Electric Heating Systems in The Northland Region

We install supplementary, high-efficiency electric heating systems

Homeowners often view electricity as a clean, reliable, hassle-free heat source, but the reality is we consume a great deal of fossil fuel to produce electricity at power plants throughout the country. Only about 7% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources. Most electrical power plants burn coal or natural gas, and both of these fuels contribute to air pollution and climate change.

J&RS can install a new high-efficiency heating system for you that will make your home more comfortable and lower your cost of home ownership. We can recommend a better alternative for your electric heating system or suggest the best ways to use electric heating as a supplementary heating source.

Electric heating systems

Electric heat is actually one of the least efficient methods of heating your home. If you have electric heat in your home, you are probably paying far too much for heating. You're also likely to have hot and cold spots in your home or even within the same room rather than a consistent interior temperature.

While electric heating systems are not a good option for whole home heating, they can be beneficial for smaller spaces or as a supplementary option. There are two main types of electric heating systems for this purpose.

Electric space heaters

Quite a few different types of these heaters are available. Portable models are available, as well as models designed to be hardwired and mounted on the wall. Many electric space heaters are equipped with fans to better distribute heated air, and some have adjustable thermostat-based controls.

Electric baseboard heating

This type of heating system works just like the heating coils on top of an electric range. The electric current runs through a resistant material, causing it to heat up. Aluminum fins on an electric baseboard heater increase the surface area of the heating unit to improve convective and radiant heat transfer.
