Best way to Heat 3 Rooms in an Electric Only Building

[wcavanagh]

So I am about to rent the ground floor of Victorian building, to run my beauty business from. The building is electric only heating and currently has none at the moment.

Is a Split Level Air Con/Heater unit worth considering? I have read you put less energy th you take out, so seems like a good option to me. Heating around 80 sq meters in total.

You may find success with air to air heat pumps depends on the thermal efficiency of the space you are heating.

And with installation they are a few £k, so in a rented space you might want to do some payback calcs.

I guess otherwise you are looking at oil filled radiators.

I can self install these myself, so looking I can get units at about 700. I have no control over the electric tariff so storage is not an option, and only need to heat the space during the working day for 8 hours or so 6 days a week.

80sq metres is very roughly 50,000 Btus if that gives you an idea.

Mitsibushi units provide 18,000 so that would be 3.

Ive not used air-air but one of my customers runs an air con company and reckons they are pretty good.

Very cool, many thanks that’s what I was thinking 3 units one in each room.
