Average adult emits about 100 watts,so just get 20 to 30 of your mates round. Toastie!
There has been no great improvement in efficiency in electric heating so you can’t save any money by swopping you current set up for anything new .
Yes no saving, cost of new kit will ensure you waste your money with virtually nill saving.So basically fox what your saying is that by replacing 3 of the 5 very old storage heaters that don't hold heat not even teatime and I have spent a fair few quid on having parts replaced that a new electric heater with thermostat and timer as a temp measure so you can set the heat when needed till I can afford new GHC there will be no saving ?
Grant's are a total waste of time I'm not on benefits but that was not my question or I would have applied and I wouldn't be asking.
My question was regarding changing out old knackered inefficient storage heaters. I just need something to improve my heating and cut my electric and storage maintenance bill.
I'm not sure which electric radiators to buy and were from and which are the most efficient
It was more if a product question rather than how to heat my property. I cannot afford ghc right now and I would like to watch MOTD with no jacket on
Oh and heres the link I watched regarding electric heating. I bet gasguys grind their teeth at it
8 minutes of lies. He does not understand the definition of efficiency either.
Why the sarcasm m8 ?, I'm asking questions about electric heaters so if you've nothing to offer then get your crayons out.Average adult emits about 100 watts,so just get 20 to 30 of your mates round. Toastie!
The only thing that heats a property is gas
As far as I can gather by the majority of replies electric heaters don't work or will cost a fortune to run.
Note I mean a mains gas radiant heater, not a portable gas bottle heater - they cost almost as much as electric heating and generate lots of moisture.
Not all gas fires require a flue ...https://www.fireplaces4life.co.uk/burley-esteem-gas-stoveNot to mention carbon dioxide and possibly carbon monoxide as they have no outside vent.
You are dead right. But those have a catalytic converter to get rid of CO whereas the portable gas bottle types don't.Not all gas fires require a flue ...https://www.fireplaces4life.co.uk/burley-esteem-gas-stove
To be honest here (as long as you don't have young children in the place) you'll be best off investing in some long johns and switching the night stores off.
If you want a warm room, those portable gas heaters that take a 15kg cylinder are much cheaper to run than any electric heater, fairly quiet and throw out a lot of heat (mine keeps an 8m x 4m room warm morning/evening for 2 months on a cylinder cost £35)
Until you can afford GCH, accept that you can't lounge around in T shirt and boxers in the winter (no shame in it, been doing it here for 2 years)
Sorry but I don't think bottled gas (butane) is any cheaper than electricity.
