I wanna Heater for My conservatory......

Options
HI im looking to purchase a heater for my conservatory, its about normal size not to big.


Anyway the conservatory is used by my 14 month old daughter as a play room so i need something that will heat up but wont hurt her, i can always place this on top of the tumble drier to keep it out of the way from her.

I am a single mother so i need something as efficent as possible and the best price i can possibly get for it..........

All help would be fantastic

    Depending on the dimensions of your conservatory they can be heated very effeciently with a small heater. I have a 3m x 3m conservatory that heats up nicely with a £30 convector heater which is up on the wall out of the way of tiny hands. You can get them even cheaper than that ...ARGOS do some good value ones.
    A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Hello
    I said the same problem as you for a couple of years now. Its very cold in the winter and no one would use the room as it took ages to warm up. I first brought slim line heaters which were a total waste of money as much heat as a light bulb and then they broke! I then brought an oil filled rad this was much better but you could only programme it to come on at certain times so again the room became very cold. I have just had a rad installed which is connected to my central heating. Its much better and I was told my the plumber that the extra heating bill will be cheaper then using the above. Its not as expensive as you think to get it installed either.
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
    'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    All electric heaters are 100% efficient - you get the same amount of heat out as you pay to put in in electricity. Conservatories are about as well-insulated as a paper bag so it's going to cost you and the environment dear if you want to treat them as habitable rooms in winter.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
