That needs good insulation first, or am I missing something? Usually space heaters are warmer, but less efficient. Heat pumps are great if you have time to warm up the space but if it's insulated like an open field, you'll be always cold.
- _Microft 6y agoWhy wouldn't one insulate the space? Heating is no end in itself.
- zejn 6y agoHeat pump is essentially a "reverse mount of a refrigerator", putting heat in and throwing cold out. In the worst case, the pump will degrade into a heating element, only outputting heat from electricity (which is what a regular electric heater does). Insulation is not a requirement, but will lower your energy needs to keep a steady temperature.
