In my rural area we have many homes that don't have CH&A (they have window units and floor heating) I have one listing like that now. I received an offer on this property this weekend. The buyer has a pre-qual letter but when the lender found out the property doesn't have CH&A they told her FHA will not loan on this type of property. All property must have a permanent thermostatically source of heat. They said it was new lending rules? Any one out there that will explain or help? Maybe a House Hack that will work to statisfy the lender without the cost of a HVAC system? I can't imagine what this will do to the many many older homes in Texas that doesn't have HVAC nor the sellers have the money to put it in to sell.

Baseboard with unit-stats. Sizing for rooms is square footage times 10 divided by input voltage.
10x10 room 100sqft x 10 = 1000 watts of heat needed
Each foot of baseboard heat gives 250 watts.
4' x 250 watts = 1000 watts
I would buy Cadet Heaters or King.
If you need help with anything just ask.
