Heating shed

lovehathi

Hi

We have shed that is 11ft by 16ft . Although we insulated the roof with quintherm 100mm between the roof woods. We still feel cold and we have one fan heater it dosen't keep it warm even running for hours.

so how difficult is to run the heating pipe from our house to the shed and is it fiseble atall. shed it approx 25 ft from house. boiler we have is bosch24kw i think 2 year old

thanks

Would a standalone gas heater not do the job?

dont even consider this, to do it correctly would be very expensive.
to try and do it on the cheap would be even more expensive as the heat loss on the pipe run would be excessive.

what is the shed built of, wood, steel, blocks?
How much head to you need in the shed and for how many hours a day.

would you consider something like a propane or kerosene space heater

I bought a Qlim? Heater from O Loughlins for my shed - I had used a paraglow with kerosene at home a few years before.
Anyhow, talked into buying the new one with fan on top, cut off safety etc. It Cuts Out CONSTANTLY, The error is too much CO2. No one in the room, it goes for 15 min max.

I'm not familiarwith that heater but it sounds like you could have ventilation problem, and there is not enough air getting into the shed, if this the case it is very dangerous.
it is also possible that the unit is not working properly either way you SHOULD NOT use the heater in the shed untill you get it resolved

I checked the manual for what i think is your heater and it states if e17 is displayed it is the CO2 level has increased and to ensure the area is sufficiently ventilated

Hi Everyone

The heat is going straight through the walls. If you don't insulate the walls you are basically throwing money down the drain trying to heat it. 50mm polyiso, or polyiso backed plasterboard would make a big difference.
