why not something like an oil-filled radiator or a convector heater?

just as an example

Thanks so much for the advice. Anyone bought these actual heaters? Which price would you recommend? Or any other brands?

Heating by gas is much cheaper than electric. If itw as me and I used the conservatory a lot I would get the GCH connected into there

All of these heaters have exactly the same efficiency; i.e. you get the same amount of heat for your £££££s

You are probably better off with a fan(convector) heater in a conservatory as you want instant heat, and with the inherent heat loss from a conservatory it will need to be on all the time it is occupied.

There is masses of choice around £20.

Last winter we used 2 oil filled and bill sky high! we dont have gas central heating in house but have had a gas heater fitted. The fitter piped gas from supply on drive round to conservatory and we have had a wall heate fitted. It cost £200 but we bought the heater new on ebay for £29.99 delivered, they are old Burco stock, new and boxed. We leave it on mid way on dial all the time and it is pleasantly aired. If you're sat in you can turn it up to the top to be a lot warmer. So we are hoping by reducing electric bill it will pay for itself eventually.
