Baseboard & Wall Heater Installation in Florence, SC — Electric Heat, Dedicated Circuits
Electric baseboard and wall heaters with the dedicated circuits and thermostats they need.
Baseboard & Wall Heater Installation in Florence & the Pee Dee
Electric baseboard and wall heaters are a simple way to warm an addition, a chilly back room, a garage workshop or a sunroom — but they pull serious current and need their own properly sized circuit and the right thermostat. Palmetto Electric installs them safely so you get even, reliable heat without nuisance trips or overloaded wiring.
We size the heater to the room, run the dedicated 240V circuit, and wire the thermostat where you'll actually use it.
Common problems we fix
- A cold room or addition with no good heat source
- Garage, shop or sunroom needing dedicated heat
- Old heaters that trip the breaker or won't warm up
- No dedicated circuit for the heater load
- Wanting a wall heater with a built-in thermostat
- Replacing a failed baseboard element
- Wiring for a guest room or finished basement
What homeowners ask us first
Can I just plug an electric heater into a regular outlet?
Small portable ones, yes — but permanent baseboard and wall heaters draw too much for a shared circuit and need a dedicated 240V line. We install that so it's safe and trip-free.
How big a heater do I need for my room?
It depends on room size, insulation and ceiling height. We size it so the room actually gets warm without wasting energy or overloading the circuit.
Where should the thermostat go?
Either built into a wall unit or on an interior wall away from drafts and direct heat, so it reads the room accurately. We place it for comfort and control.

Do baseboard heaters need a 240V circuit?
Most permanent baseboard and wall heaters run on 240V dedicated circuits for efficiency and safe load. We run the correct circuit and breaker.
Can you add heat to a converted garage or addition?
Yes — baseboard or wall heaters are a common, affordable way to heat spaces your central system doesn't reach. We size and wire them properly.
Why does my heater trip the breaker?
Usually an undersized or shared circuit, a failed element, or a wiring fault. We diagnose and correct it so it heats reliably.
Are electric wall heaters safe?
Properly installed with a dedicated circuit and clearance, yes. Problems come from DIY wiring and crowding. We install to code.
