do baseboard heat in a above garage bonus room for a flip??
Thoughts/opinions: I have a 3 bedroom 1960 ranch I'm nearing completion on with a bonus (4th?) 200sq room above garage that has two closets and door with stairs that go into (incorporated with) the house. previous owners used it as a sewing room) No heater in there. Should I put in a baseboard heater or not? If I did I'd do 220 hardwired with thermostat and would have to run a dedicated line. Even If I did a plug in 110 baseboard it technically should be on it's own dedicated line despite the plugs that are in there (15amp I think). I anticipate it as a kids play room or office space; not so much as a bedroom but hey, I'm not the future homeowner.
It's a house in a great working class family neighborhood and area where homes sell within 2 weeks. Investment wise it's likely to cost =<350 plus my time. Originally I wanted to include it with new duct wrok with the the furnace and A/C system but The HVAC guy said it wasn't cost effective and wouldn't intergrate well with rest of system. HE would have had to run all new duct work through the garage and fircode it all and such. said a PTAC would be a more viable option and better and I should let the next owner do that.

What about a ductless mini split? They are great options for rooms like this.
