How to heat an average sized house with a small heater.

Last week we got power, this week we have heat!
At this point, our HVAC machinery is not yet in place.  For the time being, we have a 7kW/10kW DeWALT heater.
This guy is in our mechanical room pumping out heat.  It isn't a high intensity heat, you can stand right in front of it.
However, it is plenty to get the whole house to a much more comfortable temperature.
​As we have no gas service, this is running on electricity.    
​Not as efficient as the geothermal will be, but with how little heat is needed and how important it is to have the heat, I'm ok with that.

Part of the reason this small heater can do this is that our house is VERY well insulated at this point.  
The doors haven't even been fully sealed yet.  A couple even have holes where the doorknob should go (some of the doors don't operate, so no doorknobs were needed).
Below I have an image of our door to the (future) screen porch and a close up of the border where the final seal is yet to be made.

Even with these areas though, the house is holding the heat well.  I can't wait to see how well it does once the house is complete!

This week the low voltage guys from Lucid Integrated Systems are wiring downstairs for ethernet outlets, camera, monitor and networking.  Even though I am a bit of a networking geek, I'm very happy to have these guys doing this.
My knowledge in a few areas are adequate, but the knowledge these guys have in all the areas is exceptional.  They make it look easy!

The siders have done all the facia needed so the gutters can go on.  Measurements were made last week, so hopefully we will be hearing soon about when those will go on.  Once they do, the steel roof is next!
