I've been thinking of putting a ceiling fan in my living room, coupled with an oil heater. Right now my heat goes straight up to the ceiling.

Keter has a great point. The one good thing about baseboard heaters is that they're nearly silent. Wall heater models with fans do make noise, but the ones I hear all the time don't make anything like a racket. And they're not top of the line models by any means. They're not silent, but still nothing close to the noise from a bathroom or laundryroom fan.
A nice thing also about fan-driven heat is that it heats the room very quickly, so the heater's not on all the time. Unless you leave a window open, or something like that.

Do you know if there are any wall heater models that are QUIET? The fan racket common to the ones I've seen just isn't something I want in my home.

I like this setup.
