Heating in a conservatory

[conny]

Our Conservatory is 10' x 12'-6" with a pitched 38mm perspex roof.
We sometimes use a 2kw oil filled radiator, (on wheels), and place it at the far end for an hour or so.
Takes the chill away and we don't have that cold 'seep' of air around your ankles as we don't have doors to separate it.. Grand kids play out there as well.

we don't have doors to separate it..

Hmm.

Do you know what the Building Regulations say about conservatories which are not separated by doors from the house?

Yes. But I had mine built as an 'extension' to my living room as the present one is fairly small.
If we ever come to sell I'll have some fitted but in the meantime I will enjoy the feeling of extra space.

Thoughts?

Probably a good product - a COP of 4.5 is pretty respectable.

Whether they make it, or just badge something from Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Daikin etc I don't know. I don't suppose it's any cheaper.

They aren't a DIY install (and I believe you should avoid any which are), so find a reputable installer, and see what they recommend.
