Default Crappy night-time economy 7 electric heaters

If you really want to keep storage heaters (which - in my opinion -
are an invention of the Devil!) you can get modern ones with much
better insulation and output heat control - along with booster fans
connected to the normal supply to get heat out during the day.

If I had them, I'd throw the lot out and put in a decent gas-fired
system with radiators. Not only is this much cheaper to run, but it
is also infinitely more controllable - and provides heat when *you*
want it - not when your supplier says you can have it!

Thanks - I would put in gas but the plan is to move in the next 2
years so it is not cost effective.


I wouldn't be too sure about that! Assuming that you own the property rather
than rent it, you are likely to increase the value by more than the cost if
you put in a decent heating system. Storage heaters are a strong
disincentive to many potential buyers.
