I have only a small conservatory - about 3 metres square. I tried an electric convector for a bit, but eventually added a tap-off to my central heating and put the radiator I'd had to remove form the lounge window wall into the conservatory - absolutely brilliant!! (one of my "friends" then told me it conravened some sort of regulatons, or affected the councilt tax, but I chose to ignore him and be warm) Good luck!!

Mine is about 3 x 3 mts and I tapped off heating with 2 radiators but found this bit chilly in winter, so put 1 more in and now its fine.

I think tony1941 is correct about the regulations, but....what the hell....in the long run it would work out cheaper than a convector, and with a decent thermostat it will keep you comfy.    Who's to know?
