Query 2. Anyone with experience believe the Hysdrosil is worth it.
They offer a lifetime warranty. The electric strip heaters seem to
last about 6-8 years. Any savings that way would be very slow in
coming, as would be any savings achieved thru cheaper operating
costs of the Hydrosil---if they truly are cheaper to operate.
Thanks in advance---it would be wonderful if the answer to Query 1 was
in the affirmative

The savings promoted by Hydrosil are phantom. The watts
sent to strip heaters create the same amount of room heating
as watts sent to a Hydrosil.

There may be some difference in comfort level due to the
smaller band of temperature swings, but economy and efficiency
will be the same.
