Electric Central Heating
Options
Any advice please? My daughter has her eye on buying (first time) a flat, which looks to have been 'done up' for a profit. it looks very neat and is probably fine (subject to survey). the question is: It has installed new electric central heating... my instinict is that this is going to be expensive to run? does anybody have any experience with this?
any advice gratefully received
regards

Well designed modern storage heating is much better than it used to be.
Although not as 'user friendly' as conventional Gas systems, and slightly more expensive to run, it doesn't require the expensive safety and servicing contracts of gas. On a small flat this can be a large proportion of the annual spend.
Obviously she will need to be on Economy 7(or one of the tariffs that allow a daytime top up.) and get used to using cheap rate electricity where possiple - washing machines etc on timers.
The pricing tariffs for Economy 7 vary widely and she should look very closely at all the companies to get the best deal.0
