I'd definitely keep the electric baseboard as there are no air vents in the lower level and the independent thermostats in every room would maintain the balance of heat when using the wood stove, etc.

I guess I'm just wondering how much, realistically, I'd save overall. My electric bill is $230/mth. year-round for a completely electric home with central AC, which is pretty good methinks, but those costs rarely/never go down...
