- watersb 9y agoThanks. The article is new to me, though. Oddly enough, I was pondering exactly this delusion as I fired up my small wood stove this morning. The electric baseboard heaters work quite well, and recent trends suggest that grid-based electric may continue to become less environmentally harmful.
- megaman22 9y agoI'm sure electric baseboard heating can be effective... Unfortunately, anyplace I've ever encountered it has suffered from other deficiencies - inadequate or non-existant insulation, single-pane windows, inadequately pitched roofs, and other features eminently unsuitable for a cold-weather climate - that electric heat has become a red flag.
