I need a tubular heater for a new airing cupboard. The cupboard is
approx 100cm (w) x 100cm (d) x 250cm (h). I see that standard tubular
heaters come in 60w, 120w, 180w etc. What will I need to keep the
airing cupboard nice and warm? Will 60w be enough?



Have you looked at a small dehumidifier (like the ?70 on in Sainsburys)?

You get heat out of them (175W input) and they dry the air.

The fan circulates the air too so they work much better than a tubular
heater.


Nice idea... what do they do with the water collected?

The one we have has a container that fills with an optional facility to
drain via pipework if a suitable drain is nearby. The container on ours is
quite small so if I we were using it in a fixed position I would probably
sort a drain out.
