I have recently moved into a house with electric baseboard heaters. My living room has a very large window and an electric baseboard heater below it that runs the full length of the window. There are curtains on the window that we draw at night for privacy. The bottom of the curtains is about 6 inches above the baseboard heater. Last night we closed the curtains and for the first time turned the heat on. The room got warm, but we noticed that a lot of the heat was going behind the curtain and filling the space between the curtain and the window. Is this right? Thanks to all.
