we have just moved into a house which has a large porch at the rear which is used as a utility room for a washing machine and freezer which also has a double radiator in the room.
The previous occupants said the pipes froze last year and that they have since well insulated the room. Whilst i do not doubt they have done this, i would like to avoid any further pipes freezing.
Could anyone advise me on the simplest/best way to do ensure this without too much expense ? I had thought that about putting a thermostatic electric fan heater in and set it to come on when the temperature drops to just above freezing to take the chill off the room ?
The room has two windows which are double glazed.
thanks
