In an enclosed patio, with many double pane vinyl windows and insulated walls the heat loss is pretty high. The square feet dictates an 1250 watt baseboard heater. The owner only wants a small heater that will prevent the water lines on a washing machine from freezing. My question is if an 500 watt heater is used and on all the time, with an 1250 watt heater cycling on and off and properly heating the area, would there be a huge difference in heating cost?.... tough question because we are supposed to provide the right calculated heater, but the customer gets what they want if it's safe...?
