Baseboard ELECTRIC heat

[Wulf202]

Just more food for thought. If electric heat is your only heat source you better hope the power doesn't go out for an extended period of time.

Electric loss will take out almost all types of heat other than some fireplaces but if you're using a generator as a backup it's a small power draw for a gas furnace or rediculous for an electric system

I get that point. I went for about four days without power after a big ice storm in southeast Texas once. The gas stove and gas water heater let me cook and bathe. I had an old Dearborn heater that kept the house warm until the power came back on. My in laws home was all electric. After the second day without electricity they came and stayed with us.
