Hi
I am moving to a property built in 1750. It has no central heating but relies on electric storage heaters on econ 7. It also has a wood burning stove in the dining room and 2 fireplaces in the lounge. Upstairs there are 2 blocked firepaces that utilise the chimneys from downstairs ( hope that makes sence? ) Hot water cylinder is heated by an electric emersion heater. There is gas to the front door, the cooker is electric.
My question is what is the best way to heat the house and water and cook? I could get central heating, but would that cause problems with the house "drying out" to much and would I end up with copper pipes all over not in keeping with the property. I really want to get rid of the storage heaters cos they look naf!!
Any sugestions would be much appreciated
