Default Ductless Heating - retrofit possible?

If LP or natural gas is an option you might consider one or more Monitor
heaters.

We've got a 3000 SF rustic contemporary in western MA, cathedral
ceilings, lots of :dead: space.. Original builders tried to heat with
in-wall electric blowers (!) then switched to a "woodstove" style gas
heater. It does the job, barely, running 24/7 in a cold snap. Since
there are no ducts in the house, traditional heating is not an option.
Does anyone know of systems that might use small tubes or pipes that
I could run in the corners of the rooms or along the baseboards, so
that we could have some zone heating in this house? I've seen some
ductless combination AC/heat systems, but the heat only works if it's
above freezing outside - not an option out here. We already have
ceiling fans, passive solar house ( mixed blessing) and insulated
window blinds. Radiant heating a partial option on the first floor,
but we're looking for something we can do in the whole place - Thanks
for any help you can provide -
