Um, nope. It’s far more efficient to heat water with natural gas or propane, with them being “heat sources”. I built a NetZero house in 2018, it uses on-demand Rinnai tankless propane water heaters, propane dryer, propane oven & stove. The heating system is a Mitsubishi Air Sourced heat pump (Electric), as I also have a 10KW solar system.. all of the appliances have electric outlets as well as the propane connection, so they can be switched to electric in the future. I believe in energy diversity, and flexibility, as well as using the best fuel choice for the job, and heating water is very efficient with gas, versus an air sourced heat pump.

Using one if these as a hest source has got to be expensive electric heat is expensive

Is an electric baseboard heater a good option as a secondary heat source in a bathroom which was added in an extension on my house? There are three exterior walls and it is always cold despite there being a radiator. The rest of the house is heated by a gas boiler and there are radiators in the other roooms.

The minute you mentioned the planet I switched off, WTF has the planet got to do with your chimney?

Thank you so much I really appreciate the information. I am thinking of spray foam I had breast cancer I want to make it does not give cancer

My bathrooms fans (2) are always on and loud 😢what can I do about it ?

Is there some sort of negative pressure issue? There's not much of an air exchange since there's only one valve.

My additional concerns not mentioned are the potentail for hempwool to become termite/rodent habitat, and fungal growth potential.

What are the odds that Ed would be right about the energy prices every year since the 70's? I'll join him in predicting that they'll rise every year henceforth. I'd love to sit down with Ed and pick his brain on multiple topics. Men like him and Jay Leno are walking encyclopedias. ❤

should've planted some other species as well

I have two. I'm removing the one on the weathered side of the house. The water heater exhausts through the other. If it's not taking up any square footage, and is not dangerous, AND you still have a fireplace, leave it. Figure out a way to plug the fireplace. But make it so you can re-open it, for use. Just in case you NEED it.

How does it do with UV (Sun)

Cellulose is Not more fire-resistant than rockwool.....

Which one do you have at home? Great video. Just missing some concrete suggestions

Can you show us how and where to add the weather strips as a diy?

How do you install in a basment rim joist if it needs 6"?

which bamboo floor brands are non toxic? how about LVP?

Good day, I do have electric base board and wondering if an old style thermostat is a good saver of energy or I should change it also will it make a différence if I tuen it off when I am not home and on in the evening ? will it use more energy to worm up the room or not ? Thank you very much

Per spec you should be 4” away from the wall 🧐

not!! , shit-can the $#%@!! music , jack !! , y u sheeples do dat ???

Would you be able to add "ducts" to a unit like this say split the fresh air into two bedrooms if it was a short run just to split the air?

Good mix of technical information and entertainment, well done

If I ever built my own small house I will definitely put simple electric baseboard heat ..

Just installed one, now trying to figure out why i'm still running out of hot water

Can you talk about the relief joints and how you treat them?

They’re all I have, I don’t have a forced air system, it went out 2 years ago.

I have a hard time believing the capture efficiency on these is anything good. Especially with the being on the ceiling stead of near the cooking source. Thoughts?

I just bought a house in the mountains and it came with strictly electric baseboard, I’m tearing it all out and using propane heaters lol

is it all electric?

How do you avoid getting rodents and bugs considering that it's paper and not something man-made

Does it make any noise? I’ve never used a convector before

does it really reduce humidity from outside? if so by how much?

Easy solution. Hepa and carbon filters

Wood fiber cheaper e to work with, batt and blown n n soon panels. Insultion

If you’re worried about issues with air quality, shit the heaters of, vacuum them out, vacuum underneath, and keep your house clean in general you’ll be fine.

My whole house has electric heat. There are benefits to electric: no ductwork, doesn’t take up a lot of space, cheap to install & repair if necessary, heat every room independently, 100% efficiency, maintenance free, just vacuum them out occasionally to deduct dust burning smell, no worries with gas or oil leaks, no carbon monoxide hazards, don’t have to worry about an HVAC furnace breaking down and costing thousands to fix, don’t have to worry about running out of oil. I like it, I like the simplicity and reliability. Yes they are more expensive but there are new smart thermostats from Mysa. You need Wi-Fi to do it, and you can control all the thermostats through the Mysa app. You can set a schedule for hearing, install geo fencing, and lower temps to 55 for parts of the house you’re not in.

Does anyone know if this is available in Japan?

class A fire rated would mean that it doesn't get fire at all, like basaltic wool, but sheeps wool gets fire , but it doesn't spread it. In Romania we've got LanaTerm producer, which wool insulation is fire rated as E class

I want to use a 48 inch electric baseboard , which would be mounted at the base of a wall with a large picture window . My wife needs the heat to keep her legs warm while working from her work desk . We have two splits in place , but this does not help her at the front window where she works . Is the 48 in electric heater an option ?

Who cares about the price I just want to sleep without hearing my noisy neighbors

What a useless video

Hemp insulation is very difficult to produce because no hemp plant grows the same. Hard to create an efficient production when dealing with material variables. There is a production plant in Idaho but that is the only one in the United States at this time that I am aware of. Hats off to those folks taking such a big risk.

I’m all for any and all innovations and sustainable materials to insulate a home or business but good Lord you drug out the cost that long. Not exactly a product that is really sustainable in the sense of cost.

we are renovating our late 1800 house in quebec. we are installing high efficiency mini splits and are considering installing baseboard or convectors as supplementary heat source. Which one would you recommend? If useful, the house has 10 foot ceilings. Thanks!

just put the shit in the toilet bro

Can you install it over 2” of closed cell foam without having moisture or other issues?

useless video

Sorry but bring in a professional ringer does no credit to the vidio. Your daughter is obviously a professional installer. Look at her pink outfit so obvious 🤣😂👍🏼. Ps- I hope you paid her well in ice cream and chocolate.
