Converting a very small room in my place for my r.u.b rack. The room/ large store cupboard is 3m x 2m. It is slightly cooler than the rest of the house. Does anybody know or have experience with different portable heaters as i would need to raise the temp to an ambiant room temp of 80F. Currently it's sits between 65 - 70f. Also best insulating methods or would this not be needed as it part of the house. Was thinking about a small oil filled radiator but just wanted to hear from anyone that may know of a better or more economical method.
Thanks |

Something with a thermostat like this http://www.charliesdirect.co.uk/products/supawarm-thermostatic-controlled-mini-oil-filled-radiator-heater-900-watt?utm_source=ShopZilla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=SupaWarm%2BThermostatic%2BControlled%2BMini%2BOil%2BFilled%2BRadiator%2BHeater&utm_campaign=Rad Also while the energy consumption table is usefull dont use it as gospel when buying one, oil filled heaters are much better at heating a room and therefore may only need to be on for an hour or 2 a day where as the fan blowers may well use less electricity but will need to be on for much longer to attain the same amount of heat. |

I used an oil filled radiator to heat my garage. It was only used when I was actually in there in the winter but it cost around 20p an hour to run. A friend of mine had a big house and used to use the electric fan heaters in a couple of their rooms. They said they cost a few pence an hour to run. I don't know what wattage either of these were but the link below might give you some prices:-
