I have one bedroom in the house that is always significantly colder than the rest of the house. If it is 72 degrees in most rooms it is 68 in this room. I think this is mostly due to the fact that it is on the corner of the house with a lot of outside facing wall and it has 2 large windows. The windows are newer and seal very well, storm windows on the outside. They don't draft at all. We have tried adjusting the vents, but haven't had any luck getting enough hot air into the room. The house is on a single zone, and there is no way to make it dual zone without replacing everything.
So I have started to look at other options. It seems like the 2 choices are a ceramic baseboard heater or an oil filled radiator, both electric. Is either better than the other? I'd like to figure out what the most energy efficient way to heat the room would be. Only needs to be warm at night, no one spends time in there during the day.
