Hi all,
I recently got some helpful advice from the forum about reasonable costs for replacing old fashioned panel heaters
with Economy 7 night storage heaters.
An electrician suggested me this other solution as he said that Economy 7 night storage heaters are old technology:
Electric Combination Radiator System, provided by this company:
http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/ehc-panel-heaters/
These run off an Economy 10 electricity tariff and provide preferential off-peak rates and times.
A third option suggested to me was also to install radiators provided by this company:
http://www.economy-radiators.com/electric-radiator-advice.html
In this case the heaters would not require any new wiring and connect to the existing points and supply. These new technology heaters use less power they say. So in other words they don't use special Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariffs but the radiators themselves are much cheaper to run, and the advantage for the user is that they get heating when they want it - i.e. they don't have to have stored it from earlier.
Considering the electric tariffs shown in this table: http://www.economy-radiators.com/electric-tariffs.html
(Economy 7, Economy 10, standing order, not standing order) and the cost of the actual panel heaters (and possible new wiring if going for Economy 7 or Economy 10 ones) and looking into the future what do you think would be the best way forward?
A) Economy 7 Night Storage (old fashion) Radiator System
B) Economy 10 Electric Combination Radiator System
C) The solution provided by the company www.economy-radiators.com which uses the existing wiring and there won't be any need of installing a new meter
I'd be grateful for any opinions you have. I'll be away for the next week and so will see any replies on my return so thanks in advance for any input...
