Electric Heating

[MikeAlblas]

I am trying to put some heating into a cottage I'm restoring. Ive had quotes for oil fired - highly expensive! As we dont have gas in the area Im thinking it must be electric.
The cottage is quite small - Lounge 12' x 12', similar sized bedroom. kitchen 9' x 9', bathroom 8' x 7' and hallway about 12' x 7'.

Can anyone give me some advice as to what heating I need to think about please.

How about ground source heat pump, solar along with an electric boiler?

Electric will be hideously expensive to run, it's by far the most expensive way to heat a property. Look again at oil or alternatively LPG, either as bulk or (more expensively) on cylinders, running a combi boiler. GSHP and solar are worth looking at if you can get grants, if you can't then the installation costs will make you choke on your coffee!
