Best way to legally provide heat in a converted bedroom

[Trevor J.]

Hi all,

I will be converting an open area into a bedroom but wanted some feedback on what external, not duct-related heating elements have worked best for others, particularly in the San Diego area. Anyone have any brands or model numbers of forced air heaters, electric radiators tied to the wall, etc.? Any advice on acceptable heating units that would satisfy the requirements set forth by the IRC and any other local CA ordinances would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Trevor
