mobile heater

looking to use two mobile heaters in my workshop and office
but dont know what to get

oil filled radiators or hot air blowers
does anyone have some pointers as to the most efficient cost/heat generating units
im using a flo gas heater at the minute but wont be able to in the winter as insulation here is poor and will end up swimming if im not careful,
thanks shaun

What type of space is the workshop? Is it drafty? If so using convection heaters won't work very well because the heated air will just be carried away. Radiant heaters are more suited to these environments as they heat you/surfaces/objects rather than the air.

In any case there is no 'cheap' or 'efficient' way to heat electrically. All electrical heating is (pretty much) 100% efficient. A 2KW oil radiator will cost you the same to run as a 2KW fan heater.

If you can, adding insulation and cutting down on drafts is generally a mucher cheaper alternative.

the two rooms with dividing door are 12 ft x 12 ft and double glazed,their is not any drafts but their is zero insulation and i don't think the land lord has any intention of doing any as the building are very old,
so it looks like two thermostatic controlled heaters and a rug to stand on ..
thank you
