Does anyone know of the different brand names for baseboard heaters.. the only product i can find out there is by Qmark .. the problem with them is that they are cheaply made/designed and they are 6' long for a 1500W .. there are other brands out there but they are all portable and can not be hardwired/installed against the wall .. any idea?

I am drawing a blank on the one we carry at our store. (Home Depot). There are a couple type out there..

-Oil filed
-Resisant heat.


They are just a regular free standing type heater that almost looks like a baseboard heater, and just plugs in.

Also, there is a oil filed radiator unit.. I have used this year when our furnace was getting replaced. and it did a good job of keeping the family room warm.. I even had it on low output.
