| heating the new addition
I built a 2nd floor on my cape, and adding a 2nd heat zone to the hot water baseboard is going to be alot of money. My question concerns the new hydronic electric baseboard heaters. I've heard they cost less to operate than the older electric heat. Since I'm insulated well, and use a wood stove as my primary heat source, I considered using electric baseboard heat upstairs. But in western Massachusetts, that's not usually considered a good option. With the cost of oil, and everything else I mentioned... anyone have an opinion on this? Are these hydronic electric units really less expensive to operate than convention electric heaters? |
