Another thing I liked about having the baseboard heat is that when my daughter was a baby, I could keep her room at a warmer temperature than the rest of the house. Or I could boost up the heat just in the bathroom at bath time. It is very flexible. All in all, I would say we have been very happy with our combination of baseboard heat and woodstove. My suggestion is to obtain an oil stove.
Some units have cooking surfaces.
Many styles and price ranges are available. Use a small fan to circulate the heat and use your existing electric to moderate the heat in the back areas of the home. This will not necessarily be cheap heat, but it should be cheaper, more effective heat. I believe that the Vornado's fan does a really great, and very quiet, job of evening the temperature out between the floor and ceiling levels. We have a 2500 sq.
