Options for Heating A Small Room

dl657737

I'm in the process of turning one of our 3rd floor rooms into an office/mancave, but I'm struggling to find the ideal means of heating the room.

I recently bought an electric Mica convection heater for the room, but it took about 5 hours to bring the temperature up from 50 degrees to about 63. That seems like a really long time, and I'm hoping to have the temperature closer to 70, and I'll probably only use the room 8-9 hours during the week. I want something that can bring the heat up relatively quickly; perhaps within 1 hour?

I would prefer an electric source and have been doing some research. It seems the ideal type of heat (if my goal is to heat the whole room; not just the desk area) is radiant heat. I've looked at a few electric oil radiators, but every single one seems to have a few negative reviews saying they've sprung a hot oil leak, and I'm really trying to avoid that.

Are leak-proof electric radiators a thing? haha

If not, what are some other options??

The room is roughly 135 sq ft.

Regular electric baseboard is trouble free and will heat fast if you put in the right amount. I heat a small condo 1 floor is about 550 square feet with 14' of baseboard.

A fan convector will be a faster recovery, faster heat up. I think you can get electric kick space heaters or install them in a wall cabinet.
