i have one of those radiant heat electric baseboard heaters in my bedroom cause i like it to be warmer than the rest of my place....got it at lowes & it doesn't raise the electric bill bad.
i had one in living, bed & bathrooms in my previous place cause apparantly it was insulated for shit & the electric bill was never rediculosly high

that's just a quick search & i don't see the one i have in that but you get the idea. mine has a digital thermostat, so you can set it to the temp you want & it'll cut on & off just like the central unit....works wonderful in average-sized rooms
**edit** found the one i had by searching the manufacturer :doh:
