heating for a conservatory

[trevone64]

can anyone give me advice on the most economical way to heat a conservatory apart from off the mains boiler system? thanks

The absolute cheapest surely is the tea-lights method with the upside-down flower pots arrangement.

It isn't necessarily difficult to extend your central heating system, using flexible pipes (although many plumbers will sneer at it). But if you've definitely ruled it out, maybe a wall mounted oil-filled electric radiator?

[KidKruger]

If you're going to add a radiator to existing heating circuit using plastic piping, I'd recommend PolyPlumb. Just used it (in parts) to re-plumb my gaff.

They sell it at Plumbase in Crystal Palace.

Bear in mind that heating a conservatory is a bit like burning ?10 notes in your fire to keep warm.

Most of the heat will be lost through the massive glass area, even if its double glazed and reflective coated.

I would suggest you burn ?5 notes as that will be cheaper than using tenners!
