    Hi folks,
    I have a 18m2 room/office build as an addition to my garage and I'm looking for recommendations for a wall mounted (likely vertically mounted but open to horizontal mount) electric heater/radiator.
    I've no idea what to get. I think I need a 2kw unit, but unsure if I want an oil/water filled heater or a fancy storage type unit.

    I don't plan to always have it on, but to be able to walk in and turn it on but in the future I'd plan for a timer. I can sort that will a wall switch timer so that shouldn't be a show stopper.
    The room is highly insulated, triple glazed windows and its south facing.

    Suggestions folks?

    Cheers!

    What did you go with? Did you install a vertical one? Would you recommend?

    Completely forgot I had asked this as I had no replies. I ended up not installing any heating into the room/office as it has a huge amount of insulation and large triple glazed windows so for most of the year its keeps over 19C easily and well beyond in summer. For the winter, I've had a computer or two turned on in the space so that keeps it warmish even on a winters night.
    Those machines won't be there forever so I'd still like a suggestion, but with the little heat I've had to pump into the room to keep it warm I'm thinking <2kw electric vertical rad might be more than enough.

    I now have thoughts of getting a AC split type unit - to cool the room down in summer and heat in winter. Anyone have experience of installing one of those plug'n'play style kits which only need a sparks for powering?
