At my house I have two upstairs bedrooms which do not have any heat sources, ie no heat runs. On the coldest nights last winter, temps in those rooms got to 60-62 degrees while the rest of the house was at 70. My two young daughters will be in those rooms this year, and I'd like to add some electric heaters to pick up the slack. I'm struggling to find any small baseboard or other style electric heaters, which I can control via a programmable thermostat. I'd like to program them to only run at night, say between 7pm and 7am, and set them at 68 or so. I can either plug both of these heaters into the same 15amp circuit or, run 1 or 2 new dedicated circuits to power them, as needed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I would try installing fans in the ducts first to get the heat up there....They also have fans that you can install in the register. Electric heat is so expensive. A mini split would be your best option.
