Save Money with Hydronic Heat from Markel

Dave Kawauchi, Electrical Marketing Manager

Are your customers “claiming poverty” due to the rising cost of heating fuels? Do you want to offer AFFORDABLE as well as comfortable heat? TPI/Markel Products has a choice: hydronic electric baseboard heaters. The 3900 series hydronic electric heaters feature a liquid-filled electric element that retains the heat from the enclosed element much longer than conventional electric baseboard systems. This allows for a more even distribution of heat into the room, eliminating the “peaks and valleys” of room temperatures long associated with electric heat.

Heavy duty construction (12 gage aluminum and powder coat finish) and ease of installation are other features of the 3900 series heater. There are 72 cubic inches of junction box area at each end of the heater so wiring for an optional thermostat or relay is easier than ever. No plastic parts that deteriorate over time are used in the construction. The 3900 series heaters are available in sizes from 400 to 2000 watts (28” to 96”), colors (white/residential, brown/commercial) and in a variety of voltages (120 to 277). With the price of heating fuels going “through the roof”, electric heat is fast becoming an attractive option when it comes to choosing new heating systems or replacing old, inefficient systems.

Electric baseboard heat has always been highly efficient and less expensive to install and maintain – now it is COMFORTABLE as well.
