Tiny House Heating Ideas

Most tiny homes and small spaces won’t take much energy to heat during the winter months, as they are small, confined spaces.

When deciding on a heating system, the most important things to consider are efficiency, safety, cost and environmental impact.

Here a few suggestions for heating small areas:

 

Wood Stoves

The crackle of a burning fire is a bonus, as well as using the top of the stove to heat things up.

The initial investment of a wood-stove might be expensive, but if you chop and cure your own firewood, this could be the most economical and self-sustainable way of heating.

Here are a few suggestions for wood stoves that don’t take up too much space and are commonly used in small cottages and cabins.

Electric Heaters

Usually the most inexpensive unit to buy, the standard price for an electric heater is relatively low (around $40), but you have to pay for the electricity.

Most local appliance stores have a good selection of small electric heaters, a good option for temporary heating or for tiny houses in warmer climates.
