Heating options in a rental house

[Gretchen P.]

We are remodeling an 850' house that will be kept as a buy and hold. The house currently has old/broken electric baseboard heaters. There is no gas or ductwork. As you can see the bedrooms are very small, making placement of beds in a room difficult with baseboard heaters.  What are the options that won't break the bank. We will likely have whatever we get professionally installed.

Mini splits are ductless (air sourced)heat pumps.

Depending on what you are trying to to accomplish they can be thousands of dollars but typically not.

Keep in mind they can only provide heat usually efficiently to only a certain temperature since the condenser unit is outside and has to extract heat from the air, so if it's literally zero degrees outside it's going to be harder for it to extract heat.  I don't have the stats off hand for all units but some of them are better than others at lower temps etc, some have electric resistant heating elements to assist in creating heat.
