Is a Batumi studio with electric heating warm enough in winter, and how much will electricity cost?

A 2 kW electric heater can usually cover a studio if the building is reasonably insulated and it runs for part of the day. Check the window seals and for drafts before renting, as heat loss has a major effect on both comfort and power use.

Electric heating can be expensive: one winter experience in a one-bedroom apartment came to around GEL 400 per month for electricity alone. The heater was not used continuously, yet the apartment still felt cold at times.

An air conditioner in heating mode can be a practical alternative to a standalone heater in a studio. To manage winter humidity, use the air conditioner’s dehumidifying mode or a dedicated dehumidifier.

For a studio without central or gas heating, a heated mattress cover, warm indoor clothing and slippers can make winter nights more comfortable. Infrared heating panels are also mentioned as a potentially more economical option.
