I just installed a new 4 ft electric baseboard heater and thermostat in my office. The heater operates but puts out very little heat. Any ideas?

It's 110V and should be plenty big enough for the room. (8'X9'). I have electric heat running through the rest of the house, so I have a good idea of how much a register should be producing. It puts out much less heat than other 4 footers in the house.
