Recommended Electric Wall Heaters?

Question

Hi all . I have an apartment unit that doesn't have heat in one of the rooms. At some point in the history of the house the heat To this particular room was disconnected. Does anyone have an installed electric wall heater that they recommend? Size of the room is about 12 by 12 so it should be enough to heat the room adequately. Thanks in advance.

I've used this one twice, both times in bedrooms. The price was less, so my electrician must have bought them for a trade discount somewhere. It's quiet, given that it has a fan. Rooms were 14 x 14 and 16 x 16, both with vaulted ceilings. They work great, but this is So Cal. There's no temp thermostat, just higher or lower heat. Depending on the location of the room in the building, you might need quite a bit more heat in NJ, probably baseboard heat.

You can look at what they call a mini-split.  I think Samsung or LG has a line of them that my HVAC guy recommends.  No ductwork needed hangs on the wall and some can be disguised as wall art (they have a picture frame might be pricey for a rental though).

If your in monmouth or ocean county NJ you can call Itak Heating and cooling for more info.

I buy the electric baseboard heaters from Lowes/Home Depot, if you check the website it will specify how many sq ft per the size of the actual baseboard unit and the thermostat is sold separately.

There are calculations you use with how many watts per cubic  foot you need in a room. I don't recall them off the top of my head. Linear baseboard is so many watts per linear foot. I believe in a similar size room we have 1000 watts.  The biggest pain is when you hardwire them make sure you  think about furniture placement. I highly recommend the kind with a remote thermostat. Other options  include wall mount close to the ceiling or some units people have already mentioned but make sure you check the size you need.  I have done wall mount in a very tight space where the original heater was undersized and poorly placed.  I am leaving out the pricier in floor electric.  For brands runtal is okay but I haven't had a problem with any brand even older ones, knock on wood. Look at the durability of the cover in relation to where it is located.

@K. Marie Poe I have bought several furnaces from that outfit, they deliver them to your door.  I did not realize they did electrical heaters, but I never checked either.

An electric baseboard heater can be hardwired in with its own thermostat. Or are you thinking of those through-the-wall units like you find in a hotel? They can work well for additions and the like. You can get heat or heat/AC combo. But  sorry, I don't really know anything about brands/sizing.

Are you looking for a brand recommendation?  Electric baseboard is what you probably want, not sure if that is what you mean by wall heater.
