The panel heater in the bedroom looks like…

Is there any proof in this fact as im looking to get a source to power such a device (that also works on the central heating) installed safely…

Just a thought, but should I be running my hot water and my central heating at the same time? I have a Baxi back boiler, and I just wondered if having them both heating up at the same time actually saves money? I would imagine as the heating element is hot anyway, then there would be good savings in doing this? Or have I…
