 Non electric temporary heating - BobbyG
One of my shops has been flooded in the basement due to burst pipes. To cut a long story short, we only have a couple of electric oil filled radiators down there and they are useless - we used to have standard stand alone calor gas heaters but H&S deemed these to be unsafe due to naked flame etc. Since we removed these, pipes have burst twice.
However the shops electric system will not accomodate too much load for new heaters (we run fan heaters in the shop and overnight storage heaters.)

Therefore looking for recommendations for freestanding heating, I am assuming that it will need to be fuelled by Calor Gas. Requirements would be

1. To give out good heat when staff are working aside them (but no naked flames as such that will upset H&S)
2. If possible, safe enough to be left on overnight when shop is unattended to keep some heat in the building (and pipes).
3. The shop is rented and there is only one more year left on the lease and we won't be renewing so do not want to incur huge bills

Any thoughts?
