Hello,
I live in a 3,000 sq. ft. house with forced hot air (furnace in the
basement).  My problem is that my 3 year old son's room never is the
same temperature (it is colder) than the rest of the house.  His room
is the farthest away from the furnace and has only one vent in it (as
opposed to multiple in all the other roooms).

I have tried a number of different schemes involving closing other
vents in the house (like all on the main floor or most of the ones in
the upstairs) and have not gotten any results.

It is getting cold in the Chicago area and I don't want to have to
maintain the main part of the house at 75 degrees so his room will be
around 69 degrees.

I don't want to go through the expense of creating two heating zones. 
What else can I do?

Thanks

Howdy jt22-ga,

I have placed the following style of heater in my 3 year old daughter's
room and it stays quite toasty, even in the high plains of Colorado.

Honeywell Oil-Filled Radiator Heater

-Convenience of a portable heater with the classic styling of oil-filled
heating.

-Adjustable thermostat is easy to set. Once the desired room temperature
is reached set the large dial to maintain your desired room temperature.

Would something like the above fit your requirements?  If so, I could
find some other models as well for you as an answer.  Thanks!

There is a product that may help you - it is a fan you install over
the room vent that will pull the warm air into the room.  Other
versions install somewhere in the supply line where the line is
available, e.g in an unfinished basement.  Searh for "air vent blower"
or the like.
