If you have hot water heating in your home, you may be abie to remove the bulky old radiator and replace it with a length of baseboard.

Your heating contractor can tell you just how much you need to heat the bathroom, while the rest of the house stays at its normal temperature. If your home has electric heat, be cautious about making changes. The wiring should be handled only by a licensed electrician, and besides, electricity and water should be kept far apart, so be sure the electrical unit is not within reach of the plumbing appliances. health officials seem to agree that residents of Utah Valley are healthier than the nation as a whole, but they cite a variety of reasons for this finding.
