Electric heating options?!??!??

[dizzlesizzle]

Help please!!!!

I'm looking for an energy efficient way to heat our insulated conservatory, it has an internal roof insulation and only two glazed sides. I've calculated it needs 6000 btu's for the whole room and the current radiator covers this, although as I want to use this room when the central heating is off I need another option.

Electric heating seems to be the best option as the location of the boiler etc would be a nightmare to go for dual heating supply.

I'm looking for something thermostat controlled and wall mountable but when I start to surf looking for it my mind boggles with all the options!!

Any help please???

Thanks

How about an air to air heat pump... Heat in the winter cooling in the summer..

Is that like an air con unit? Think they are a little out of my price range plus the installation wouldn't be as simple.

Thanks though!

What is your best price on one of them units, to heat a single room?

Console heat pump for less £500. Heating and cooling and no outdoor unit.
Just a 150mm hole needed through the wall.

Have you got a UK distributor for them Norcon?

I can't vouch for this particular system. Its budget diy.

Just trawled it up on google as an example. Know nothing about them.

The OP asked for a system that runs on electric. "Windy" runs on electric.

Have I done something wrong?

2kW fan heater with built in thermostat
Cheap as chips and will outlive the energy Vs cost recovery time of any fancy system

Obviously.

Did you do anything right is the better question?

Have installed thousands of split units right.
Could do it blind folded.
In fact I've brazed copper pipework competently blindfolded with oxy/acety just to prove a point.

Do you know the company or not?
Is it a duff company because it doesn't come up on "whois"?

From memory I think that I pay about £500 for a Fujitsu 5.2kW high wall minisplit but I only buy them now and then... would get a better discount If I bought more. Price on fitting depends on where and how far the outdoor unit will be away from the indoor unit...I have fitted them 30 meters away before now

You've obviously not lived in a property fitted with these monoblock lumps of junk......Do they come with a free set of ear defenders?

That's what I thought and suspected.
Though I think my oil boiler runs above 45 decibels. I never hear it going.

Oxygen Acetylene stuff is availability to the general public, not really a big deal. What you are saying is, you heated up some solder and then melted that said solder. Nice one buddy, great personal achievement for you.

Is it a duff company?? I run my own companies, how is he legal trade in UK?
