I'm wondering whether I should fork out for gas central heating in

I don't have gas, I have domestic oil heating. However, this winter I
have used a small fan heater to heat only those parts of the house
I'm actually using and I reckon it's worked out cheaper than oil.


It can be. I tend to do similar. Not heat the whole house.

Perhaps we should invest in more zoning valves.
