They are typically used as a secondary heating source in bigger living rooms as they can heat up quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The installation of baseboard heaters does not require you to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/how-to-repair-swollen-laminate-flooring\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">redo the entire floor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for heating panels or tear up walls for the ventilation system. Despite their low cost-efficiency compared to alternative heating systems, they are quite popular due to their ease of installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are as simple to install as they are to remove. The removal procedure is simple, and anyone with basic electrical and plumbing expertise can accomplish it with ease. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of removing your baseboard heaters securely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important part is that there are two types of baseboard heaters installed in most homes. First, we will briefly get familiar with both types. After that, you can follow the instructions for the baseboard heater type you want to remove.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Types of Baseboard Heaters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of baseboard heaters on the market, and the first step is to determine which one you have installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>Hydronic Baseboard Heaters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydronic baseboard heaters do not have a direct electrical connection. Instead, they transmit water through copper or steel pipes, heating metal fins inside the heater in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An electric-heated boiler supplies an internal reservoir of warm liquid. In essence, it&#8217;s still an electrically powered heating system with an extra stage of energy transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Electric Baseboard Heaters\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electric baseboard heaters are convection heaters that are hooked up to the electrical system of the house. Heating panels with metal fins are heated by electricity, so the heaters circulate air around the room. Since they do not require pipe installation or boilers, these baseboard heaters are more common and less expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Elements of Baseboard Heaters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an easier understanding of the actual removal process, let\u2019s get familiar with essential baseboard elements, their names, and positions. Electric and hydronic baseboard heaters have a main metal cabinet, which is held up on the wall with the help of screws. At the same time, the front panel\u2019s role is to protect the inner aluminum ribbon fins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The electric baseboard heater also has a separate section on either end of the heater where the house circuit wires and heater wires connect. A tiny screw secures this portion at the bottom of the heater. Furthermore, copper or steel pipes connect hydronic baseboard heaters to and from the heater. They contain a heated liquid, in this case, water, which is used to heat ribbon fins.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Step-by-Step Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The steps below follow the exact order of the baseboard removal process. Before starting, check out all the steps and then the section that describes the required tools. Make sure you have everything you need to finish baseboard heater removal successfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Shut Down Electrical Power<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting any actual work, make sure the power is off. On the main house panel, switch off the main breaker to cut electricity supply to all circuit branches in the house. This is the most critical step in terms of your safety, therefore double-check it. If you have hydronic baseboard heaters, you need to wait for them to cool down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wait until the pipes and boiler are completely cold after turning off the power. It may take a couple of hours for this process to complete; only then is it safe to continue and remove the baseboard heaters. If the heating was on before you turned off the main electrical switch, you might need to wait roughly 30 minutes with electric baseboard heaters. Then, after the metal fins inside the heater have cooled down, it is okay to proceed with the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Take Off Protecting Panel\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The front side of the baseboard heater has a protective plate that protects metal fins from damage and injuries. Because this panel is frequently not screwed in but instead adhered to the wall, it is simple to remove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have a general understanding of the internal components of the baseboard heater, you can proceed to the more difficult steps of removing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>Detach Wires\/Cut the Pipes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At each end of the electric baseboard heater, wires are linked and housed in a separate portion. Disconnect the associated wires by unscrewing this portion. There are terminal screws on these cables that we need to remove to unplug the heater from the power source. After that, the wires will be exposed. To double-check if there is electricity voltage, use a voltmeter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hydronic baseboard heaters do not have a direct electrical connection. Therefore, the next step is to use a pipe saw or a pipe cutter to cut down supply and return pipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to use a pipe saw for the first time