electric heating

Wired thermal system

Electric heating is the conversion of electrical energy into heat for warming spaces, water, or industrial processes.

Unlike gas or oil systems, electric heaters require no combustion or fuel storage—just a connection to the power grid.

Common forms include baseboard heaters, heat pumps, and radiant floor systems.

The cabin relied on electric heating since there was no gas line.
