If yours stops working, then it is often because of defects in the fuse.

Also Know, does baseboard heat use a lot of electricity?

If you rely mostly on electric baseboard heaters, they probably make up a big part of your annual electricity bill, as much as 50% or more for some homes in the winter months.

What temperature should baseboard heat be set at?

Choose an energy-efficient setting: 68 degrees when you're home and 60 degrees when sleeping or away.

Each degree you lower the temperature throughout your home saves an estimated 2 percent on your heating costs.
