Heated Garage

<< < (2/2)

Laverda Dave:
To be honest Roy when the roof caved in I wanted to take the pre-cast garage down a build a brick garage the same size but with an apex roof. When I applied to the council they told me being 20 x 20ft garage planning permission would be refused as it's size would make 'habitable accommodation'! In other words people could live in it. 'Converting' (the word is used in its loosest sense) garages in London is rife, most of them are converted illegally and the councils turn a blind eye as they will be liable to house the tenants of these ramshackle 'homes'. It's now so bad the more greedy owners are converting double garages into two flats! Hence why I had to do the best I could with what I had.

Moorey:
It produces up to 5Kw  fuel consumption is rated  at  to 0.2 to 0,5 lph but can be run on red diesel reducing the cost. A little noisy at the moment but will be substantially quieter when I get the exhaust through the wall  next week.
A lot of condensation is caused when people use some sort of direct open flame for heating like space heaters. These are indirect blown hot air so condensation should be much reduced as you have no moisture from the combustion side.

For those running dehumidifiers how much water are you pulling a day, and is that down to the air been dry or the limits of your dehumidifiers.
I have a 18ltr Ebac dehumidifier that figure is for perfect conditions. But is rated at 350w which roughly works out at £1.50 per day or £10 pw. It soon adds up.