and have never used one before, this could be challenging because a pipe saw is difficult to use for an inexperienced plumber. A pipe cutter, which is much easier to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/how-to-cut-cast-iron-pipe-with-an-angle-grinder\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">handle and cut pipes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, would be the best option. To avoid excessively high pipe ends, cut the pipes as close to the floor as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>Remove the Metal Cabinet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heating panel with metal fins is now disconnected from the wiring and pipes. It&#8217;s now safe to remove the heating panel and approach the rest of the baseboard heater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A metal cabinet will be mounted on the wall and secured with screws. To remove the screws and disconnect the cabinet from the wall, use a screwer. You may need extra strength or assistance to separate the metal base from the wall, depending on how strong and deep the screws are.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>Secure Wires and Pipes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To disconnect the heating panel from the electrical source, we unscrewed the wire nut in step three. You must place wire caps on bare wires to safeguard a home from damage when the power is restored. Electrical circuits in a home will be safe in this manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tape all of the wires together so they don&#8217;t tangle even more to secure the ends. There should be a junction box for storing wires. After you put wires in, make sure that the box is completely closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be that there is no junction box but only a hole in the wall from where the wires are coming out. In that case, put away taped wires in the hole and then use a drywall patch to close that hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have cut out the pipes on the hydronic baseboard heaters and removed the baseboard heater main cabinet. The next step is to secure the pipe ends. You should secure the pipes because they can be easily damaged and are prone to dust. To protect them and stop the fluid flow from unused pipes, put pipe caps on every end.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Tools You May Need<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To successfully finish the baseboard heater removal, you need all the tools that are mentioned above in the steps. Tools like screwdrivers or isolation tapes are standard in every home. On the other hand, wire and pipe caps are usually bought only when needed. To make your search easier and faster, we have compiled a list of required tools with brief usage directions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n<h2><b>Pipe Cutter<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RIDGID-40617-Quarters-Tubing-Cutter\/dp\/B001P307PO\/ref=sr_1_5?\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5258\" src=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/51tzA1VmwSS._AC_SL1200_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/51tzA1VmwSS._AC_SL1200_.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/51tzA1VmwSS._AC_SL1200_-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/51tzA1VmwSS._AC_SL1200_-1024x965.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/51tzA1VmwSS._AC_SL1200_-768x724.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Applications: <\/strong>Cuts hard and soft copper, aluminum,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 brass, plastic tubing<br \/>\n<strong>Pipe Capacity: <\/strong>1\/4-inch to 1-1\/8-inch (6 mm to 28 mm)<br \/>\n<strong>Weight: <\/strong>1\/2 pound (0.23 kg)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your day job is not a plumber or something similar, it\u2019s unlikely that you have a tool for cutting pipes in your home.

If you&#8217;ve never used one before, it&#8217;s as simple as leaning a voltmeter against a bare wire and looking for light signals. If it is on, it means that the wire still has electricity. Turn off all electrical power in the house and check again. For safety concerns, double-check each wire.<\/span><br \/>\nA voltage tester<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an excellent alternative to a voltmeter. The main advantage of this tool is that it is non-contact. Meaning the wires do not have to be bare to check if the power is off. It is enough to lean the voltage tester against the jack, and it will send a signal for electricity if there is any.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\"><a class=\"check-price\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AstroAI-Digital-Multimeter-Voltage-Tester\/dp\/B01ISAMUA6\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Check Price<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n<h2><b>Wire caps<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"a-spacing-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EFIXTK-Electrical-Connectors-Connection-Assortment\/dp\/B01MPXUEPO\/ref=sxin_11_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5262\" src=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/61e3sOb1U9L._SL1024_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/61e3sOb1U9L._SL1024_.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/61e3sOb1U9L._SL1024_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/61e3sOb1U9L._SL1024_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/61e3sOb1U9L._SL1024_-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Brand Name: <\/strong>EFIXTK<br \/>\n<strong>Connector Type: <\/strong>Screw<br \/>\n<strong>Item Weight: <\/strong>10.6 ounces<br \/>\n<strong>Model Number: <\/strong>MJE1027<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With wire caps or wire connectors, we make the connection tighter by placing them on bare wires.
