Hi I am new here, and i guess a little cheeky, so please be gentle!
I have a quite large garage at home here in the UK its approx 10m * 8m where I am tinkering on some old cars, its starting to get colder... the roof and walls are reasonably well insulated but the floors cast concrete and cold just like the metal cars are...
I also have a small unused greenhouse next to it.
I want to build a cheap (if there is such a thing!) DIY air to air source heat pump and site the intake inside it to pull a little extra heat out of the green house etc over the ambiant air temp... to raise the freezing air temp to at least a two jumper level! in the mid winter.
Has anyone got any helpful thoughts or easy to build plans using readily available economic parts? which a competent tinkerer could deal with?
Many thanks for any help
David
