Hello,

we are planning to build a house soon. The house will have a gas condensing boiler. Next to the house, there will be a large garage with an area of about 100m² (1,076 sq ft). I would like to keep the garage frost-free and occasionally heat my workshop to 15-17 degrees Celsius (59-63°F) during winter. What is the best and most cost-effective way to achieve this? Would it make sense to connect it to the gas condensing boiler? The buildings are exactly 5m (16 ft) apart.

Regards, Fabian

Maybe there are panel radiators that I can integrate into a wall. Then you could also place a workbench in front, or are there no panel radiators available in such large sizes?

Your heating engineer surely knows that as well.

Besides, fully blocked radiators are quite inefficient, in my opinion.

Is it possible to install the radiators high up on the wall, around 2m (6.5 ft) in height, or is that not recommended?

I think you can simply use electric heaters.
