Do we need to provide HEATING during winter time?
Do you turn on heat on cold day?
or the HEAT from DRYER is enough?
Thanks

my laundromat only has a single electric baseboard heater, so it sometimes get down into the 40s overnight
and I've had the mop bucket freeze behind the dryers a few times
I'm adding another EBB after some other remodeling
Heat from dryers are not enough.
My 120-150,000 BTU furnces run all days in the cold winter sometimes.
Cost me $500-1500 more gas in winter ,it denpet on the store.Cost me $12,000-13,000 each month for 3 stores last winter!

an electic baseboard heater is a thing attached to the baseboard (bottom of the wall) where electricity goes in and heat comes out.
Think of an electric heating element mounted in a safety cover and bolted to the wall, just above the floor
I have one, hence "single"
sometimes may be referred to simply as "baseboard heater"
