I will be living in a third floor studio (about 400 sq. feet) in Chicago. The management has recently installed electric baseboard heat, therefore I was not able to get price quotes, before signing the lease. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with electric baseboard heat and how much it costs during the winter months? What would be a cheaper alternative? I signed a lease for a year – so I would not be able to make any major changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kerosene heaters, propane heaters, or prefeerably natural gas heaters. Just have a vent for the exhaust.
Electric baseboard heaters are energy inefficent.
Electric is the most expensive source of energy.
And baseboard heating is even worse.
