Need suppliment heater

[JohnMo]

We have two issues

1. Changed the use of one the bedrooms and need some additional heat.

 

2. Room has wet underfloor heating running at low temperature, but we installed carpets with UFH underlay, but it insulated the concrete floor from room too much.

 

Room temp ok for a bedroom, but not for sitting in for any length of time.

 

Need a temporary heat source as room will revert back to a bedroom in a year or so.

 

Have seen this, but not sure if a load of rubbish or good, only need about 300 to 400w. Anyone used or have an alternative temporary solution.

 

 

 

Thanks

Actually that looks good, I too may need a little extra heat in bedrooms in very cold weather so might get one myself.

 

ha, out of stock but just ordered one of these on EBay, worth a punt. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124984666311?_trkparm

They seem spot on for a temporary / relocatable ‘hit’ of a little additional heat. 
Thermostatic too with timer by the looks of it. ?.

Will report back with a review when it arrives next week ?

I have something very similar from The Range.

Cost a tenner I think.

They are pretty good for a 400W heater, but you can hear them.

Just bought one similar, but with remote.  Will also report back.

I guess you will hear any fan heater heater?

Some are better than others.  I had a really quiet one for about 15 years, it eventually went pop last year.

They are not too bad, and I do have it within 4 foot of where I sit, fine in the living room, and it can heat up near enough all the house.

I am a fan of the cheap generic (sold under a host of names) convector heaters, that have a thermostat and 3 different power levels down to 700W. They are silent and don't have the worry of a fan heater so I would be happy to leave them unattended (which I would not with a fan heater) Usually about £20

Second what @ProDave says. I have a few and they are great, very quiet and just a small click when the thermostat calls for heat.

My house used to have them fitted in the bedrooms.

I find that 'small click' more disturbing than a fan.

It is like the delivery boy knocking on the door during an afternoon nap, an unexpected sound that raises me from a good slumber.

Got the heater, from eBay and it comes with a remote control.

 

A little larger than expected, but ok.

 

You can set temperature and run down timer and change fan speed from low to high, you cannot operate without fan on.  The heater will modulate the heater output, once it senses room is up to your pre set temperature.

 

Fan is a little noisy for a bedroom, but if you just want to take the chill of a room, which what I was looking for it's fine.  Once the room at an ok temperature then switch it off.

 

Once you select off, a 60 second rundown timer starts to allow the unit cool down before it stops.

 

For under £20 not bad
