<p>A mini split heat pump would be a (relatively) permanent
solution. Mount a bracket on the inside wall & locate the
outside unit nearby. The two are connected by a pair of copper
refrigerant lines & some electric wires that pass through a
~3" dia hole in the wall. <br>

<p>I installed a couple of mini split heat pumps in our garage &
the bonus room above. The install was easy. I had an electrician
install the connection/shut off boxes outside and then I paid a
HVAC tech to vacuum the lines and check the refrigerant charge
(they come pre-filled). They work great - with the push of remote
control button I can have heat or A/C. Note that they lose
efficiency for heating when outside temps are below 30F-35F. <br>
