Baseboard Heater · 1000 Watts 120V · 47-1/2 in (1206 mm) White Standard Baseboard · Ouellet OFM1002BL

What this product is for

This standard electric baseboard heater is used for perimeter heating in bedrooms, living rooms, basements, family rooms, kitchens, and similar spaces. It is a 1000W, 120V Ouellet OFM series heater with a white steel cabinet and a 47-1/2 in (1206 mm) overall length.

Use for

Use where you need quiet convection heat from a floor-mounted baseboard heater on a 120V, 1-phase circuit. Common applications include replacement of an existing 120V baseboard, room-by-room electric heat, and projects where wall length suits a 47-1/2 in (1206 mm) heater.

Typical buying guidance: a 1000W electric baseboard is commonly used for approximately 90 to 120 sq ft in a reasonably insulated room. Actual heating coverage depends on insulation, windows, ceiling height, air leakage, layout, and local electrical code.

Avoid for

Avoid using this heater where a different voltage is required, where wall space is shorter than the heater length, or where a fan-forced heater is needed for faster heat delivery. Do not assume estimated room coverage as a guaranteed performance value.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors replacing an existing Ouellet or similar 120V baseboard heater, especially in residential renovations and maintenance work. It also suits projects that need a standard white finish and a conventional steel baseboard format rather than a compact or patio-door style heater.

Installed in

Installed directly on the floor along the wall, typically under windows or on exterior walls where perimeter heat helps offset cold surfaces. The OFM series includes connection boxes at both ends and a raceway to simplify wiring during installation.

Why this product exists

This heater provides straightforward convection heating in a standard baseboard format for spaces that do not need a specialty draft-barrier or patio-door model. Ouellet’s OFM series is designed for common residential heating layouts with steel construction, automatic high-limit protection, and compatibility with wall thermostat control.

Compared with similar products

Compared with higher-end or low-watt-density baseboards, this OFM series model is a standard watt-density heater intended for general-purpose room heating. Compared with 240V baseboards, this 120V model is useful where only a 120V circuit is available, but circuit loading and conductor sizing must still be matched correctly. Ouellet recommends an electronic wall thermostat for improved comfort.

Typical circuit guidance only: 120V baseboard heaters must be matched to the branch circuit and control rating. Continuous electric heating loads are commonly sized using the 80% rule where applicable. Verify breaker size, conductor size, thermostat rating, and code requirements before purchase and installation.
