In the lounge we have a log burner which is lovely.
In the orangery we have no heating in there at all, no radiators, nothing. Its lovely to sit in there in the summer but its virtually unuasble in the winter. Its a bit of a waste because I love that room.
We were looking to just pop in an electric fire ( one of those that look like a log burner) but this would require putting a socket in, as there is no socket where we need the fire.
Then I looked at fires on the internet but not sure how many KW's I will need to heat the room. Most fires are 2KW but go up to 5KW.
The room is not huge but the height of the room (there is no ceiling as such, just glass) is the height of the house ....3 stories..and heat rises!!
So then I wondered would a gas fire be better? I think they are cheaper to run, but would a gas fire give us more heat...or enough heat?
