How high can baseboard heaters be installed?
I'm trying to do a basement loop to heat up my basement. Can I install a hot water baseboard at approx. 12" from the floor?
Question from user Omar at stackexchange.
Answer:
Sure you can.
Expect to have cold feet, since there's no reason for the cold air sitting on the floor to move if the baseboards are set a foot above it. Circulation will pretty much stop at the intake height of the baseboards, unless you run a ceiling fan or something for mixing.
