Hi all,
so, my garage is a bit of an everything room.
I've insulated it so it's more comfortable and spend a fair amount of time out there playing darts/making homebrew/playing piano.
My office is indoors in one of our downstairs rooms. It's ok, but noisy and feel like i'm in the middle of the house all the time so makes concentrating an issue at times.
The wife is also after a craft room so i'm thinking of moving out to the garage, let her take the office and i'll sit out there.
Only issue I have is that I haven't added heat as yet.
based on some energy calcs, I need about 2.5kW of heat, which on an electric heater is likely to be about 25p/hour. Which being as i'm going to be there all week, 8 hours a day, that's a tenner a week - PRICEY!
I'm considering

and wondering if this would be a cheaper option?
plus I could expense the gas bottles as a business expense I assume - that being said I still don't want to spend a tenner a week on heating.
I can't connect it to the central heating as the rooms don't really allow for that, and whilst it's insulated, it's probably not up to the standard required to be absolutely efficient.
