Chaufferette. Autrefois, ce terme désignait une boîte à couvercle percé de trous que l'on remplissait de braises et qu'on déposait par terre pour se chauffer les pieds. On la faisait aussi glisser entre les draps d'un lit pour les réchauffer. En Amérique, le terme s'applique aussi au système de chauffage d'une voiture et à un appareil portatif servant à réchauffer une pièce. La plupart des ouvrages spécialisés n'acceptent pas ces deux derniers sens mais lui préfèrent respectivement «chauffage» et «radiateur». Ainsi, s'il fait trop froid dans une pièce, vous faites fonctionner un radiateur d'appoint, en plus du radiateur intégré au système de chauffage (baseboard heater). 7, record 2, French, - radiateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20portatif

Plinthes chauffantes. Elles sont constituées, soit par des tubes lisses, soit par des tubes à ailettes installés en plinthe ou à proximité du plafond sur les parois extérieures. Suivant le type, elles dissipent la chaleur par rayonnement ou par convection.

Electric baseboard heating systems are similar to hot-water baseboard systems in that they use baseboard convectors installed along exterior walls in each room. The difference is that, with an electric system, energy is distributed as electrical energy rather than heat, and it is distributed by wires rather than pipes. 1, record 15, English, - hot%2Dwater%20baseboard%20unit
