"Everything went great from the estimate with Ed to the installation with Wesley and Matt. They were friendly and knowledgeable. It was not an easy installation. I was very pleased with the result. They had respected my property and even called in a roofer to properly vent the system through the roof. They even installed my smart thermostat. I would use them again. Previously, there was electric heat on the second floor. Other companies balked at giving me a solution for gas but they had no problem running the line upstairs. Goodby high electric bills!"

"Although it is never good news when you need to replace your heater - the guys at Shavitz have been great to work with throughout the process. During the initial consultation and installation Mike and Jose were professional and corteous throughout the entire process. I would trust these guys again for other HVAC needs!"

"I work with other contractors and Robert knows what he is doing. He is fair with money, but still didn't everything with above reproach. I would recommend Robert for any electrical job and intend on using him in the future."

"I called at 5:30 on a weekday, expecting to either pay a huge emergency fee or be told someone could come out the following day. However, Jon said he could be by in 15 minutes. He arrived quickly and was very friendly and professional. He was also very thorough and ended up filling up the air conditioner with more Freon. I though the price for the Freon was very reasonable compared to other companies we have used in the past. Jon also took a look at our furnace while he was over, but didn't try to upsell us on anything, just gave us tips. I will definitely call this company again in the future, and would recommend them to friends in the area."

Pleased with technician and service, and will do business again them again if needed. Owner called to confirm service and sent a text with name and information about the technician before his arrival."

"I don't know if our job was easier, or harder than other garage heaters that this crew (company) installed. What I do know is that the job was well thought out and done on time and on the cost quoted. My guess is that the two installers spent more time here due to the scope of the job than the sales person estimated. They kept me in the loop when it came to where they were going to run gas and electrical lines and where they were going to put the heater. Used tarps to cover those areas in our house so there wasn't any cleanliness issues there. After they were done, they made certain that all of the garage was spotless. Highest praise."

"“I hired this electrician to install recessed lighting in my living room. They arrived right on time, explained the process clearly, and completed the work efficiently. The installation looks fantastic, and they left everything clean afterward. Pricing was fair and matched the original estimate. I’d definitely recommend them and will use their services again.”"

FAQs for electrical baseboard or wall heater service projects in Chicago, IL

Electric baseboard heaters are safe when properly installed and maintained. They often include safety features like automatic shut-off systems to prevent overheating and fire hazards. Just make sure to keep the area around the heater clear and teach children and pets to stay away from it to ensure everyone's safety.

Electric baseboard heating can be more expensive than other systems because it converts all the electricity it uses into heat. For example, a 2,000-watt heater can warm 200 square feet quickly, but heating a 2,200-square-foot home could cost around $2,485 per year at 15 cents per kWh. You can reduce these costs by improving your home's insulation and managing how you use the heaters.

Newer electric baseboard heaters are more energy-efficient than older models. They use advanced designs to deliver heat more effectively and minimize energy waste. However, they still tend to have higher operating costs than other heating options like central heat pumps. Upgrading your insulation and installing a programmable thermostat can help keep your energy costs down.

Electric baseboard heaters last between 15 and 20 years with proper care and maintenance. The top factors that impact their lifespan include how often you use them, the quality of materials, and the level of upkeep. Keep in mind they may become less efficient over time, losing up to 7% efficiency as they age.

Electric baseboard heaters need at least 12 inches of clearance in front of them to operate safely. It’s also recommended to leave at least six inches of clearance above and three inches on the side. You should keep furniture and other objects at least one foot away to prevent fire hazards and ensure proper airflow.
