Hi Everyone,
I have just built an extension to my garage to use as a workshop. Specification as follows
- 10m x 6m
- Walls are cavity insulated
- Roof is 45mm Insulated cladding (With 3 full length rooflights)
- No Windows except for doors (planning restrictions)
Im wondering what the most efficient method of heating the workshop will be.
Given that I will be spending around 10 hours in there each day, 6 days a week the heating will be on quite a bit.
Option 1 - Electric heaters
I think this will be just too expensive to run. Even though they would be quite compact.
Option 2 - Internal Gas Heater (Super-ser)
I thought this would be a good choice but everyone tells me that the condensation will be terrible.
Option 3 - Standard Oil Burner fitted outside.
Probably fairly efficient and I could pick up a second hand one very easy.
The main problem is that wall space is at a real premium, any radiators would be under shelves / Benches and I think that defeats the point.
I might be able to make room for 2 radiators but thats about it.
So please fire all recommendations and advice my way.
Thanks in advance.
