Great Idea Dianna! I love electric baseboard next to central air. Its clean & quiet!
First go to this link and determine the size of each room. http://www.onlineconversion.com/room_area.htm
Then multiple 10 to the square footage. They say you need 10 watts of heat per quare foot of space. So if its a 400 square foot room, you need at least 4000 watts of electric heat. They sell 6 footers at 220V 2000 watts each. If you dont have enough power to support that then you have to sacrifice a 115V which will generate more electricity.
If its a small bathroom, get a in-wall fan which can work on thermostat. Each room needs a seperate thermostat.
