4. Should do it.

The low ceiling is a big plus .1000 watt would do it.
A good handyman in your area should be able to change out your heater for a reasonable price.
Holmes is good.

Actually, I loaned a holmes plug in 3 footer to a tenant when the gas wall mount furnace malfunctioned. The furnace has since been repaired but the guy keeps using the loaner ! Must be cheaper to run! Or maybe the furnace just scares him. A clogged feed line for one of the burners caused the furnace to make loud popping noises ,dam near shook the unit. Had the gas company fix it for free. The tennant has a 16x's 20 room and another 8x 10 kitchen plus a hallway and bathroom. I loaned him two heaters, both plug in, one fan driven the other the base board.

He tells me most of the time he uses only the baseboard if that tells you anything. He keeps it between the kitchen /living room opening. It's a basement unit with low ceiling so it stays warm.

I assume your oil filled runs on 220 watt ,is that right ?
