Alternatives to electricity, LP gas and wood fuel for heating one's
living space.

For a super insulated 300 sq. ft. space what alternatives exist?

I am looking at:

1) solar
a) direct gain
b) stored direct gain in masonry or water

As for electric heat I can consider these options:

1) resistance, 220V 1phase, with fan, industrial grade
2) windowsill heat pump
3) 220V 1 phase 40 gallon hot water heater
maybe with solar preheat; circulate hot water through
heat exchanger coils (which I have, 2 of them designed
for water heating on a Vermont Downdrafter wood stove;
I would be using them in reverse) use a fan to circulate air
through the coils to heat the rooms.

Will 1) and 3) use the same amount of energy?
Does 2) exist?, recommendations?

Thanks for any feedback.

LL
