Oil filled radiators V Electric radiators
I am building an extension and would like to know what would be the best option for heating it (efficient and cost effective).

Beware if you are on a fixed tariff. The Calculator says I can save £180 a year by switching. I was surprised at this so I looked a bit closer and found that it assumes I will go on to Standard Tariff when my fixed tariff ends next April. There is no way I will go to Standard Tariff, I'm not that daft! I worked out that if…

Have a look at MSE's reference to Energy Helpline. The headline is £15 cashback per fuel switched Energy helpline* - get £30 for dual fuel I think that these two headline assertions are just about as misleading as any MSE-criticised energy supplier has punted. MSE seems to agree, as the rest of the reference - in smaller…
