Here are the facts:
I do this routine 6-10 times from October –March. (When it’s cold enough to burn.)
Arrive at the cabin around 6:00pm on a Friday planning to stay until Sunday and its 23 degrees outside. Cabin has auxiliary propane insert for quick heat, but no heat is left on in the cabin just electric. Translation….it’s also 23 degrees inside the cabin!
Cabin is 1200-ish(sqf) moderately insulated- R-19 roof R-10/12 at best for walls. Floor….sorry but you need to wear socks! Oh, did I mention I also bring along “management†and the two kids for the weekend. The kids are fine but “management†gets pissed when she has to wait for heat!
I am trying to figure out a few things. Will the Mid-moe (I have a blower for it) I bought do the trick for heating up the place fast or should look for modern EPS model? Also, any suggestions on getting heat fast? There has to be someone out there with a similar situation….what do you do for fast heat? Yes the propane insert gets turned on but that just doesn’t cut it.
