ᐅ Heating the House During the Construction Phase?

Hello everyone,

We are now in the interior finishing phase, meaning the remaining openings will be closed soon. After that, the screed is scheduled for early December. The interior plaster has fully dried after 12 weeks. It is getting colder now, and inside the house it is still 1-2 degrees Celsius (1.8-3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than outside because the vapor barrier and insulation on the upper floor are not completely sealed yet. According to the site manager, it doesn’t make sense to set up a small heater, although the construction power supply is running through the general contractor 😀. Therefore, the question is: does it make sense to heat a bit with a 2 kW heater? Thank you very much.

I don’t think 800 watts will be enough if we actually have 1 or 2 weeks below freezing.

Do you have any data? U-value, envelope surface area?
