Hi,
I live in an area with no piped gas and am living in a bungalow without heating, on a plot which has detailed planning permission.
The plot will be going on the market shortly, but in the meantime, since I'm living there and it's getting cold, I need to sort out some kind of cheap, re-usable or re-sellable heating.
There's no point installing an LPG tank, so I think my only option is electric.
I have already fitted a log burner, but now the temperatures are dropping, it can't raise temperatures throughout the house.
I also want to have some kind of automatic back-up, so that I can go away for a week, should I want to.
So can anyone suggest how I could do this?
I've considered wiring in some heaters mounted on the wall, but would I then need to get an additional electric meter fitted?
OR should I just buy some plug-in electric heaters with thermostats and use timers to control when they come on?
Essentially, I'm looking for the cheapest overall system to run and install.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
