DIDO.1 20,854 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Our house is more or less kept warm with the log burner, it heats the downstairs quite well including our bedroom. Upstairs the youngest has the chimney breast running through his room and this takes the chill off his room. He's a hot kid, even in winter I need to pull his duvet off him as he gets red hot in bed so I'm not worried about his room. My problem room is the eldests bedroom.....he's a teenager so lives in there and his room is freezing. My summer job is to drop half the ceiling and insulate it ( it's a strange shape dormer room). What would be the cheapest way to heat a one small bedroom? Now I'm not tight.... but he's a teenager.....and the minute I give him a heater he will switch it on and forget about it! He's already having 20 min showers before going out to work on his love bite collection. Any ideas? Edited December 13, 2022 by DIDO.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 An electric dehumidifier is a good place to start. Pulls in all the cold damp air and pumps out warm dry air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 There's a BBC Sounds podcast? on the cheapest form of heating. I can't tell you what the conclusion was, I haven't listened myself yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
