When it comes to electric heating systems for home, there is a world of choice. This is not surprising because when it comes to the various choices in heating fuel - gas, coal, oil, wood etc - not much can match the convenience of electricity.
There are distinct groups when it comes to heating - those that are offering supplementary heating and those that are taking care of the heating for an entire house. There can be some overlap, so if you live in a part of the country with mild winters maybe those good value electric portable space heaters will happily take care of the heating needs for the whole home on the odd occasion when you feel the chill.
If you want an electrically powered equivalent to an installed radiant system then you have a choice of wall hanging units or something like electric baseboard heaters. These are unobtrusive and easy to install and provide a comfortable radiant heat. They are also really easy to control room by room, which can save electricity.
There are also innovative options like the heat electric radiant ceiling. This system is similar to the floor based systems, offers a fine even and comfortable heat. It is also unnoticeable in the home.
However most radiant electric heat cannot compete in terms of value with the gas, oil or other burnable fuels, so if you live in a really cold area, electricity may not provide the best solution.
