more economical way of heating our conservatory in winter?

[Elaine]

we currently have an oil filled electric radiator in the conservatory but this is expensive to run and as my capped electricity deal has finished I'm trying to think of a cheaper way to heat the conservatory. We can't add a radiator to our gas central heating as the boiler has the max amount of radiators running from it already.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

We have the same problem even though a radiator from the CH is installed. The cheapest method we have come across is a calor gas heater. This is almost instantaneous, is cheap to run,and can be fired up on demand. The only drawback is the smell of the gas but if only used periodically is bearable.

I used to live in a flat that had no heating at all, Winter was awful and I'd find myself going to bed with more clothes than I wore during theday sometimes LOL. Anyway, My second Winter there (last year), I bought a halogen heater, which stayed in my bedroom and warmed it just nicely for the size of it (the bedroom, that is). For my livingroom, however, I bought one of those gas heaters, where you use the 15KG canisters of gas (I do hope you know what I'd talking about because I can't think what the 'real' name for it is LOL.)

The heater itself cost �40ish from B&Q and the gas canisters cost �20 a time and last me around one and a half months and I was a snug as a bug in a rug at last :0)

The only problem with the calor gas heaters is that create an awful lot of condensation.
