    Radiant heat

    Baseboard electric heaters are less safe than an oil heater? I have seen baseboard heat run as the only source of heat in both apartments and old houses I lived in. The average temp in the room I am debating is mid to high 60s year around, so I know I'll need heat in there. One person suggested running two strips of 11" flex and run one at 89 and one at 79 to create a warm and cold spot. Just not sure what this will do for ambient temps especially since it will be a concrete floor.

    Does anyone on here run an oil heater? If so what does it do to the electric bill?
