How We Repair Your Cadet Baseboard Heater
Furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, radiant systems and space heaters produce heat with burners, elements or a heat pump circuit, protected by safety controls.
Every Cadet model has its own parts list, so we start with the model and serial number on the rating label. That tells us the correct parts and any known issues or service bulletins for your unit.
Safety first: Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas. If one sounds, leave the home and call 911.

Should I repair or replace my baseboard heater?

Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
