The best form of electric heating in your opinion...

[Colin Integrale]

Wocha folks,

I don't really deal with much electric heating so I'm after some of you lot's opinions...

There's a flat I did some work on recently that has just had 3 storage heaters taken out and the girl who's gaff it is wants new heating in.

I've been told that panel heaters are quite a good way to go, but I was wondering what you lot thought?

It's a 1 bed flat in Brighton with a fairly big front room and a fairly big bedroom too, both with quite high ceilings.

It's all still rigged up for the economy 7 thing, but I was wondering if the other way was better.

Any help would be the proverbial cats testes.

Cheers

Electric is the way. Isn't electric heating of water monsterously efficient (like 99%) ?

Electricity will always be generate-able by many methods

Gas will not

We are ok for 10-20 years with gas but it is finite.

unless one eats alot of scotch eggs

the best form of electric heating is the spur which feeds the central heating boiler!

I have nothing constructive to to say on this subject

But my coal costs me money now:mad2:, I always had a miner neighbours overspill,the poor guy died.then his wife turned evil and had gas installed,end of my free coal era.:74:

Electric heating and 3 and 4 pounds a day,the shock of prices like that would give me the shivers :dizzy2:

Long live king coal

Love it. Can't beat a bit of coal. Got an open fire , not the most efficient thing I know but when its real cold I indulge in some coal and boy does it pump the heat out

£4- £5 a day. -thats £28 -£35 a week ( see i can do sums ) . i'd rather freeze for 6 days and have a decent night in the pub.

Just a side note, when I say £4-£5 a day thats total electricity cost not just heating! :rolleyes4:
