In the process of building a garage extension and the finished garage will be well insulated and draft proofed with an insulated front roller door.
It will be 12mtrs long,6 mtrs wide and the front half will have headroom under the roof trusses of 2.4 mtrs and the back half 4 mtrs. Guess what is going in the back
Total heating load at 0C outside and 15C inside circa 4.5KW.
It will be what I call a feast and famine use. Some weeks you could be in there most days of a week in the winter but other weeks not in much at all the same in the spring and autumn. So it needs a system that heats up quickly and is controllable.
Therefore electric heating fits the bill, time clocks and thermostats unless someone can come up with something better.
The calor gas and oil non flued heaters basically produce a lot of dampness and lots of heat.
It is not suitable to extended the central heating to the garage.
So has anyone spent time insulating their garage and if so what type of heating are you using. Infra Red, convection or fan heaters.
Please only answer if you have done this and have the actual experience.
