Calculating heater running cost
Hi I’m trying to work out how much one of my convector heaters cost to run per hour. I have them set on 750w but they cycle on and off.

Non-valved radiator
I am in a new build house and both our thermostat and non-valved radiator are in the hallway. It seems to me as if that non-valves radiator heats up really quickly such that we need to have the thermostat at too-high a temperature.

Hi all, I've been living in a 2 bedroom flat for about 11 months now so energy usage / billing was all fairly new to me.
