It would probably be cheaper in the long term to get rid of E7 and buy
a mobile gas heater and a bottle of gas.

One such gas heater will heat an average living room perfectly
adequately. In a home that is unoccupied during working hours on week
days, a 15 Kg bottle will last about 2 weeks in midwinter (depending
on the room insulation).

A 15Kg re-fill costs a bit under £30 today. So you will be spending
about £60 per month to heat your living room.


I recommended it as a standby in case of emergencies. The OP has a
storage heater and E7 he is using for that ATM
