We recently built a house in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We decided last minute to finish the basement and make it my office and master bedroom. Heating is the issue I'm running into now. I was originally going to put baseboard electric in my office, the bathroom and bedroom. The contractor recommended baseboard electric and then I heard that that could be really expensive on the elec. bill. He then suggested gas log heat but then said that propane might be just as expensive? I've been looking around online and I see that moisture could be a problem in a basement and that maybe propane causes moisture problems in basements. Not to mention I read that you can't sleep with it on because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
There is some existing duct work coming down to the bedroom. Just putting a vent in existing duct would not be enough would it? The bedroom is about 13x25 with 9ft Ceilings.
Any help in making this decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
