For one thing, baseboards operate almost silently, in contrast to the noisy blowers of forced-air heating. In this case the question of thermostat location is moot. While these are not absolulte rules, as Carson Dunlop's sketch at page top illustrates, we usually place electric baseboard heaters on an exterior wall. The trim, three-inch thick functional design and low operating temperatures allow carpeting to be installed up to and around the baseboard. The insulation cost is a one time expense. Note that this minimum applies to standard electric baseboard heaters.
