We have a halogen heater and fine it does what we need. But, today I've bought a fan heater mainly because my eldest daughter and hubby can't sleep with the light comming off the heater, so we will use the fan heater (lowest setting) through the chilly nights.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, you're all so helpful!

I've also thought of another query, as i will have electric hook up, is it better to run the fridge off that or use the gas? Does it make any difference?

For general heating we use a panel convector bought for less than £10 from Tesco. It is a metal box with heating elements inside and holes in the top and bottom surface so the air passes through and is much lighter than the oil filled. 

It is switchable 500watts (2amp) or 2000watts (8amp) so will operate on a 10 amp supply but you would need to ensure everything else is off at the higher setting. We find our fc is kept warm overnight on the lower setting and it is totally silent unlike our fan heater. 

   hiya   use electric for the fridge .it costs too much to run on gas.
