Fahrenheat PLF1004 Hydronic Baseboard Heater,46-Inch,Navajo White,240-volt,1,000-Watt

Price is fair, easy to install, heats up quickly and very quiet. color is nice, good look in general. Doesn t look like the quality is excellent but is good enough. The metal fins are thin and easily bends, paint seems to be a bit cheap. Would buy again since they do work great. smelled for about 2 hours but now is fine. watch out for defects since delivery crew doesnt handle them with enough care, overall great little heater.

Bought two of the 58" units to replace the existing 40 year old baseboard heaters in two upstairs bedrooms. Figured it was time. ;) Installed them myself. So far I've been very pleased with the operation of the units but it's the beginning of Winter, so time will tell. Easy to install and works off the existing programmable wall thermostat. These units are shorter than the old units, I assume to accommodate the installation of the available onboard thermostat, so I would suggest that the manufacturer offer a "blank" to fill in the gap. Unlike some others I found these units to get very hot when calling for heat. If they're not hot to the touch when running for a while then something is wrong with the unit. The second unit smelled for a bit when first turned on but that dissipated in an hour. Quiet and well made.

Works just as advertised and build quality is excellent. Easy to install if you are comfortable working with 240 volt lines. I installed in a bathroom remodel and the heater will boost the bathroom temp in a matter of minutes. It helps of course when the room is small and the heater is over-sized. Instructions are of good quality. I haven't measured energy usage, but for a small bathroom, in an old farmhouse in Maine, the costs seem very reasonable.

Happy with the product. Only problem is the instructions. There are two pictures showing how to remove covers that have to come off for installation. In both cases the removal is obvious without any pictures. BUT when it comes to the important part, the connection of the 240 volt feed wires, there is one very misleading illustration and a confusing description. Here's what you need to know to connect wires on either end of the heater. You will see 2 wires (red and black on the right end, black and black on the left) connected together with a wire nut. Separate those two wires and connect one 240v hot lead to each of them with wire nuts. Then connect your ground wire and you are done. A simple explanation like I just gave would have been helpful in the instructions.

Very impressed with this product. Definitely worth the small premium over standard electric baseboard heaters. We paired it with the double pole thermostat and it works great. Just FYI it is more of an off white colour in natural light than the picture shows. We were concerned about the colour when purchasing but it is barely noticeable even against a white wall and baseboard.
