We are looking to heat a flat roofed 5m x 5m x 8ft high extension to our house (already built), which will be used as a study/garden room.(I work from home) it has 2.5m wide double glazed patio doors:south facing.
We want it to be heated seperately from the house, (as I dont want to heat the whole house when I'm working in here all day) and someone suggested an air conditioning unit.
This somewhat confuses me as we want it primarily for heating, not cooling, do air con wall mounted units heat just as efficiently as cool?
Is this more efficient than just extending our gas heating/radiators into the extension or is this air conditioning unit really a viable alternative?
If extending pipes /rads into new extension is the best option is there a way we can separate this room from the main house circulation so we an just have the radiators on in this one room in the day?
any advice on either option appreciated
Look forward to hearing from you
