3 Great Ways To Heat Your Garden Pods in the UK

Written by Posted On Monday, 13 July 2015 08:33

Looking to keep your garden office warm this winter? Here are three different methods of heating you can choose to consider:

Method #1:

Electric radiators are a popular choice and can be found in modern as well as traditional styles. These radiators are comparable to what you would find in your home, save for two differences: 1) they mount directly to your wall, and 2) electric elements are used. 

The one pitfall of these heaters is the lack of temperature control, but that can be addressed by directly linking your radiator to a thermostat as well as a timer. Since there are no exposed heating elements, they make for the safest heating option.

Method #2:

According to Garden Rooms Ireland who sell garden pods Ireland the most advisable option is to install a wood burning stove. They are perfect for any type of setting and offer numerous benefits such as heat retention, carbon neutrality, and a quick response time. 

Never install a burner on your own, as it poses a safety risk. Hire an HETAS engineer to do the installation to avoid problems during installation. One major pitfall of wood burners is the expense involved as the piping and accessories can add up!

Method #3:

Though not recommended as a primary source of heating, underfloor heating can be a good backup source. It certainly isn't economical, but it feels lovely underfoot during the colder months. When you usually find underfloor heating in your primary residence it needs large flooring areas as well as water-filled pipework. Additionally, it makes sense to have flooring such as tiles or concrete that can retain heat. These forms of heating work very well according to Groundsun with air or ground source heat pumps and together can be great for saving money. 

For a garden room, electric underfloor heating is best. It runs on mesh elements, but it does limit your choice of floor coverings and maintenance requires lifting the floor to perform work.

When making your final selection, consider your budget and the overall size of your room!
