| HOMEOWNER CRIES FOR HELP... |

QUESTION:
I am guessing it is not possible or economical but I have to ask.
We have a 13 X 20 three season room. The back buts our home and is drywalled. The sides and front are completely single pane glass sliding doors all around. It goes up 9 feet or so high and there is fixed glass up there as well. It has a wood shingled roof above...insulation could be added there if not present already..not sure.
Is there any need to warm the area in the fall and winter. It would not need to be warmed at all times; ideally something that could warm the area quickly as needed. I thought of pellet stoves or Propane stoves but I would think any type of heat would create condensation unless a door was cracked; then you are letting cold air in. Personally I can not believe the cost at build time would have been much more just to frame it in but what do I know. Opinions please.

ANSWER:
Most times in that situation I would recommend a PTAC (hotel style) unit, they are effective and unobtrusive and you will have both heating and cooling.
This is the most economical and effective way I know of to condition these kind of room additions.
