Apparently it is too late to design the heat into the room, which is what you should have done. Radiant floor heating ight have been an option, but it's probably tooi late for that now.
Electric baseboards are cheap and easy to install, but are expensive to use.
They make small gas heaters that could be installed and used, but thney require gas or propane and take up floor space.

I'm considering a unit like they have in hotel rooms to heat and cool my sunroom. The can be expensive $1000-1500, but very flexible and can be used only when needed.

For our sun room, I put in what amounts to a window unit. We have a row of fixed windows at floor level and the sliding windows above them. I installed a combination air conditioner / heat pump. 220 wiring and it puts out about 10,000 BTU's of heat or cooling. Just a thought.

A big question here is how much heat do you need in the sunroom? How many square feet? Lots of windows? How's the insulation? What is your climate?
Around here, corn pellet stoves are getting to be a common supplemental heat source in addition to natural gas or propane fired heaters.

I would recomend a mini-split over a "through the wall" unit.
Much quieter, and usually more effiecent too.
