Baseboard Heater Starting on Fire

Baseboard Heater Starting on Fire

Given that all of us operate on 100% electric baseboard heating, it absolutely is a crucial loss to be down a whole baseboard

My roommate & I live in a neighborhood apartment, & there are many things about it that are not exactly up to code. One thing that stood out when all of us first moved in was that things were clearly uneven. This causes particular surfaces to have a slight slant or angle to them. For example, our countertop is at a slight angle. One afternoon all of us were cooking in the home office & a paper towel slipped off the edge of the counter & fell directly onto the electric baseboard heater. The two of us didn’t notice for a while, & it eventually caused the baseboard furnace to beginning on fire. The two of us grabbed the fire extinguisher & put it out as quickly as possible, however the baseboard furnace would not turn back on after that point. At that moment, all of us thought that all of us could just turn the furnace off & try it again once things had cooled down. The two of us soon l gained that the fire had caused permanent injure to the baseboard. My roommate & I decided to just live with it because all of us didn’t want to lose our security deposits to pay for the repairs. Now, all of us just make due with one less baseboard. Given that all of us operate on 100% electric baseboard heating, it absolutely is a crucial loss to be down a whole baseboard. The two of us don’t have any heat in our home office now. It’s a good thing all of us have the oven in there!
