I have a room downstairs that is alwsy very cold in the winter. I was wanting to buy a standard electric baseboard heater. Do I just mount those and plug them in or do I need to buy anything extra?

One large enough to heat a cold basement room may need a dedicated electrical circuit to power it. Get one with a thermostat control.

I have the same set-up. The hydronic units are cheaper to run because they heat a fluid and the fluid slowly releases the heat. You can swap them out, as long as the themostat is rated for the same voltage. (availible in 110v or 220v). And yes anybody that can wire a light and use a screwdriver should be able to swap them out. (make sure power is off!!)

Buy it. Plug it in the wall and sit in on the floor. It's that easy.
Enjoy :)
