Cadet 5536 Electric Baseboard Heater 1500W

Product Description

The CADET 5536 is a 1500-watt electric baseboard heater designed for residential space heating in bedrooms, living rooms, and similar areas. It uses convective heating to deliver quiet, consistent warmth without a blower motor. The unit features pre-punched knockouts at 1-inch intervals along the raceway, allowing flexible conduit entry points and a clean hardwire installation. Licensed electricians install this type of heater as a dedicated 240-volt or 120-volt circuit appliance under NEC guidelines. The low-profile baseboard form factor keeps the unit out of the way while distributing heat evenly along the floor line.

The 5536 is suited for residential applications where a simple, cost-effective hardwire heating solution is needed. Its practical cabinet design allows placement in bedrooms, home offices, and supplemental heating zones. The pre-punched knockout spacing simplifies rough-in during new construction or retrofit installs, reducing labor time. No ductwork or blower system is required, making it a straightforward single-room heating option for zones that lack forced-air coverage.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Shut off power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a voltage tester before making any wiring connections. The unit requires a dedicated circuit sized to match the heater wattage and voltage rating. Do not install in locations subject to moisture or where the unit will be blocked by furniture or floor coverings, as this can create a fire hazard.
