What would you all recommend for a small baseboard heater that can plug into a regular 3 prong outlet and be secured to the wall?

The room is about 100-120 square and other than sleeping, we don't really spend time there. There is not a vent there so for the limited use it's not worth doing that.

 

Doesn’t mount to the wall but this style is reliable inexpensive and safe

You’d wanna research the brand tho

As far as plug in baseboards they’re prolly all pretty similar lol pick one based on appearance and reviews

 

The right stuff for my 1920s-1930s houses is actually 'quarter round', and when you put 4 pieces back-to-back in your hand it makes a complete circle/dowel. But you are absolutely correct that not all shoe molding is quarter round profile.

 

Really trying to stick with baseboard..I have 4 cats, plus the room is small. I have a jog out at the bottom of the wall that I could attach a small baseboard one between the jog and the window.

I just need it for sleeping, don't really use the room otherwise. Plus I don't want to use floor space for it

 

Uhhh ohhh

What are you in trouble for?

 

Nothing yet. Old house that the upstairs 2 rooms were added on after a while, and they never ran heating ducts up there.

 

And you want to ensure it has heat when it becomes the dog house?

 

Get yourself a King brand from Home Depot, for the money they are hard to beat, come in different lengths.

 

Want to stone veneer this bad boy up to the ceiling. Two questions:
1) veneer onto drywall or swap drywall with cement board?
2) add hearth or no?

 

Nope, that is our bedroom. It's never been toasty warm in winter but this year has been especially cold. We replaced windows, insulated, all that long ago but only so much ambient heat comes up from downstairs.

Nice nice, do they just plug in?

 

We did fake limestone rock right on the Sheetrock with hearth and mantle

 

We’ve moved out and are listing the place. I’ll try and remember to take a pic tomorrow

 

Thanks I'll look into the fake stuff! Seems like it's alot easier to install than real stacked stone veneer

 

We just used mastic to glue to wall and cheap screws to hold them in place. Leave screws they get covered with grout. Sand and Portland mix

 

This is likely not a full solution but do you have a heated mattress pad?
They are truly wonderful inventions. Its the only reason I can keep my heat at 63 in the winter to save some coin.

 

Yes they do

 

Thought about it but it's mainly my skull gets cold. Our bed is set up so our skulls are right by a window. No real other way to arrange it in a small room with eaves coming down. The house was originally a one floor cottage people would use as a summer getaway, built in the early 1930s. The walls in the kitchen hadn't been apart in 50 years until 2015 when we did a full remodel..I found a lot of names and dates on the barnboard under the drywall and paneling from people summering here.

Much appreciated, I was going to try and get to the local Home Despot today but ran out of time storm-prepping.

 

I have 2 DeLonghi oil space heaters like that. They work very well in the rooms I have them in. My daughters bedroom is 120 sq ft and mine is 160 plus a open door walk in closet. Keeps our bedrooms as warm as we want without using the oil burner to heat the whole upstairs.

 

X2. I had one in the kid's room when we were having HVAC issues, and we have a lower bedroom half set below grade that can be an icebox in winter. Works great in both. Each was approx the size of your two rooms.
