seasonal cottage heat

winterh · 03-22-2021, 11:30 AM

Some friends just purchased a 40 x 26 ft seasonal camp. Built on piers and no insulation or heat other than a fireplace. They are looking to extend the seasonal usage a bit. April to Dec maybe? Exploring options to insulate floor and feel I have a good handle on that but what do folks that have a similar situation feel is best simple cost effective heat system. Floor plan is pretty open so I was thinking a couple of wall mounted propane blower units. Something like the mini split I have in my house but for heat only. Anything else they should be thinking about?There would be a total shutdown for the real cold months.
