So we have a guest house that had 20 year old 220v electric Baseboard

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.

The thing is, while its heating the oil its not heating the room.
Heating oil to heat a room is going to use more energy than to just heat the
room.

Nope. As several people have said electric heat is 100% efficient.

As Edwin said the oil just maintains heat output over a longer time.
