I'm wondering if I might actually save money by installing baseboard

Depends on the cost of power...


Power is often free :-) We pay for energy.

Do some energy comparisons first.
1000 Watts (1kW) = 3412 Btu


Nonono. That's comparing power and energy, like miles per hour and miles,
or apples and oranges. Energy is power (a rate of energy use) times time:

1000 watt-hours (1kWh) = 3412 Btu
