What’s better, Hydronic electric or regular electric baseboard heaters?
Have electric baseboard heat and looking to switch them to the hydronic electric baseboard heaters. Now the hydronic ones are around 0 vs about for the regular ones. Are the hydronic ones cheaper to heat? Why are they so much more $$$? Thanks
Question about heating options?
I currently looking to buy one of two homes. one has a hvac system that’s almost at the top of the energy star rating, and the other has electric baseboard heat. how much savings would the hvac system have over the baseboards. i like the home with the baseboards more but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for heat this winter. i also have a 6mo. old who will be crawling soon and worry about safety. I heard the the hydronic baseboards are safer, but are the water filled baseboards more efficient then the normal ones? Would appreciate any help, thanks

What size electric baseboard heater do I need?
The room is about 10×13 and I have electric baseboard heat, just pulled a 6 footer out or there looking to replace it with a newer one. IS this the size I need for that area? Also, looking to go with a hydronic baseboard, I heard they are much more efficient, is that true? Thanks
More Info: house is located in CT, 2 outside walls, 2 double-pane low-e windows, walls are insulated: don't know the rating….Above the room is an attic, below it is a garage. Thanks!
How do you hook up an electric hydronic baseboard?
Changing some baseboards in my house and currently have electric baseboard heat. I saw these electric hyrdonic baseboard heaters at Home Depot. Will these just wire up or do I need a water line or anything else? It says that the heating element is immersed in a liquid to radiate the heat better. Thanks
What are the advantages of using one of these versus just a normal electric baseboard? They are about 3 times as much money.
