Hi folks,
I am converting my detached garage in to a living space with insulation (walls, floor and ceiling). Primary use is for my office and a gym. Dilemma with the heating, wife says simple electric convection heaters as we will not be spending lot of time in this space. I was hoping to extend pipe from kitchen radiator to the garage (6 foot under the ground) and install 2 radiators in the garage. Estimated cost is around £350.
Workman doing the conversion is suggesting a wood log burner. While this sounds good, neighbours window & conservatory is only few feet away from the garage and I am worried if they may take issue with smoke out the chimney and bothering them if windows/conservatory doors is opened.
1. Would smoke from a log burner cause issues, if neighbours building is close enough? I have not noticed one long enough to see how much smoke they let out?
2. Since the garage is insulated, would an electric heater be enough (although central heating may save money over few years)
Any suggestions and advice is hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance
