The workshop just warmed up to 15c after hours of using three electric heaters together.
There has to be a better way!
I am dreading our electricity bill.
From watching videos on the YouTubes, it seems the cheapest option long term is a diesel heater, but even the american guy recommending them didn't think they were legal any longer.
They still sell them on eBay coming from overseas, and take around a month to arrive. Larger units are around £100 but after installation they only cost around $0.20/hour to run, depending on how you have the settings and price of diesel.
I do worry about carbon monoxide, and the fact this is a rented unit, though. These are also the reasons I haven't set up a stove or other burner
Is it worth attempting to insulate the walls? I doubt I can find any way to get as high as the roof.
I wonder if the heat would just escape up into the rafters anyway?
Some sort of false ceiling over our work area? That would at least trap the warm air better, but would that require some kind of building permission?
Argh, I just don't want to feeze or suffocate!
