Has anyone
tried one of those oil filled electric radiators? Are they expensive to run
and is 2K powerful enough for a room 3m x 4.5m? Is there anything else on
the market that is suitable?


Look at a heat pump air conditioner. Used as a heater you get about
2 or 3 times the heat output compared with the energy input. So for
3kW output you pay for 1 or 2 kW input. As a bonus you get an air
conditioner for the summer.

Price about GBP300 if you hunt around eBay for a DIY fit.
