I've recently moved into a house that has electric baseboard heaters and
thermostats controlling them in each room. It's a one storey house with a
finished basement. What's the best way to use these baseboard heaters to
keep the house warm, but not break the bank? If I heat the basement will the
heat rise to the main floor? Should I just heat the room I'm using? Any
thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Own or rent? Where are you located? And, have you checked to see if the
attic is insulated?

I own. I'm in Victoria, British Columbia where it never gets really cold,
but it does get damp. Yes, the attic is insulated.

Leave the ones rooms with water fixtures set to around 50.
Other than that, only turn on the heat in rooms you're using.

insulation.
if you can swing it, you can geotherm it, but instalation would be
expensive.
Yes hot air rises, but if you have controls in each room they are self
regulating anyway.
