Compact Heaters. For smaller spaces, radiant heaters are an excellent choice since forced air furnaces usually are designed to service larger spaces. Dickinson Marine offers marine heating systems designed for use in tight spaces such as a boat cabin (or small house). Their heaters run on diesel, LP (propane) gas, or solid fuels such as wood. Quartz infrared heaters, such as those sold by InfraredAppliances.com, are small and considered to be very efficient.
