Hello everyone. I am considering adding electric heat to my home. The home has baseboard heat, as a backup to a heat pump. The base board heat is old and needs thrown away (falling apart, breakers all off). I installed a corn stove several years ago, and get along well with that. The house will hopefully be sold this summer and buyer wants total electric-no corn stove. I already have Heat pump and just want to add a heater kit. I am in south east Indiana, have an above average insulated ranch home about 1500 square feet. Is it possible to heat it with 10KW heater? I know I should get a load calculaton done, and probably will, but just thinking about it now. What are some of the problems with electric heaters other than expense? I am looking for just a few pointers here nothing concrete.
