What type of heater would you choose to heat a snake room? Aiming for 76 or 77 ambient, as I keep corns and balls in the same room. Then each rack stack is controlled independently by Herpstats.
I have baseboard heating in the snake room, and it's the exact same wattage as my oil-filled heater. Just wondering what you would choose? Would one of them cost more than the other to run? I have read that oil-filled can be more efficient at heating a room as the oil stays warm longer. Is there any truth in that?
I also thought maybe the oil filled might be better since I can place it in the center of the room. The baseboard heater runs along one side of the room so one side would probably get warmer than the other. Also there's an inch or two of the baseboard heater that is right up against one of the big racks, so I think I am leaning towards keeping it off.
I am also toying with the idea of getting a little fan and mounting it nearish to the ceiling to circulate some air. Worried if that would cost a lot in hydro charges. Do any of you keep fans running all the time? The room is small, probably about 8' x 10'
Anyways, I'm rambling now. Just looking for ideas on heating.
