Baseboard heating may be the solution. It’s relatively cheap to install since it requires no boiler or furnace, and no vents, heating ducts, or lowers.

It has a heating control that serves one room, so it’s best for fairly small areas. In addition to individual controls, baseboard heating is quiet.

Good but…

Now for the negatives:

It’s expensive to operate. Baseboard heat is nowhere as energy efficient as most other heating systems.

It also provides a dry heat that some people dislike. One solution is to install a humidifier, but that’s an added cost.

Better solution?

You also can consider a ductless HVAC, which will provide heat and air conditioning.
