Electric baseboards or Hot water baseboards
 

What does everyone think?? I haven't had electric heat for a long time so I don't quite remember how it felt using it.

Easier and cheaper for me to wire for them, then to replace our existing boiler and plumb new water baseboards.

hydro is prob going up 28% over next 3 years.

gas just went down 6%.


installation costs are a bigger factor

gas prices will increase quicker then hydro over the long term.

get a heat pump.

Thank you.. Can't I say I really know how a heat pump world but I'll research it.

I have hot water baseboards in my house and I'm not really loving it. In my last place I had in floor heating and I like that even less. I actually wish I had forced air, would also give me the option of central AC.

A heat pump is forced air. Only thing with a heat pump is that you'll need to have venting ducts installed, which can be costly, unless your house already has that. Lots of newer houses comes with heat pumps these days.

if you currently have all water heat. your main electrical panel and incoming service might not handle adding all new electric heat

this is vry true. call me i will upgrade your service. haha

Yes we curently have hot water baseboard heaters. We've added onto the house and I'm debating wether to go with electric or upgrade the boiler and go with hit water all through out.

Electrical panel is 100 but I will be doing an upgrade to 200 amps which will handle the load..
