I have a new tumbledryer (condensing - needing no water outlet) and want to put it in the garage. I have two electric sockets already installed right next to its cleared spot.
Then I find in the manual it says that it should not be put in a place that has exposure to frost. I suspect in Leeds, frost in the garage may become an issue even though the garage is a side extension of the house.
As the dryer will tucked in a corner of the garage right next to the house, I could enclose it with a simple insulated box with door access and use the second socket for a little heater tube thermostatically controlled just next to it to keep the frost off in the worst weather.
Does anyone make anything like this heating tube....hopefully nice'n'cheap? Even a non thermo controlled one would be better than nothing, I find even small towel rail heaters are too large and pretty expensive too.
Any ideas folks?
