    Baseboard electric heat
    Does anyone have any recommendations for brands/style of baseboard heaters?
    Have looked at hydrosil, they claim to be efficient but are higher priced units. Are the fluid/gel filled units that much more efficient than the cheaper units?

    Thanks

    Here is an interesting webpage, explains that all electric heaters are considered as being 100% efficient.

    I have furnished and installed a liquid filled heating system made by Intertherm, that now seems to be made and marketed by a long time company named Cadet.

    Seems also you can get pricing and purchase direct on line.

    Hope this helps.
