Note: Thermostat is sold separately. HBBT1 for single pole OR HBBT2 for double pole.
A sheathed electric heating element is totally immersed in a heat-transfer liquid and sealed in a heater-length copper tube. The large diameter reservoir maximizes the volume of heat storage fluid to prolong the thermal constant of the entire heater. Gentle heat keeps radiating even after the thermostat turns off because of the hydronic elements retention qualities.
GO-ANYWHERE DESIGN. The entire unit mounts flush to any wall and flat on any floor - wood, carpet or tile. The trim, three-inch thick functional design and low operating temperatures allow carpeting to be installed up to and around the baseboard.
QUALITY INSIDE AND OUT. Heavy-duty welded steel louvered grilles discourage insertion of foreign objects and direct heat outward into the room. Designer-style junction boxes are made of high-strength Lexan+ to resist scratches and wear marks. Built-in cut-off automatically shuts down the heater should any overheating occur.

The knockout on the baseboard heater is 5-1/4" from the base of the unit.
The SKU: 2546W would be the best fit with your specifications for high altitude.
This can be dependent on the existing wiring that you will be using for your application. More often than not a double pole would work for this baseboard heater.
Page 4 of the installation Manual (attached below) indicates what is recommended when using these units with wall thermostats. http://s3.supplyhouse.com/manuals/1260299463537/20230_PROD_FILE.pdf
The painted heater cabinet may be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or waxes as these may damage the finish or leave a residue that will discolor. If it becomes necessary to repaint heater, use only a quality enamel paint suitable for metal surfaces following the instructions provided with the paint. DO NOT paint the heating element or safety limit capillary tube. Repaint only the exterior of the cabinet.
Please draw your attention to page 2 of the installation manual to see if your application would be acceptable. http://s3.supplyhouse.com/manuals/1260300809952/20242_PROD_FILE.pdf
We've had this product in a bedroom for several years and have been very happy with it. It is indeed sealed and doesn't get hot like others...and does a great job. I can't see how it would be a problem for long-haired animals.
Depends on if you want a double or single pole thermostat. The single pole is SKU: HBBT1
If you are connecting multiple units to a single branch circuit, determine the total ampere load (see Nameplate), then determine the power supply wire size and the circuit breaker or fuse size required. Please see pg 3 of the Installation instructions for more information: http://s3.supplyhouse.com/manuals/1260301244480/20270_PROD_FILE.pdf
There is a conversion factor for calculating watts needed for heating square footage of a space. You're going to need at least 2500-3000 watts, if not more for that much space and that much temperature elevation. Installing solar panels might also be necessary to keep your electric bill from skyrocketing. I decided against heating the entire house with these units and went with a mini-split heat pump system which also gave us A/C in the summer, too.
