I do think that the two improvements I would appreciate on my old ones
are. The ability to use power not on economy 7 if need be, and some better
insulation when you turn it down so the heat comes out much slower. In the
UK the way the weather fluctuates needs both of these. I have otherwise
been happy with mine and no nasty gas or hot water issues or boilers to go
wrong. and the actual bill is not really bad at all compared with people
with both gas and electric as gas seems to have gone up a lot.
I had no idea that the system was changing. Seems a bit daft as if its
just a replacement item that should not fall fuel of regulations.
I certainly do not want any fans to be noise sources in my house.

The fan in mine is so quiet that you can't hear it.

I think that's your best bet. That and freecycle plus local ads.

"From 1st January 2018, all local space heaters manufactured for sale in
the EU which use electricity, gas or liquid fuels must comply with a
minimum efficiency standard." -- So, unless you can find some old
pre-Jan stock somewhere, you are not going to be able to buy new.


Since the minimumand maximum efficiency of an electrical heating
system (that doesn't involve pumps, motors etc) is 100%, what
possible nonsense could the EU impose ?.
