baseboards as well but when runnig these our electrical bill explodes.
We live in BC , Canada and our electricl rate is 0.06 CAD per KW.

I have come to the conclusion that the best replacement
(considering all things like cost, comfort, noise, environment etc) is
to put in an electrical boiler (dual energy so we can use propane as
the backup for when we loose power) in combination with hydronic
baseboards.

The cost of this solution is looking at around $3,000 USD for the
basebaords and $2,000 for the dual energy boiler. Of course on top of
that we will have the installation and plumbing.

Firs, I'd love to have those electric rates. Here in CT we are paying 19¢.
Yes, that is 3X what you are complaining about.

I don't know that propane is a good replacement and if the payback for $5000
is worth it, but you can do a cost comparison for different fuels. Check
