What calculation do you use to measure for electrical baseboard heaters? I want to make sure I get the right size.

I would think you would want to do a heat loss calculation. This would give you BTU's needed for each room. Then you could convert BTU's to kilowatts. I believe there are 3413 BTU per kilowatt. I fyou search "heat loss calculations" on the internet, you may find some free software.
