I turns out the electrical outlet was embedded in the baseboard heater face but on a different circuit than the heaters - the heaters are on a 30 amp breaker. Anyway, the ding-bat electrician never connected the factory provided copper ground-wire to the outlet. Apparently, the outlet didn't ground itself due to the way it fastened to the heater face so the extra ground wire was a necessity.
