baseboard heating
Wall-edge heat system
Baseboard heating is a system that warms rooms through long, narrow units installed along the base of walls.
Electric baseboard heaters contain heating elements; hydronic ones circulate hot water through pipes.
The units rely on convection—warm air rises from the baseboard and circulates through the room.
The old apartment had baseboard heating that clanked and hissed.
