Looking for more modern baseboard heater options.

I have a property on the Oregon Coast that I need to replace some electric baseboard heaters. These and cadet heaters are very common in the area. However I am looking for a more modern option. For example when I replace a cadet heater I typically spend more and replace it with the new digital thermostat ones. You can actually set a temperature (instead of guessing the temp with turning the dial) and it will also adjust the amount of power it is using based on how far away from the set temp that it is in the place. I am looking for something like this for the baseboard heaters. More controllable and more efficient. I am also open to the idea of a different style of heater such as a wall mount as I have seen plenty of those that have modern controls but for replacement simplicity I would prefer to stick with baseboard heaters if I can find what I want. Any ideas? Thanks

@Brian Kloft   If you have electric baseboard heaters you need a line voltage thermostat with the proper amount of amp. Here is a discussion on the topic.  line voltage thermostats     I had a similar issue but did not install new heaters so I don't know if there is anything with a this type of approach on the heater. We have three heaters controlled by a wall thermostat and used a relay and a thermstat because we needed 22  amps.

We do have minisplits in the rest of the house which is more efficient.


 Thanks, I have one property that has one of those in it already and I replaced that old dial one with a digital thermostat. The two bedroom baseboard heaters are dead so I need to replace them anyways. I am also looking at minisplits.
