Thanks.
Electric resistive is 100% efficient by nature but it is also the most
expensive way to heat.

Want only electric baseboard heating.
No need to cool makes me think you're in the great white north.
You'll pay a pretty penny to heat with resistive if you are. Features
and price are pretty much all you need to compare, as I mentioned they
are all equal efficiency.
Is there a compelling reason not to add the room to the existing
heating system?
