To extend the existing baseboard along the exterior wall I would need to channel concrete where a door is so I would like to know can I go to the interior wall or is it so ineffective it is not worth doing?Can you put oil fired hot water base board heating on an interior wall?
It will lead to more distinct hot and cold zones in the room. Heat supplies, no matter what type, are located on the exterior wall, usually under a window or near a door, since this is where you lose most of your heat. If you put it on the interior wall, it will warm the room to an extent, but will not work well. Hope this helps.Can you put oil fired hot water base board heating on an interior wall?
You can extend the baseboard heat to the interior part, now, when doing so you need to be cautious because you'll create ';hot spots'; and uneven temperature distribution with the exterior wall and the interior wall, since as the person above said you lose heat from infiltration and the TD difference between the inside and the outside temperature.
If you want to get your room to a relative even temperature and use the interior wall for your extension i suggest you get a zone valve to control the interior part, if it gets really cold you can turn the interior wall side on and it'll help raise the temperature of the room and it will shut off at the temperature you desire.
You can do it just ENSURE you're not neglecting the exterior wall bassboard heater and that your exterior bassboard heater runs all the time.
You can also resort to heated floors if you really want =/
