Are there any energystar qualified baseboard heaters?

I had a new furnace put in 4 years ago and duct work into areas of the house that didn't have ANY. We bought the house from family, it was our grandpa's house and he had a really old furnace that he never used and when we bought the place and turned it on, it was leaking gas.We had to buy a new one and realized that he never had duct work put in because he always used a wood burning stove. That too was old and rusted, we had it removed. Our first winter we had an enormous gas bill because our house is on a slab, the house frame is cinder-block, and all of the duct work we had put in had to be run through the attic and be put in through the ceiling otherwise we would had to have the walls opened up to have heat registers near the floor. (I hope you understand what I'm saying). Anyways, we bought a wood-burner so that we would not have to run the furnace constantly. For the amount of money we paid for one cord of wood a month, we should have just run the furnace. I'm now looking into baseboard heating. Are there any brands that anyone can recommend? Again, I'm surrounded by concrete, so the floor is always cold. Any suggestions please.
