Stan: 
If you want a quote on getting that Fujitsu installed I will see what I can do. As a floor console it will be more expensive that a high wall unit, the nocria would not be a bad choice either because if forces the air downwards.

You are right the heat pump is the cheapest way to heat that area unless you can find cheap firewood.


Yes, Please PM me a quote, though I don't know when or even if we'll be going the heat pump way as there's still some "Selling" to do at this end.

The Nocria unit looks good too and would consider something like that though I fear the draught from a wall mounted one may not meet with SWMBO's approval.

Is it just the unit price that's more expensive for the floor console or the installation as well?


Its more the units cost.

It depends where you place the unit as to draughts.

I will pm you a quote when I am back at work. Is the install on an external wall?

Technofreak: Currently we have a portable gas heater (unflued) a Rinnai RCE 329H, which according to the specs is good for up to 3.6 Kw. It was in the house when we bought it and we used it last winter, it did a reasonable job of providing heat.  However unflued gas heaters produce a lot of water as a by product of combustion and must be use in a ventilated room, so you lose some of the heat.  We are still deciding on either a heat pump or a flued gas heater as our main source of heat.  I want the heat pump the wife wants a gas heater.

I don't want to use the portable gas heater this year and am thinking about a portable electric heater as an interim measure preferably one with a fan.

Has anyone on here got any recommendations on electric heaters?


Heat pump. 
Heat pump. 
Heat pump. 

Update: More detail. A heat pump heats very efficiently when its cold outside. It also cools very efficiently when it is hot outside. A gas heater can only heat.
