We have a granny annexe we're creating from a garage and another room in the house.
We need to use electric heating to heat the annexe.
I'm thinking of using infrared radiators to heat the annexe and have a couple of questions:-
- Am I mad? Or is this a viable option? Are there any other ways of electrically heating the annexe cheaper or more efficiently?
- Do I need a radiator in the small kitchenette and bathroom or will heat flow into there by itself. I think with traditional radiators the warm air moves round the house but with infrared it doesn't? I'm guessing they need their own heaters?
- I'll be using an electric shower, and localised water heaters for bathroom and kitchen sinks. Can't see any other way around that.
Anyone else been in this situation and have any advice?
