I think, if done right - programmable thermostats, it could make the house VERY comfortable. Unfortunately my dad was very much of the "18 degrees ought to be enough for anybody" mindset so ours wasn't all that comfortable! Here in Georgia, because Natural Gas is so obscenely priced, electric is the way to go for the foreseeable future. But it does bother me to use such high-order energy (electric vs. gas) when I KNOW that the actual energy consumption per unit heating must be greater. Ah, gotta love those markets. I do recall the occasional click or ping too. That's why I was so surprised by my rather enthusiastic portable baseboard heater. Especially where it was so silent for the previous 3 1/2 years. It must have been dropped or something and is now an entertainment center unto itself these days. :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5598','Marc'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5598','Marc','I had electric heaters in every room when I lived in Georgetown, back then I think electric was more expensive than forced air.

Counting in my head, we have 15 such heaters in this house, ALL of them original equipment with this house (1967 ) so over 40 years old. The ONLY maintenance we have performed is a quick vacum for dust each fall. They make a slight "ping" sound if the room is quite cool when they are first turned on, but nothing that would disturb anyone. I was just thinking the other day, that when comparing electic heat to 'fossil fuel' heatting they never mention that a furnace usually needs replacing every 20 year, and the annual maintenance.
