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.

This heater is 2000 watts at 240V and 1500 watts at 208V.
The units we carry come in either 240 or 120 volts. You will need to know your voltage before you can make a decision.
Yes, you can connect all three units to one single thermostat as long as the thermostat can handle the watts and amps of all of the units.
They can be installed against kitchen cabinets, but not under them.
As the metal in the unit heats up, it will grow in size. That is the reason for the ticking sound.
Yes you can use a 240v thermostat with this baseboard. You can purchase the unit from PexSupply.com and have it shipped to you. We are not sure about purchasing in Canada, or local codes.
Vinyl is the only material the manufacturer lists as unacceptable. As long as you follow the guidelines in this manual, http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1260299463537/20230_PROD_FILE.pdf , it should not be a problem.
These baseboard heaters must be used with a Qmark thermostat. The thermostat that can be used with the Qmark HBB baseboard heater would be SKU: HBBT1(single pole) or SKU:HBBT2 (double pole). Here is the link to the product page on our website where you can find these thermostats: http://www.pexsupply.com/QMark-Electric-Baseboard-Heater-Thermostats-10331000
Any newer version of baseboard is going to more efficient than a system that is 30 years old. These units are considered more efficient as they give you the flexibility to heat only the desired areas you wish to heat, or you can use them as your sole source of heating.
The manufacturer recommends 10 watts per square foot. So, in your case, you would need a 1600 watt heater. As a side note, the room should be well insulated (4" walls and 6" ceiling).
