Electric Wall Heater vs HVAC

[Lily W.]

Hi BP,

Just wanted to get thoughts on different heating options.

I need to install a new heating system in one of my apartment units (approx 580 sqft) but wanted to get thoughts on whether an Electric Wall Heater was a good option? So far based on quotes I've been getting, installing electric wall heater is significantly cheaper than HVAC quotes. Currently have ceiling fans in the apartment and its a 1 bedroom. 

For context electric wall heater quotes have been around $1300-$2000
For HVAC dual mini split has been $5K+ 

If anyone has installed an electric wall heater I would love any thoughts/suggestions. Or if there are better alternatives

Thanks!
