Any way you want it. And 'anywhere you want it. Electric heat lets you design the heating arrangement best suited to your home--and your needs.

Or install zone-by-zone control for bathrooms or baby's room. And if your house ever has to grow some just to keep up with your family, no need to invest in a bigger furnace.
