OTHER hvac

I'm posting here in the 'other' forum-
besides the main heat sources listed, what are the other ones? I've lived without heat for 2 winters and can't take another winter....it's time to get my heat squared away.
I have to have maintenance free, as in if it breaks- fix it myself or toss it out and get a new one (like baseboards).
Any ideas? I'm looking into baseboard (regular and hydronic-but what's the real difference?) and those PTAC units....any advice would be appreciated. I already have my ac done, through the wall units, all Energy Star with thermostats so my home stays cool on it's own....not messing with controls.
I bought this one LG a/c-heater for $500 at Home Depot but the fan for the heater NEVER turns off while in heat mode. So I only use it for a/c.
