Do electric heating systems have problems?


Yes Virginia, they do. An electric heating system is as reliable as any other, safer than most others. But they can overheat and malfunction or malfunction then overheat. Either way, this is a photo of a 20 year old electric heating unit that someone rigged. By eliminating the circuit breakers that would likely have prevented this meltdown, this handyman’s work could have burned down the whole building. Sparks flew here but lucky for them, not for long. [Picture in your minds eye going into your attic and firing up your arc welder.]
