Hi all,
just after some advice.
I've insulated my garage, added double glazing and swapped the personnel door for a double glazed one and the entry door with a roller one, although that needs something adding to the bottom to seal the last little gap.
I use the garage as a workshop/gym/piano practice area.
Before winter hits I want to ensure it's setup to ensure nothing rusts or in the case of the electrical stuff - gets damaged.
so, heating.
What temperature should I be aiming for? just as a bottom line so nothing breaks. I don't mind it being cold - although of course I'd be wanting to crank up the heat when i'm in there but i'm keen to keep it above whatever is deemed as the lowest point.
the space is 6m(l) x 3m(w) x 2.4m(h)
speaking to my electrician, he's advised nothing over 3kw in order to keep load on cabling safe.
I was thinking of getting a couple of 1500w heaters, connect them to an inkbird thermometer, then set it to whatever you lot tell me is a safe number.
