 watts of baseboard heat. Every hour your heaters run, it consumes $0.72.”

Q. Is it cheaper to leave baseboard heaters on all the time?

A baseboard heating system is much more efficient when it runs constantly rather than being turned on and off throughout the day.

Q. Can you have AC with baseboard heating?

Yes. Many homeowners who use baseboard heaters opt for individual window AC units to avoid installing ductwork in the home. However, adding central air conditioning to a baseboard-heated house can help save money by reducing energy costs attributed to window AC units. Compared to a central AC system, window units are typically less efficient since they need to run longer to sufficiently cool a room.

‘eel’ installation by veev for the two-year ‘seat’ urban furniture exhibition in san francisco

‘eel’ is a sculptural installation that responds to environmental conditions and the presence of visitors, shifting its colour and light and generating heat upon its surface. the project, composed of laminated acrylic sheets into which an inner sculpture has been CNC-carved, is the work of veev, the experimental design studio of thailand-born, US-based architect raveevarn choksombatchai in collaboration with norbert wong, sarah witkin, and zachary streitz.

usable as a seat, the surface of ‘eel’ releases heat only when the sculpture senses that visitors are nearby, emitting a range of colour and intensity of light in response to environmental stimuli. the interior figure appears to appear and vanish as visitors adopt different perspectives, as a result of light refraction. the project investigates  the performative and transformative quality of architecture in response to changing conditions in the environment, raising parallels to questions of climate change and drawing attention to fluctuations in our living environment.

‘eel’ is on exhibition at san francisco’s fort mason center through june 2013 as part of the ‘seat‘ exhibition.

Nine states have signed a joint agreement to accelerate the transition to residential building electrification by significantly expanding the use of heat pumps to meet heating, cooling, and water heating demand.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by directors of environmental agencies from California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island. These states set a shared goal for heat pumps to meet at least 65% of residential-scale HVAC and water heating shipments by 2030 and 90% by 2040.

Participating states will collaborate to collect market data, track progress, and develop an action plan within a year to support the goals. The agreement emphasizes collaboration with key stakeholders, including heat pump manufacturers and HVAC installers.

The states also committed to promote installation of zero-emission, grid-interactive technologies in existing state buildings. States will aim to direct at least 40% of efficiency and electrification investments to benefit low-income households.

Mary Jean is a champion for lucrative career opportunities in the trades, including women and military.  She has mentored countless women pursuing a career in the trades either as an employee or a business owner.  Anderson was also influential in starting Troops for Trades, a national initiative to assist retiring military seeking a second career.

As an advocate for professionalism in the home services trade industry she often finds herself explaining the technological expertise and certifications required to successfully maintain, diagnose, repair and install the equipment in our homes.

“Every day I am wowed by the incredible team we have here at Anderson.  Sure, we give them the tools and training to do the job, but the bottom line is that they are the ones who deliver on our promise to wow our clients and that makes all the difference,” said Mary Jean Anderson, President/CEO of Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air.

On A Mission To Wow Clients 

The Anderson Mission Statement is posted throughout the offices as a reminder of their unflinching dedication to 100% Client Satisfaction.  It details the company vision as well as the blueprint for delivering on the promise that “Nobody wows clients like we do!”TM

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District Board of Directors (BAAQMD) on Wednesday approved new regulations that will gradually phase out nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from natural gas furnaces and water heaters in the Bay Area. 

According to the Air District, natural gas building appliances are one of the largest emitters of nitrogen oxides of all stationary sources of air pollution, accounting for a similar amount of NOx pollution as passenger vehicles in the Bay Area.

“The 1.8 million water heaters and furnaces in the Bay Area significantly impact our air quality, resulting in dozens of early deaths and a wide range of health impacts, particularly in communities of color,” said Air District executive officer Dr. Philip Fine. “This groundbreaking regulation will phase out the most polluting appliances in homes and businesses to protect Bay Area residents from the harmful air pollution they cause.”

Many illnesses, including coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, asthma, and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections have been linked to NOx exposure, while asthma and other respiratory conditions, neurological disease, heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, and premature death have been linked to exposure to particulate matter.

The new amendments will avoid up to $890 million annually in health impacts due to exposure to air pollution.

However, the Air District added that the rule amendments will apply only to new appliances and do not mandate the immediate change out of existing appliances, nor will they apply to appliances used for cooking, such as gas stoves. The Air District expects the new regulation to reduce NOx emissions by 90% and improve air quality significantly in the Bay Area.

New Zealand sailing’s golden boys are on the verge of more global success with Peter Burling and Blair Tuke looking to add a SailGP title to their resume this weekend.

The New Zealand team is gearing up for the final weekend of the season in San Francisco which culminates in the $1.5 million finale on Sunday.

“It’s hugely exciting, this has been a weekend we’ve been gearing up for for 18 months,” Tuke told 1News.

Last season, the New Zealand team finished fifth out of eight GP teams in their debut season but this campaign has been a totally different story with the Kiwis currently second overall on the back of three regatta wins out of 10 sailed.

Teams are hardly allowed to train in the F50s so racing is where the Burling, Tuke and the New Zealanders have been learning.

The Warkworth-built boats have hit nearly 100km/h this season — a mark Tuke an Burling are comfortable with given the similar speeds they’ve experienced with Team New Zealand.

But Burling said there’s actually a point where the boats can be going too fast for their own good.

“We hit this thing called cavitation which is where the water starts to boil off the foils, the pressure gets super low which creates a huge amount of drag,” Burling explained.

“That’s the reason why we hit the wall at about 50 knots.”

SailGP is continuing to heat up though with 12 stops scheduled for next season including Auckland next March, filling the gaping America’s Cup hole left by Team New Zealand’s decision to take the Auld Mug to Barcelona.

Burling said organisers were looking at downtown course options for the regatta.

“One of those is between Bayswater and Westhaven — it looks tight but it looks doable and it would create an amazing amphitheatre in there.

“It would be pretty amazing.”

So would a win on Sunday after a season of ups, downs and the odd lightning strike.
