What are the baseboard heaters for? How do they work?
For emergency heating only in the event of heat pump failure or service, for unusually cold days, or for supplemental heating around windows, electrical baseboard heaters are installed within each suite. Each baseboard heater has a rotating switch/thermostat that turns them on/off automatically and sets a target temperature level. Most tenants rarely use them, and some even turn the breaker(s) off at the electrical panel to avoid their inadvertent use. If you are not using the baseboard heaters, ensure they are switched off by rotating the switch counter-clockwise completely until you hear a click. Carefully check to ensure they are not warm to the touch. Consider turning off the associated breakers as well.
