How we repair your Baseboard Heater
A baseboard heater is a low wall-mounted unit that heats a room by convection, using either electric resistance elements or hot water fins fed by a boiler. A baseboard heater relies on a heat source, safety controls such as limit switches and flame sensors, blowers or circulator pumps, and a thermostat. A technician checks the ignition and safety sequence, airflow or water flow, and electrical controls.

Common Baseboard Heater problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Hydronic baseboard cold
- Likely causes
- Air trapped in the loop, a closed zone valve, or a boiler circulator problem.
- What our technician checks
- The loop is bled and the zone valve and circulator are tested.
Uneven heat in the room
- Likely causes
- Bent fins, blocked airflow from furniture, or a thermostat mounted in a drafty spot.
- What our technician checks
- Fins are straightened and thermostat placement is evaluated.
Burning smell
- Likely causes
- Dust or debris on the element, objects touching the heater, or a scorched wire connection.
- What our technician checks
- Wiring connections in the junction box are inspected for heat damage and the element is cleaned.
Heater will not shut off
- Likely causes
- A thermostat with welded contacts or a failed relay keeping power on.
- What our technician checks
- Thermostat and relay contacts are tested with the control turned to off.
Heater not warming up
- Likely causes
- A tripped breaker, a failed line-voltage thermostat, an open high-limit switch, or a burned-out element.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks voltage at the heater, tests the thermostat and limit, and measures element resistance.
Clicking or ticking noises
- Likely causes
- Normal metal expansion, fins rubbing the housing, or a loose mounting.
- What our technician checks
- Mounting and fin clearance are inspected and adjusted.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Check the breaker for the heater circuit.
- Turn the thermostat up and listen for a click.
- Move furniture and drapes at least a foot away from the heater.
- Vacuum dust from the fins with power off.
- Bleed the air valve on hydronic baseboards if present.
Safety first: Electric baseboard heaters run on 240 volts in many homes, so the breaker must be off before removing covers, and fabrics should never touch the unit.
