| Electric resistance heating | Energy | A type of heating system that generates heat by passing current through a conductor, causing it to heat up. These systems usually use baseboard heaters, often with individual controls. They are inefficient and are best used as a backup to more efficient options, such as solar heating or a heat pump. For more information, see "Saving Energy with Electric Resistance Heating," provided by the U.S. Department of Energy. (references) | |
