Do any DUers have a Hydro-Sil wall mounted electric heater?

3. Hi WsDJ, thanks for your reply. You are the best source of Info!!

I will be turning off the wall mounted oil filled radiator. I knew something was wrong but not what it is. So much for lifetime guarantees.

I have been given a 1350 watt Holmes plug in unit that I will use now that the nasty weather has moderated a little. When summer comes I will have the current wall mounted unit replaced with something safe and more efficient. This will be a good thing for me to do. My electric bill has been through the roof!

Never thought about units that might be more efficient. Just have to find an electrician who will do the job for me at an affordable cost. If the old unit was 'plug-in' there would be no problem but this Hydro-Sil unit is hard wired so I need help. This is beyond my basic skills.

The room is 15X12X7"high. Do you think a 1350 unit (Holmes 3" Baseboard # HBH 5015) will heat this room? The unit was just given to me by a friend who never used it. It is a plug in unit and I can use it for the rest of the heating season. I checked for recalls and there is nothing listed. The unit is not new but has never been used.

All has been well in this neck of the woods. Winter beyond belief; Heating and electric bills through the roof as it is with so many others.
Still thinking about selling this old home but scared to do so. After being in a house for 45 years, the thought of moving scares the devil out of me.
Thanks for all your great advice through the years!
