Default Need to replace Baseboard Heaters with ??

So we have a guest house that had 20 year old 220v electric Baseboard
heaters. Flip a few on and watch the Meter Fly!

So I'm looking to replace them with either another baseboard unit, or a
Wall unit.

We have one of the portable radiator type fin units filled with oil and
I like the way it can still heat after the oil's been warmed up.

Do they make a Baseboard heater that I can Mount to the Wall that does
something Similar? I do not want a Portable unit, I want something Fixed.

Any Suggestions?

Scott-



The question you want to be asking is how replacing
an electric heater with another electric heater
(oil-filled or not) is going to alter the spinning
of the meter.

If there is absolutely no other fuel source available,
focus on reducing heat loss (windows, wall/ceiling
insulation, etc.)
