My bedroom is 16X20, originally added on as a garage. There is no heat source and gets quite cold in the winter. What would be the warmest and most efficient way to heat this room?

Thank you!



Answer
I don't know where you live or what the building is made of, but first insure that it is or can be insulated as well as possible. If you have propane or natural gas, you can have a nice free standing fireplace, and they don't have to be vented (they even come with a remote).

If you only have electric service, the insulation is still important. The alternatives are not as desirable; however, there is a commercial heater that fits into the wall (like in hotels). You will need a professional to install it.

Hope this helps.

How much should I expect to pay for my electricity bill in a 500sqft condo?

I am moving into a 1 bd 1 bth condo and all the utilities are included except for the electricity. About how much should I expect my bill to be each month? If you can help it be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!


Answer
It depends on several factors that some other people here already mentioned.

How much sun exposure do you have? Is your stove electric or gas? Is your fireplace gas or electric? How is your home heated (electric)? Do you leave your TV, computer, etc on all the time? Do you do a lot of laundry? Is the place well insulated (double pane windows)? Is the hot water tank well maintained or in bad shape? How much does each kW of electricity in your area cost? All of these are things you have to know in order to guess your electricity consumption.

For example I pay $40/month for 1100SF. I've seen people with 2200SF pay $300/month because the home has single pane windows, a hot water tank that hasn't been maintained or repaired for over 2 decades, etc.
