I have baseboard heat in my place. And the only way for my place to get good heat is when I turn the thermostat up to 90, and it has to be kept on 90 for me to get my place warmed up. If I try to lower it to 65-80 it's as if nothing was on. I simply can't afford to have the heat turned to 90 everyday all say just to get comfortable heat. My landlord said that I have to let he heat kick in... but for how long 24hrs??

What kind of dwelling do you live in? Trailer, second story apartment, house?

I live in a second story apartment building.

Do the baseboards get hot? Too hot to touch or just lukewarm? Can you hear the water making noise as it is circulating?
